OHY XVX Shine Through Keycaps -133 Keys Cherry Profile Double Shot PBT Keycaps Compatible for 60%/75%/100% Retro Gaming Mechanical Keyboard-Coffee Brown

I got these to upgrade the looks and performance of my good old Keychron K4 RGB V2 keyboard. The keyboard was acquired by used me via ebay and was in relatively good shape, but the OEM keycaps had a profile I didn't really like. Additionally, the shine-through on them wasn’t' all that good and they all had a case of oily-sheen wear that showed their true age in keyboard years. There’s a certain freedom in the acquisition of older, quality keyboards like this; I got mine for $25 with shipping, so how wrong can you go? It opens the door to tape, foam, keycap and switch mods too because the price of admission for all of this ends up being less than other more high-end keyboards currently available, even at Amazon prices. Another thing that you’ll get is the satisfaction of crafting the typing experience you desire; I wanted less “clack,” more “thock,” better key feel and overall appearance. I got all of this with these keycaps as part of the foundation of my project and implementing all of the above. Enter the XVX Shine Through Keycaps. These keycaps are good-quality, double-shot PBT units with decent thickness. They also have clear legends, and the 133-key set provides enough keycaps to care for variations in key function choice and key location across many popular layouts. The cherry profile is my personal favorite and these are a great version, having a nice feel and texture. Their sizing was just right for my project and gave me no surprises with switch attachment or keyboard bezel fit. I chose the Classic Red colorway, as I am a very patriotic veteran and liked how they looked. The keycaps are unbelievably inexpensive and available NOW. I compare this to my recent group buy-in for another keycap set in an amount over $250, and I won't get my hands on them (maybe) until mid-summer of this year. I am not trying to equate the two situations, just to contrast them in terms of price vs. availability. If you have more of a budget build project, these keycaps tick all of the boxes. The shine-through performance is very good and gives great visibility ion low-light conditions. Alternatively, they provide good visibility in well-lit conditions as well, as the legends have enough built-in contrast to allow the keys to be easily read at a glance. This is in stark contrast to the OEM keycaps; their worn sheen made legend recognition a bit difficult for me, and their shine-through performance left much to be desired. Finally, the sound was also very much improved; the XVX keycaps lowered the pitch of the typing sound, and the rigid Keychron PCB lent itself quite well to a layer of masking tape and foam tape. The OEM keycaps had a very cheap, hollow sound that I didn’t like at all, so this was a great improvement. This gave the board a crisp, thocky pop to every keystroke, which was exactly what I wanted to accomplish. I kept the original Gateron reds which have a clear body that passes the RGB well and easily lights the keycaps. I also lightly lubed all of the stabilizers and now I have a genuine Keychron keyboard I love to use for a total price under $45 that can’t be bought anywhere for any price. This is the best part of the mechanical keyboard hobby; you have an infinite choice of bits and pieces to build exactly what you want. There is an irresistible charm to me in building these projects; although I do have more than my fair share of “high-end” keyboards, I don’t really mess with them on account of their cost. It’s similar to owning an older, desirable sports car; for example, the OEM exhaust system rusts out. You can now upgrade to a superior aftermarket exhaust system to achieve better overall results, and you can do it yourself. Final verdict: 5 Stars, hands down. These keycaps can't be beat for any of your budget-friendly keyboard customization and modding projects, and come in a good range of attractive colorways, all at an unbeatable price point and delivered at Amazon Prime speed. These helped make my classic Keychron great again, give them a try for your project. Thanks for reading, enjoy and God bless. A++

These keycaps look and feel AMAZING somehow they even make my keyboard sound better. I got the retro colorway to match my noctua and walnut wood asthetic, I they have exceeded my expectations. They match perfectly to the Noctua brown and tan classic look. They also fit perfectly in my keyboard, while also providing many options for color combos. They provide three different colors per key, and the keys come shipped in order, which is a small but nice touch. All in all, I would 100% recommend these keycaps.

I got these for a Keychron K10 cherry mx profile switch keyboard. The shine through is excellent, very nice feel, and I couldn’t be more pleased with them. The keycaps are a bit more slippery than the stock keychron ones, but in a good way, and very well balanced. I would absolutely buy them again and will probably pick up another set for the wife too.

These are one of the first sets of keycaps I bought when starting this hobby! They’re well made, not thin, cheap feeling! Still in my regular rotation of swapping between all my different keyboards!

Good look and feel - terrible shine through. The letters lack clarity and brightness, even with north facing RGB. Comparison of my original keychron T cap against these.

The keycaps are great quality for the price. I added them to my Aula F108 keyboard with caramel latte linear switches and they’re the perfect creamy sound and feel for my taste. I’ve had issues with other “creamy” keycaps where the spacebar makes a pingy sound but thankfully the space bar in this set doesn’t do that. One thing to note is the markers are aligned at the top of the keycap. If your switches have south facing lights the backlight won’t be as bright as the product pictures. The arrows on my number pad are brighter than the rest of the keys because they’re aligned at the bottom of the keycap. I flipped my 1, 2, and 3 keys upside down to demonstrate my point. It’s not a dealbreaker for me so I still enjoy these keycaps but I thought I would mention it in case that detail is important to you.

I have to admit, I bought this just set so I could have a Red ESC key on my keyboard. I never bothered to install the rest of the set. My ESC key has a pleasant red glow and is exactly what I wanted. Was it worth it? To me it was and the entire set was less than twenty dollars. Relatively inexpensive compared to the cost of my keyboard.

Not shine through, decent set but I want the rub to come through the keys, not around them. . .

If you want shine through caps with a muted darker looks these are a great option. I really liked how the colors looked and they give a kind of relaxing feeling to the keyboard.

These do not shine through at all they are getting returned if you have north facing leds they might work but having south facing these do not work. I’m done with shine throughs its impossible to find a good shine through keycap just going to go with regular key caps now.

コーヒーブラウン レビューの写真を見ると”なんちゃってダブルショット’と思ってましたが、しっかりしたダブルショットでした。 打鍵音は多少音が高くなった気がしますが、真っ暗な中で使用したわけではありませんが北向きLEDの方でしたら納得できる透過具合かと思います。
