HK Gaming Keycap Set for Mechanical Keyboard

TL;DR - if you're looking for thick, no-nonsense Cherry profile PBT, I can recommend these caps. If you're looking to maximize an RGB shine, or interested in a more exotic font or profile, these may not Usage: I bought these for a Keychron K8, which is a great value mechanical keyboard that ships with thin, double shot ABS keycaps - taller OEM profile, slick touch, quickly get shiny from oils, don't sound great. So I purchased these caps as I type, not game (thus I like Cherry profile). And compared to their K1, the K8 has very minimal RGB shine through - the way they've designed the aluminum bezel blocks a great deal of light. These PBT keycaps are nice and thick. The dye sublimated legends are clear and easy to read, and the printing is generally clean and uniform. They sound great on the Gateron brown switches that came stock on the K8. They are also much better feeling and typing than the stock ABS caps. And I like the splash of color that comes from the modifiers in this set. Now, because the stock caps have the Mac function key sub legends (and this set does NOT), I kept the stock caps for the function row. Also, realize these keycaps are not translucent or doubleshot, so if you're really wanting the RGB light show - these caps won't help you. And this K8 ain't your blingy shiny board to begin with. But I'm not a gamer, and for work the RGB doesn't mean a big deal to me. Thus, these caps can work fine for a daily driver. These will eventually become my second board as I am planning to make a GMMK Pro (already pre-ordered) with MT3 profile caps my daily driver when they finally ship. In the mean time, this a great budget option.

These keycaps look great and fit perfectly on my mechanical keyboard. I use a Mac and I appreciate how they included the Mac specific keycaps, as well as a choice between blue or white for the Enter and Esc keys. The dye sub printing is easy to read and feels high quality as well.

I have a Keychron K2 HE Special Edition 75% keyboard with the wood details. I've been using Womier keycaps, which are great quality, but don't come with Mac keys, and their colors here on Amazon are limited. i've been digging the classic 9009 color scheme and bought these hoping they'd do the trick. I was excited to try these keycaps, and as a whole they weren't terrible quality, but i had issues with my specific keyboard which made them unusable. the slots you place over the switch's post were too wide, and did not fit into my keyboard's spacebar stabilizer. maybe i could have sanded it down, or cut away the excess plastic to make it work, but i've just been making every excuse to do anything but buy full price keycaps, so i just decided to return them and buy some higher quality caps straight from Keychron. that said, the keys i had switched before discovering the issue with spacebar compatibility were fine. there was a bit of excess space between keys, but that may just have only been noticeable because these were light keys on a dark board. they were thocky enough, but obviously the Double Shot keys from Womier had a deeper sound since double-shot keys use more plastic. they also had a smoother surface texture than i expected, but for $15 i could have gotten used to that. the colors were great, the prints were crystal clear, and i'm actually disappointed they didn't work for me, so i don't want to ding them too hard as i'm sure they will work just fine for many folks. If you're using a Keychron board, just know the spacebar may not smoothly operate. if you're willing to modify the keycap or sand/scrape away some excess material on the invisible underside of the spacebar, these were a great quality product i otherwise would have been fine using. 4 stars only because i had no choice but to return em and Keychron is a pretty common keyboard manufacturer.

As you can see in the first picture, they aren't actually thick enough to prevent backlight LED's from bleeding through (and the LED's on the board pictured arent extraordinarily bright or anything, either). This CAN be fixed by packing or painting the inside of the caps if you really care enough, or by choosing darker colors/brightness. But defintely something to keep in-mind, and I'd prefer thicker material, but then again they were $30. If you want thick Chalk caps, buy GMK or the ePBT SA set and enjoy spending hundreds of dollars for a single TKL... The dyesub legends are high quality, thick and easily legible. So is the quality of PBT (although again, they aren't crazy thick caps throughout. Thick enough that they feel solid, though) so they do sound pretty great considering the price. Good texture, good "thocky" sound with lubed tactiles (although not as thocky or deep-sounding as thick-doubleshots or ABS caps, obviously). HK really does make great looking keycaps accessible to us lowly poors who can't spend a weeks pay on color schemes, and I'll most likey be buying more in the near future.

