GMKWTL Shine Through Keycaps, Black Pudding Keycap Set, Double Shot PBT Keyboard caps Compatible with Cherry Gateron MX Switches Mechanical Keyboard

I got a new keyboard which I love: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB46JJR1/ It came with premium quality opaque MDA Profile keycaps. Problem is, I work in a dark office and need to look sometimes when using numbers and symbols. I searched high and wide for MDA Profile shine-through keycaps and came up with nothing. These seemed to be a bit of a wildcard as it says the key profile is "Latest Horizon Profile" which I cannot find a definition or comparison for. But I did like the look of these. They are not as short and low profile as most shine through style, and I like the fact the shine through side parts are a bit more subtle than other pudding ones. If you don't know, pudding refers to the white/clear part around the bottom of the keycaps which gives them a nice "underglow". At the end of the day, I don't think you can do much better than this set considering the price and quality. I don't dislike the profile at all, but it does still seem like a slight downgrade form the heavier MDA keys that came with my keyboard. Pros: - Quiet: My keyboard did not get noticeably louder or clacker with these caps. Maybe a little. - Shine Through: I can now see my keys in the dark again. - Not flat: I don't know the actual profile of these but they have a decent scoop and the rows are not identical. - Love the smaller pudding sides, just the right amount of glow. - Bonus: the container they shipped in is a handy way to store my old keycaps. Cons: - I wish the font on the legends was a bit bigger or bolder. I have south-facing RGB and the letters on top could be brighter (thanks to the AI in my phone, they are brighter in the photo than in real life). - I wish they were available in some recognizable profiles such as MDA or SA. To compare to another keycap set I've purchased in the past: I had this set from my previous keyboard, but they are the lower profile ones, feel pretty cheap, and the pudding sides are a lot more of the keys, so almost too much light coming form around the keys: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CB8D2YB/ These were fun for showing off the Corsair RGB which can get pretty fancy. I also did not like the font used on the legends, especially the Shift and Caps Lock.

Poor QA. I have had the caps on my keyboard for less than six months and multiple keycaps have broken at the stem.

The keys feel nice! i really like the softer curved edge on the spacebar, however, you can see some spots where they had to connect bits of the black plastic to the rest, which causes some of the shine through to be obscured in some spots. like small little lines.

Many of the fonts aren't fully shine through.. you can see the fonts on the word "backspace" "pgup" "pgdn" and even the 8s and 9s and f10 etc all have some bits of the font that's not letting the light through. The Home key doesn't work for Keychron 75 keyboards, as they put Home on the third-row-from-bottom. While they do provide multiple sizes/heights for various keys, sadly they don't have multiple options for Home. Apart from that, the keys look and feel good, if you aren't bothered by the uneven lighting of the keys.

Perhaps I should have studied harder, but the bottom line is these keys are very DULLY LIT on the keyboard I've installed them on. The keycaps feel absolutely great. Properly sized and balanced, solid and clicky. These do nothing to minimize the quality of the keys you put them on. However, do take note of where the LED light on each key of your keyboard is located. If it is on the UPPER HALF of your keys... You can use these. They will probably be very vibrant and bright. My keyboard LEDs are on the LOWER HALF of each key. This results in a DULL LETTER, NUMBER, OR SYMBOL. Do not get these keys for backlighting if your keyboard LEDS are on the lower half of the key. I also would not recommend them for overall legibility. They look attractive, but they are not exactly readable from a distance, even if they were backlit properly. Other than that, these will be compatible with any standard individual keyboard layout.
