Womier Low Profile Keycaps for Mechanical Keyboard, Shine Through Keycaps

Cute & affordable. Very smooth touch for typing... the color is like a milky pink shade. The backlight on my keyboard does shine through, but I prefer it without the lighting. Pretty easy to set up and is compatible with my lofree low profile keyboard. Love it!

Do you have a low-profile Keychron K5 Max? Are you also frustrated Keychron never stocks the low-profile, shine-through keycaps for a keyboard with RGB back lighting, or just wanna customize? Have I got (almost) good news for you. I picked up the Gray set of these Womier caps simply wanting to have my backlit keyboard be back lit! The good: 1. The small, *single post* key caps fit nicely. 2. The key feel is very good and sound is similar. 3. These are north lit caps and the K5 is a north lit keyboard, so the shine through works very well! See photos. 4. They really give a full set of key caps, including options for the size and colors of different auxiliary keys, like different size and color return keys. Very nice. Some draw backs. These are not the fault of Womier, the Keychron caps are just different: 1. The wider caps are the right size, but any secondary posts are slightly too long. They work but make an unsatisfying click when you type on them as a result. This might be fixable by very carefully cutting down the secondary posts a little, but I didn't try. 2. The spacebar has a similar issue and does not sit or tap evenly as a result. 3. Minor: These caps run parallel to the board surface. The stock ones run in a stair step pattern and as a result these are slightly thicker at the north side of each cap than stock. See side photo where the white keys are these and the orange and gray are stock keychron. That said, I just swapped most of them to enjoy the back lighting as I like to dim the lights at night. For now I left all the top row keys which had special secondary symbols, and I left most of the large caps stock (as shown) so they actuate smoothly. The result is satisfying enough! Again, they feel great and the shine through is quite good. Will see if the bigger caps being not totally level motivates me to try trimming the Womier stems a bit. Overall I feel Womier is redeeming my keyboard with this one.

I bought this key set to use with the Logitech Mx Mini Mechanical keyboard. There are a few things you need to know if you are thinking of using them for that keyboard: 1. The keys don’t have anything transparent, so you loose the functionality of the backlighting. 2. The keys don’t have the logitech specific function keys. 3. All the keys fit the logitech mx mini mechanical keyboard, EXCEPT FOR THE SPACE BAR. For some reason logitech built their keyboard with a non-standard stabilizer for the spacebar. This key set is standard. And the two are just a TINY bit off from each other. As far as I can tell no one makes a replacement key (especially in pbt) for this keyboard. So the options are live with the original spacebar key OR do a crazy superglue surgery on one of the spacebar keys (It came with 2, a white and a light green). I tried the superglue surgery option. I’m a pretty handy person, but it took me 5 tries to get it right. When the little nubbins weren’t exactly in the right place, there was too much resistance for pressing the space bar key. Eventually I got it though. The keys themselves feel nice and I like the shades of green. Some of the keys felt a little extra snug on the switches, but I was careful when I was installing and it seemed to go okay. I’m really happy that I got the spacebar to work, because I hate the greasy look that the logitech keys were starting to get after only about a week with my new keyboard.

Didn’t see any reviews about the Wooting 60HE. Haven’t had them on but an hour but they fit well, they look nice. Fonts easy to read quickly. They allow plenty of brightness through. I very much prefer the low profile keys. The ones that come with the keyboard are way too tall.

These low-profile keycaps are a decent option if you're specifically looking for a shorter keycap set, but they do have some trade-offs. I got them because I wanted a low-profile feel on my regular mechanical keyboard, and while they do deliver on that, there are some things to keep in mind if you're considering them. First, the shine-through legends are very crisp and bright, which is great if you use RGB lighting. The black and white color scheme is also really nice—it has a clean, modern look that works well with almost any keyboard. The contrast between the black and white makes the legends super easy to read, and since they’re doubleshot, there’s no risk of the lettering wearing off over time. If you want a set that lets your RGB shine while still looking sharp, this definitely works. As for the feel, they’re fine, but nothing mind-blowing. Since they’re shorter than regular keycaps, they make typing feel a little different, even on a standard mechanical board. I was expecting a lower profile, but the change in typing feel is more noticeable than I thought. They make the overall experience feel a little snappier since your fingers don’t have to travel as far, but they also remove some of the deep keypress sensation you get with taller profiles like Cherry or OEM. If you're coming from a standard keyboard, it might take a little getting used to. One thing to note is the sound profile. Because these are thinner than standard PBT keycaps, they don’t have that deep, solid sound you might expect from thicker caps. Instead, they produce a higher-pitched, somewhat hollow clack rather than a rich, deep thock. If you’re someone who really cares about sound, this might not be the best choice unless you have a keyboard with a dampened or gasket-mounted case that can help tone it down. On a louder board, these caps will emphasize higher frequencies, which might not be ideal. Another potential downside is the fit and compatibility. They work with standard MX-style switches, but since they’re low-profile, the key height difference can feel weird if you’re mixing them with normal keycaps. Also, because they’re shorter, they don’t feel as sculpted, so there’s less of a natural flow between rows compared to a typical keycap set. If you’re someone who relies on the sculpting of each row to guide your fingers, this set might feel a little flat. They're easy to put on so that's a plus and again they seems pretty durable. Overall, these low-profile keycaps are decent if you specifically want a shorter set with shine-through legends. They look great, they let RGB lighting shine through well, and they type fine, but they won’t give you the same depth or sound as a more traditional PBT set. If you’re after a snappier, more minimal feel, they’re a good option, but if you love a rich typing sound and deeper key presses, you might want to look at a thicker low-profile PBT set or an alternative profile like XDA or Cherry for a better balance.