Yes, these are knock-offs of the Drop Pegaso keycaps. No, they are absolutely not color accurate to the original. The alphas are a dingy gray-blue, not the bright white depicted in the product photos which are, as far as I can tell, either renders that have been labelled as such or are just stolen images of the original set. The blue and gold accents seem closer, but I no longer have the original set so it's hard to be accurate. As far as the fit and quality of the keycaps: they seem fine. They're thick, I don't really see a lot of bleed-through when my RGB lights are up, and the legends seem be generally fine without any major errors. For $20.00 they're solid. Heck, they'd be okay at $40.00. After a couple of quick rounds of typing on a 65% KBD67 Lite, the feel and sound are generally good. I just hate that the colors are waaaaayyyyy off.

Update: My keyboard still looks BEAUTIFUL! I just wanted to add that I found out these keycaps are cherry profile after all. Turns out I was given OEM with original. Just FYI really, because I’m in love with my keycaps, and I don’t really care what is what at this point Hahahaha (I was wrong here —>) important info: keycaps are designed shorter than traditional cherry profile as you can see in the picture! Comparison in picture done with exact same keys (alt and esc) Review: Absolutely love this keycaps! Color is fantastic, and it fits on my Durgod K320 perfectly. The quality is very impressive, and it really hits me that keycaps used on my previous keyboards (corsair razer logi ) were such a low quality keycaps. Here are the pros and cons Pros: Beautiful color and font, built thicker than the PBT keycaps that originally came with my K320, touch feels great (feels MUCH smoother than original PBT keycaps that I received for my keyboard) color is amazing (really reminds me of the chalk days) Cons (More of a suggestion for improvement and not cons): I wish there were some other options such as no words engraved on keycaps, or picture framed keycaps instead of engraving words such as Carl or Fn1, Cmd, etc Top two rows were slightly taller than it should in my opinion. No fuss nevertheless. This is pretty much it. I was just WOWed when I started using this. Definitely willing to buy more products from this company as I am thoroughly impressed.

These keycaps are extremely smooth to the touch, and the color scheme is really easy on the eyes. I'm currently using this set with Kailh Box Silent Pinks and C3 Tangerines, and these keycaps added just what I was looking to add to this board. Light does bleed through a little bit, but not too much - it'll look better in the dark like most backlit keyboards do. The shine through is not bright enough to be seen in a well lit office. The pictures that I took were all at night - two with the backlights off, and two with the backlights on full blast. This is a really good option if you're looking for something that can cover a 65% keyboard - I have these on a Keychron K6 right now. It was one of the only sets I saw that had 1u options for Win, Alt, Fn1, Fn2 - along with the right profiles Home, PgUp, and PgDn alternatives that you'd need for a 65%. I'd highly recommend these keycaps to anyone who's looking for them. Great purchase, I'm happy with these keycaps.

I recently bought two different pairs of $40 keycaps from different vendors. They were both dye-sub cherry profile keycaps. The other vendor's product was chock-full of glaring defects. They didn't look too bad (if you ignored the defects) but the set didn't even include the caps I needed. I know $40 is relatively low as far as keycaps go but you would expect some small errors, not a handful of big ones. I'm eager to return them. This vendor delivered on the low-mid range keycaps I was hoping for. I'm happy with this product and would like to give it 5 stars except for a small thing. There is a small defect on the caps lock key you can barely tell in one of my pictures. My camera isn't so great. The black is smeared ever so slightly on the left side of the arrow. But you can't tell unless you look really close. At sitting distance they look great. Nice and bold legends. The texture is the smoothest that I have felt on a keycap I think ever. I happen to like it but if you like even a little bit of texture on your keycaps that may be something to consider. For $40 I'm happy with them and will keep them unlike the other three sets I've already returned (and the other two I'm trying to sell). TL;DR: - Good thickness - Bold legends - Defect present but negligible - Great color selection (hard to find 9009 colors anywhere close to this price) - Has all the caps needed for various board layouts (also hard to find) - Good value overall for what you get

超高級なキーキャップセットです！ This is a super high quality keycap set! Mac に関してモディファイアキーも！ Mac modifier keys, too! とても素敵なパッケージ。 Very nice packaging. PBTキーキャップはスムーズです。 The PBT keycaps are smooth. チェリープロファイルのキーキャップが好きなら、これ。 If you like the Cherry profile keycaps, this.

