XVX Side Print Gradient Red Keycaps, Double Shot PBT Keycaps 60 65 75 100 Percent, Shine Through Custom Key caps Set 136 Keys, OEM Profile for Cherry Gateron MX Switches

I read a bunch of reviews after receiving and installing these caps. And those reviews make these caps seem like they have all these little problems here and there. I didn't find any of the problems. These caps are 1000% better than what they replaced. I couldn't see what keys I was hitting at all before. Now I can see very clearly what is under my fingers. I have no complaints at all. The one thing that could have been better was the key polar. But that isn't that big of a deal, especially if you already have a better key puller. The key caps themselves let plenty of light through look great. Feel good and make using my keyboard so much easier overall with the shine through working good to let light through and the keys look great with the lights off too

First of all, this is the one I bought: XVX PBT - Side Print 60 65 75 100 %, Double Shot Shine Through, Black 136 Keys Set, OEM Profile, Minimalist Style Phantom for Cherry Gateron MX I must say I know I was fortunate: my set came complete and exactly as described (especially according to one of the images on this item's Amazon page, which I've also added to this review); unlike many reviews mentioning sets with missing keys, duplicate keys, or both. I've also shared a picture of the included trays: I wish they had included a lid for both trays, because the keys on the 'NumPad/variants' tray came absolutely scrambled; putting the other tray on top is definitely not enough. The included lid kept its keys perfectly ordered. (Then again, that's a minor issue compared to the possibility of not getting a complete, correctly assorted set.) Another thing you can notice in that picture (I took it after mounting most of the keys) is that they aren't quite "black" (as described). My MIKUSO keyboard came with truly black keys and, side by side, it's evident this set is rather dark gray... but I'd say they are dark enough; I'm not really complaining about the colour. I received a uniform set (some reviews mention sets with a mix of dark and darker gray keycaps). I guess quality assurance processes have improved, fortunately. Compatibility: I actually bought these keys to test my keyboard switches… MIKUSO is not a "mainstream" brand (as far as I know), and what I was actually after is a Dvorak layout keycap set. My keyboard has "Cherry-like" switches, but I needed to be sure before spending $80 or more on a custom Dvorak keycap set (If this brand offered a standard Dvorak layout, similar to how they offer this QWERTY one, I would have bought that one for sure). All the keys fit, although rather tightly (too tight for my taste: I fear the switches' stems could break), even the space bar (I tested it, even if I ended up leaving it out), as some reviews mention problems with some keys, especially that one. I'm thinking that on true Cherry switches, these keys might fit perfectly and my particular issue is due to my keyboard having 'Cherry-like' (off-brand) switches (they must be, since this isn't an expensive keyboard. I love it though). I didn't even plan on actually doing what I ended up making with my keyboard (as you can see in the picture), but after this set helped me to (finally) properly understand all about keycap standards and paradigms (R1, R2, R3, R4, shapes, heights, etc... all that good stuff), I changed my mind, and I'll probably just abandon the idea of getting those very expensive Dvorak keycaps. (I am an accomplished Dvorak typist, and these "blank on top" keys are actually enough for my needs. I don't look at the keyboard while typing, so having a visible Dvorak had more to do with avoiding confusion when others try to type on my pc.) TL/DR: I had the good fortune of receiving a perfect set, and I think their Q&A has improved; they seem to really be Cherry-switch compatible; I wish this company offered a Dvorak layout set, and also a lid for every tray; and I recommend this set to any 'Cherry-like switches keyboard' owner, as they are inexpensive enough to warrant at least trying them out.

These keycaps feel great on top of Gateron yellow switches. The color gradient is not too dark nor light. Make sure your keyboard has front facing LEDs otherwise the letter light will be quite muted. I was hesitant on buying more XVX keycaps as I didn't like my first MOA set. These are much better. Keyboard looks sleek and minimal when lighting is off.