THIS REVIEW IS IN REGARDS TO PAIRING THIS KEYCAP SET WITH THE KEYCHRON K5 ULTRA 8K! (See end of review for a note on making the oversized buttons fit properly.) To start with, these keys are very slightly higher than the stock keycaps. That didn't bother me, but these are "low profile" not the stock "LSA low profile." They will feel slightly different, but in my opinion, not in a bad way at all. The keycaps themselves have a nice texture, and of course, they have a decent degree of shine through. They do give kind of a "hazy" shine-through look in my opinion but these are the only after-market keycaps I found compatible with the Keychron K5 Ultra with the exact same stem shape, so they'll have to do. All of the regularly sized keys fit perfectly out of the box, no problems there. For any oversized key (Namely: Spacebar, both Shift keys, Enter, Backspace, and on the numpad: +, Enter, and 0) you will need to very slightly modify the stems that grip the stabilizers (LEAVE THE MIDDLE STEM THAT GRIPS THE SWITCH ALONE). This is easy enough with a pair of needle nose pliers, as someone in another review mentioned. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SQUEEZE TOO TIGHTLY! If you do, the key won't fit on at all. I accidentally did this with one key, but was able to widen the affected stem again by sticking the end of my keycap puller wire in and slowly working it side-to-side. I would do this methodically, slowly pinching the stabilizer stabs in, then testing on your keyboard. You should feel them grip the stabilizers as you push it down. If that doesn't happen, try tightening the stem again step-by-step until it's sized correctly. If you do this right, the key will press down as smoothly as the stock keycap instead of feeling clicky.

I bought these for my Keychron K3 low-profile keyboard, and they mostly work great! The K3 is the first mechanical keyboard that actually worked for me; it scratched that “clicky” itch, and the low-profile keys felt just right. But there was one annoying issue: the keys have a decent gap between them, and I tend to sweep my fingers from key to key as I type. On the K3, that meant my fingers would sometimes catch on the edges of the keys, which slowed me down. So the stock keycaps were almost perfect, but not quite. I’d been on the lookout for replacement low-profile keycaps that might fix this. Since I wasn’t too picky about how they looked, the price was my main concern. That’s where the Womier low-profile keycaps came in, and for the most part, they totally solved the problem! I can now glide my fingers across the keys without getting snagged, which has made typing a lot smoother. (Backspace and I are definitely on better terms now.) The only hiccup is with the bigger keys: spacebar, enter, backspace, caps lock, and left shift. These keycaps don’t fit the stabilizer posts on the K3, which is totally fair (after all, they weren’t made specifically for the K3). I just kept the original K3 keycaps for those keys. Honestly, the mismatched look doesn’t bother me at all. Since I’m making fewer errors, I barely even notice the different backspace key. And the rest of the big keys feel just fine alongside the Womier ones. Overall, I’m super happy with the purchase, especially for the price. The Womier caps don’t have exactly the same click as the K3 originals, but it’s a small difference that doesn’t bother me. I’d definitely recommend these if you’re looking for a solid, affordable replacement or just want to "fill in some gaps" with a better typing feel.

Love the fact that they truly are low profile. I swapped the keys on my lofree flow 2. The only thing I wish is that the pink color also had the shine through lettering so that way the light was betterbut other than that they are gorgeous and sound amazing a nice creamy sound on top of the surfer switches

When I got my Keychron V5, I immediately switched out the keys as I did not enjoy the stock one. I thought I was happy with Cherry profile but when in a rush I kept making typos. I then started looking into low profile keyboards but decided to take a chance on low profile keycaps to start in case I didn't like it. Since I switched to these I've been making considerably less typos and mistypes. My jittery coffee fueled fingers have no longer trip on the keys. They sound really nice paired with Keychron's silent brown pro switches. I chose this set as they are nice shine through PBT's. They feel really good and are as pleasant to the ear as they are to the eye. My only gripe is that the shine through is barely noticeable on the black keys. They show up in pictures but in person the legends are barely legible. I love the set and am going to keep it, but am looking for a similar set with black keys with solid white legends. I reached out to the seller, who responded quickly, that they do not sell individual keys as they are manufactured as a set. I'll wait for their other variations to go on sale to swap these black keys.

Tasti più bassi , sono contentissima

Nice low profile caps to replace the slightly disappointing RK ones. In fact, RK customer services told me to get these after the stem snapped on one of mine.

These keycaps are of high quality that provide great feedback and nice “thuds”. They look really good on my board with subtle shine through as well. Highly recommend!

No sabía si a mí teclado le iba a quedar, pero valió totalmente la pena, quedan perfecto y no tuve que comprar otro teclado para tener las teclas así.
