SDYZ XVX Shine Through Gradient Seaweed Green Keycaps - 136 Keys, Side Print, Double Shot PBT, OEM Profile for Cherry Gateron MX Switches

These keycaps look slick on a board with south facing RGBs. The lettering is difficult to make out when the RGB is off, making for a satisfying, stealthy look. The double-shot keycaps are clear and the lights shine through. The keycaps are stable on my standard MX-stemmed Kailh Pro Purple switches and fit well. The keys are a bit lighter than the OEM ones on my Keychron K10 Pro, allowing the switch to make a more satisfying noise, while being more responsive in the rebound. Buyer beware that a second Windows key is not included in the package (for boards with two Windows keys). That is my only gripe. I subbed out the old-school menu key for it, so it wasn’t a life-changing omission.

Had every key I needed for my 75% Royal Kludge M75 Keyboard and it came with a lot of extra ones in different shades. They feel very premium and high quality to the touch. Snapped right on to my linear switches with no problems. The texture feels smooth which is very equivalent to my keyboard manufacturer’s keycaps, so there’s no stickiness or lag for me personally. Lighting still looks great after installation. Make sure your keyboard has SOUTH FACING LEDS to get the maximum usage out of the lighting as these are specifically for south facing leds.

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.

Good quality for price. Sound is average, typing feels clean enough, and the light shines through well for south facing led setups.

I was looking for some Shine-Through keycaps for my Royal Kludge S98 to make it more useable in dark environments. I wanted to keep the same color theme, and these were the closest I found. They fit well, and sound almost the same as the ones that came with it. I like the minimalist look of the blank tops on the keys, and they light up well. Lots of key options for various size control keys, both widths and heights. I did not change out the rust/clay colored keys to keep the look as much the same as it came from RK. I will change those when I find a set that color. The keys are slightly higher than stock, which is fine. They are very comfortable. I have attached pictures of 1/2 the keys changed as well as all changed, and backlight turned off. Very good keys for a great price!

These feel great, look great but the shine through isn't as bright as advertised. I tried to take a picture to share here but I realized on camera, the shine through actually looks good. In real life however, it's hard to see the letters even with the RGB lights turned up to their max brightness in a dark room. Maybe my keyboard doesn't get bright enough? I have the RK M100. Packaging came pretty terribly with all the keys loose in the box. One of the keys has a big scratch on the side. Probably from the keys being loose and scratching each other. I'm still going to keep them. I don't really need to see the characters as I have all the keys memorized. The all black still looks great. The scratch, although big, is not visible as it is along the side of the key so I don't mind.

Great value for the price. Caps are all a high quality finish and sound great. Only one complaint, but could be the Durock switches, is they go on SNUG. Most times removing a cap ends up pulling the switch from the board. Not a big deal and don’t plan on removing them often but something to note.

OK lets face it, your choices if you have a keyboard with south facing LEDs are pretty limited. Are these the finest quality , probably no, are they complete plastic e-waste - no What they are are a set of fairly thick keycaps PBT or some other plastic (does it really matter) with a dye sub coat with the characters stencilled out on the side. And they do exactly what they say on the tin! what do you expect for the price :) In other words perfectly acceptable side printed keycaps which fit a south facing LED key board and a full set to boot, a very price competative buy and do the job, so for that reason alone 5 stars.

My fave set of caps

Really great keycaps for the price. They work very well with ny current 75% keyboard and I have yet to notice any lights go not go through or be shown in a strange manner. I use an ANSI layout instead of ISO. So I have not tried the ISO keycaps.

Amazing