UPDATE: As much as I wanted to give these great LOOKING caps a fair shake, These have started to shine in just over a month of ownership. I do not have particularly acidic skin, nor are my fingernail long. I had higher hopes for these as they do look nice. But gaining a shine on the home row in just over a month is NOT the kind of quality that inspires me to make future purchases. At about $15-$20 these are still not a great value proposition unless you just need ANY keycaps to do the job. If you expect literally ANYTHING more, just save a few more dollars and go for AKKO or EPOMAKER or...well, just about any other $30-$50 set. Okay, so I need to point out that my keyboard is a custom build With south facing LEDs. The PCB sits a bit deeper due to there being a foam pab in between the plate and the PCB. It is an EPOmaker galaxy 60 barebones with Gateron Milky pro V2s. I say this because it may have an impact on my experience that you would not have with your own keyboard. This review assesses the keycaps as priced at Sub $20, performance is relative to the price. The absolute weakest aspect of these caps in the shine through. They are MEANT for south facing LEDs, such as mine. However, during the day, They ARE legible, but it isn't the brightest. Again, this could be due to my LEDs sitting lower in the case and my switches not being clear. However, The RGB on the Galaxy 60 is not really a weak point and I feel these should be brighter. In the Images, My LED brightness is at full and on white. Again, this may be an issue with my own board and those built similar. I have a feeling that those who have switches that are plate mounted with no foam will have a better experience. with the shine through aspect. In terms of feel, They do have a texture that, to me, is quite plesent and gives enough of a tactile response. The F and J keys both have prominant ridges that some typcists may hate, or love. But they are there assuming you care about them. The caps themseles are aboslutely beautiful in color. If you have a navigation cluster (Insert, Pg up, pg dwn, delete, home, end) The pack comes with alternate colors in case you, like me, like to remap those in a WASD formation for work in a DAW. To no suprise, they are a bit more crisp sounding than ABS keycaps. Keep that in mind if you really like that "creamy" sound to be as prominant as possible. I was a bit concered about the side printing aspect as these are the first side print caps I have tried. However, for my part, I was worried about nothing as, even with the dissapointing illumination, they are easilily legible enough to see at a glance with the exception of the navigation keys which I already know by memory. No, these caps are not high-end. But for those on a budget, you could do a lot worse. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE NORTH FACING LEDS, AVOID THIS SET. As even with south facing caps as they were made for, they do not seem very bright. With north facing LEDs, Your solid stem will obstruct the light that is supposed to be directed to the south side of the cap. Similarly, top-printed keycaps with the legends printed higher on the key are normally a poor choice for south facing LED for the very same reason. Of course, there are exceptions. Overall, these keycaps are a genuine 4 stars from me. I have not taken into consideration the mold quality, legend placement or crispness as I feel that at this budget, those are flaws that you are simply going to gamble with and are qualities that would be more expected on higher-end sets. But, given their price, I feel these are a very decent set for those looking to improve over stock keycaps on otherwise stock budget boards, or alter the sound from ABS keycaps.

These are so underrated, it’s really good at night to see the keys

Love the overall look and quality, but some of the characters aren't uniform. Many of the keys are perfectly uniform (M, N, J, K in the photo). Some, like the &, 8, 9, 0, P, have parts that are so thin, they 'break up' visually. The photo is brighter than your eye sees it, so the thinner areas are quite a bit darker in person. Overall, the light coming through the caps is about perfect where the caps are consistent. This is my first set of side print keycaps, and despite the inconsistent characters, I like these. Nothing to compare to, but material wise, they seem very solid. These work well with the silent switches I have. Shame about the one flaw: doesn't bother me enough to return them, but enough that I'll likely replace them at some point.

Perfect! Great matte texture, great thickness, great shine through on the great font key labels, great thock sound, and a great selection of alternate keycap shapes and sizes. They went way above and beyond and included various slope options for the keycaps, different sizes, and that allows you to even mix and match them if you want (I do to help with touch typing on certain areas of my keyboard). 10/10 this is an excellent OEM profile keycap set.

Great keycaps for the price. They look clean and you can easily see the letters/numbers while typing if you need it. I also love the soft feed and sound dampening it has, it gave my keyboard a more ‘thocky’ sound. If you are using a MacOS system, some of the keys will not match up so you will need to remember what is where if you plan on using them. They are much better suited for a windows keyboard set up, but overall I like them. One downside I had was some scratches on the keys (pictured). That was disappointing, and ruins the overall look.

Mi hijo está encantado con este teclado.

الkey kaps ليست كما في الصوره بحيث ان الأحرف ليست فيها اضاءة rgb وانما طباعة احرف فقط

Great quaility. Shine-through is also visible in very bright environments. There are no blemishes on the keycaps. All look clean.

Son lindas, fáciles de limpiar. En el paquete vienen de más, le quedan al 75% y hasta al 100%

Amazing
