So far, I'm very happy with these keys. They look good. Shine through is better than the Womier keys I bought last time. These are the main two that show up in the top result for low profile keys. most of the others are for a different style key (not cross, + sign). The plastic is also thicker on these. If I start to see wear on the heavier used keys in the within months, I'll definitely come back and lower my rating. In the past, getting double shot PBT meant well over a year of heavy use before losing texture, the womiers didn't last but a few months. I'm hoping these fair better, and initial impression is that they will. Getting into the weeds of multiple things if you want... One pic shows these white keys and my older black Womier keys that I'm replacing. Light shine through difference between the two is noticeable in the pic, but... In real life, it's a much more drastic difference. That said, when I used the alternate black keys from this set, while still better than the Womier keys, the light was definitely muted. Neither company is isolating the light from being absorbed by the black plastics. Orings! I ordered some clear orings with these caps. I was using black orings I've had forever, Hopefully you can see the impact on lighting. In pic with ERT in white keys, and YUI in black keys.. from left to right this set, E=no oring, R=black oring , T=clear oring. Womier set, Y=no oring, U=black oring, I=clear oring. You can see that the black orings cause more disruption than the clear on the bottom of the lighting. Makes sense. Clear does still cause some disruption which isn't clear in the pic, but it is there... Orings make the typing experience much more pleasant than bottoming out on a hard surface, especially nice with tactile keys, so it's worth it to me. Also less travel to the bottom. Without orings, my keychron k3 pro has about 50% travel to the actuator, then another 50% to the bottom... One oring helps, 2 orings was slightly better, but muted the light like having a black oring on there. I settled on one oring. I don't overly care about the lighting, but I do like a backlit keyboard, and I don't want my keyboard to look like a cheap piece of junk that can't manage it's lights whenever I look down at it. Other thoughts... Aside from the plastic being thicker itself, the keys are also slightly taller. Really not noticeable to me when typing, just an observation. They provide several different key sizes for keys that might be different depending on keyboard. For example, there are 4 different width shift keys. This makes sure whatever brand keyboard you have, you are likely to have the keys that you need to fit. One thing of minor concern, you really have to push these keys into the key holes with force to get them all of the way in. I was slightly concerned about busting my keys to get them all of the way in. They are very tight to fit in there. I know how that might sound, it just is what it is... I changed rings several times in the process and it was still tight each time. I even pulled a key out of the board one time. Thankfully it's a hot swappable setup, so nothing was broken, I just popped that bad boy back in there and every thing was fine. Side note: I kept my F row keys so that I kept my FN+ indicators. All of these keys that I didn't replace are in the set, I just didn't use them... I wish these key makers would provide decals to stick onto keys for these types of things. I don't use them enough to remember them, and I use them enough to not want to forget how to use them... In the end, none of the things I'm pointing to are gripes, just observations. These seem to be really well made. As long as the texture doesn't wear off in a few months, then these are great keys.