Bought Symbiosis Light version. Product quality is generally nice, no complaint about it. Fortunately had no space bar issue (saw many reviews mentioned that the space bar sticks and won't return once pressed?). However, the white keys of the symbiosis light set is actually a bit beige, which gives it some retro feeling. If you want some retro vibe it is not really bad, but I expected snow white keys as shown in the picture. But no big deal and generally satisfied. * addendum Also bought Chalk keycaps set, and the white keys in Chalk set are proper white. The space bar of the Chalk set is slightly sticky, but usable.

Quería un look diferente para mi teclado mecánico, ya que era todo negro. Pensaba que las teclas que venían de serie en el teclado eran buenas, pero al comprarlas con estas, nada que ver. Estas teclas son gruesas, de un gran acabado y después de unos cuantos meses, aún no se ha formado ningún brillo por el uso. Otra cosa que me gusta, es que son algo más bajas que las teclas ISO (las que suelen venir con los teclados), algo que al final lo he agradecido muchísimo. Finalmente, la serigrafía es de calidad, letras muy claras y más clásicas (sin un estilo de gaming).

I recently bought these keycaps to replace my old side printed ones where the paint was coming off. I found these ones and really likes the old style so I bought them. I was not expecting these to be great but when I got them I was surprised. These keycaps are super good quality and have I nice thickness to them. I saw some reviews about the space at not working but I had no problem with the space bar when I used it on my gmmk tkl. My friend has expensive keycaps that were 100$ or more and I honestly can’t tell the difference. The only bad thing I have to say about these keycaps is that on all the keys with letters it kind of suppressed the sound and made my switches feel mushy. Other then that they feel great with Gateron clears.

I’ve been on the lookout for a decent quality PBT keycap set for my filco TKL for a long time. Actually started looking well before December 2019 but then COVID-19 hit us and well everything went sideways in terms of stock, availability, delivery and manufacturing. A lot of keycap sets on Amazon cater for ANSI layout keyboards only as they are in reality the more popular layout. Some kits purport to be both ANSI and ISO but only provide partial support for ISO caps. The sets listed by HK Gaming fortunately provide full and proper support for ISO UK keyboards and include the double quotes, British pound, ampersand and large Enter keys. The keyboard originally was supplied with Filco ABS keys and I wore those down to a shine in about 4 years. They were replaced with a set of tao hoi dolch keycaps which were ok but again made of ABS and starting to shine. This is the first PBT set that I’ve had the pleasure of owning/using. Initial impressions are very good as they caps arrived within 24hrs of ordering and securely packaged in thick cardboard box. The caps themselves were enclosed in two plastic trays. The first tray contained the alpha and function caps and ANSI modifiers. The second tray contained the ISO caps, number pad and cursor key caps. The caps themselves are a lower profile than the tao hoi caps (oem vs cherry mx). The surface of the caps is smooth which is unusual for a PBT cap but reading the reviews for HK Gaming keycap sets is to be expected. I’d have preferred the more usual rough or stippled finish that you get with standard PBT caps but in reality for me it’s a minor complaint given the price. The caps were easy to replace on the keyboard and a key cap puller is included in the box if you don’t already have one. Swapping the caps over took about 10mins and the result is a cleaner fresher looking keyboard now with a slightly lower key profile. The legends on the keys are sharp and clear, only minor observation I’d make is that the spacing between some of the legends doesn’t match up. It’s very slight though and not something that would cause me to return them, you’ll have to judge that for yourself though. If you want perfection with a keycap set then be prepared to pay a lot more than £40. The difference in the type of plastic and thickness of the key caps has also altered the key sound of each key. It’s a little less high pitched now e.g. when you bottom out the key the tone is lower and deeper then with the ABS cap it has replaced. Overall, I like the 9009 set, it’s a little retro but with a splash of colour and it suits the Filco TKL to a tee. After all filco keyboards have no RGB lighting (well no lighting at all, apart from caps/scroll lock) or gimmicks that seem to be prevalent on gaming keyboards. These caps are good quality replacement caps for the money and I’d have no hesitation in recommending these to someone wanting to get a replacement/second set without breaking the bank.
