For my first mechanical build I got a set of Womier pudding caps and they were horrible. Felt cheap and sounded dead. These are amazing. I wanted something with a lot of gritty rough texture and these have it! I wanted white or black but they were sold out so I settled for mint green. It's actually not bad. If you have RGB backlight, be aware purple and white will look green. Red, Green, & Blue look good though. I also like that you can read these very well with no backlight. They fit perfect on my GMMK 3 board and are very enjoyable to type on. Most importantly feel very high quality for the price.

I bought these to replace the caps on a pre-RGB Corsair k70 with MX browns I found at a thrift store. I'm planning to mod it with some new tactile switches, stabilizers, and foam to use it primarily for typing and programming. Frankly, I didn't want to buy from Corsair, but the keyboard designers, in their infinite wisdom, used a non-standard bottom row with a6.5u spacebar and some other weirdness going on with the modifier keys, so here we are. The keys are packaged very nicely and come laid out in the US qwerty layout which made it very easy for me to put them on even though I'm blind. Thanks for that. It also included an ISO enter key and some extra bits and bobs in case your currency is not the dollar. The included ring puller will scratch up the bottom of your keycaps. Get a wire puller instead unless you don't care about your old set. I did not care about my old set.How are the keycaps themselves? I'm going to say some critical things, but know that these are overall a pretty good set, and I do recommend them. Not for 50 bucks though and not if you don't have a standard bottom row. Get some Drop caps if your keyboard is standard. I paid around 40 which is a good price in my opinion. They seem decent. They are a little smoother than some other PBT sets I've tried. It's like they were trying to get a smooth finish with a material that is inherently not smooth. It's a little odd, but not a super big deal. I noticed the plastic burrs on some of the keys weren't ground away as well as others. I also noticed the inside of some keys were rough and the inside of others were glossy. The stems have a very snug fit. They will not be coming off unintentionally. The walls are nice and thick. While I can't make out the lettering because blind, I can see light, and the red LEDs of the k70 shine through nice and bright on these. They feel good. They sound meaty. If you're used to ABS keycaps (most keyboards have ABS), then these will sound a bit louder and a bit more meaty and thocky. They transfer the vibrations produced by the switches and stabilizers better and can even make Cherry mx browns switches feel decent. It's difficult to describe just how much better they feel to type on compared to the original keycaps. It's like a different keyboard. These caps don't do the strange sculpting on the WASD keys the k70 originals had (that's a good thing IMO).Let's talk about the spacebar. It has a rough texture molded onto the top of the spacebar which was on the original spacebar. It feels good. I can feel two tiny burrs on the top of the bar, right at the bottom of the top face where the face meets the side of the keycap that faces you. Probably some leftovers from the texture molding. It is also ever so slightly warped. It'll still fit and move smoothly. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't laid it on a flat surface. The warping can be fixed with a hairdryer, but Come on, guys. The one key that makes this keyboard a headache to mod.After all that, is it a good set? Yes. Yes it is. For Corsair keyboards, anyway. Go get something else if your keyboard uses a standard bottom row. Maybe some keycaps from Drop. If you do have a Corsair board with a non-standard bottom row, and you're coming from the original keycaps, these are a night-and-day difference. It's like a new keyboard. Again, it's difficult to describe just how much better these are compared to the cheap stuff that will ship on the majority of gaming keyboards.

Great colour, great product, 10 year old son can very easy change the keycaps around and looks great when keyboard lights up

PBT with a lovely grainy texture slightly dished provides a accurate typing experience.Thick double shot with no moulding defects light really pops through the keys, the inclusion of o ring bumpers helps dampen the thump if your a heavy typist like me.Font is not to everyone's taste put its clear and executed cleanly.Please note you need to make sure the set code ends in NA - if you require ANSIThe UK set comes with the ISO layout if that is what you require.In my opinion these are far superior to Razer or HyperX offerings in this price bracket.Nice Job Corsair!

Considerate che sulla mia k95 corsair rgb (la versione completa con i 18 tasti funzione) alcuni tasti non sono adatti: quello dell'invio, che nel mio caso è fatto ad L rovesciata, e quello dello spazio (che non si aggancia in quanto sfafato di alcuni millimetri), i tasti windows che sono troppo larghi. Cambio di tastiere poi da italiana a inglese. Per il resto plastiche di altro pregio rispetto al modesto abs delle K corsair. Consigliato per chi oramai scrive indifferentemente anche sulle tastiere inglesi.

Achtung ⚠️Bin normalerweise großer corsair Fan was die Verarbeitung und Qualität der Marke angeht aber wurde diesmal leider stark enttäuscht. Erstens ist das Layout englisch zweitens scheinen die LEDs durch was mir so gar nicht gefällt...Gehen wohl beide zurück und ich bereue es mir gleich 2 Farben bestellt zu haben. Gehen wohl zurück.Passt auch nicht auf ne k95!

I can't complain about the quality of these keycaps - they are fantastic, solid and nice to the touch. I used them to replace the keycaps on my Corsair K95 RGB Platinum.Backlighting works nicely, although it is a little dimmer due to the thicker material used to make the keys, but this is a fair trade off for something that is quality. I find typing is much easier with the PBT Double-Shots, as the top of the key is slightly bigger than the ABS keycaps that were shipped as standard on the keyboard, and the slight textured feel is much better than the smooth finish the ABS keys had.The set comes with enough keycaps to fill a US, EU or UK layout as well as a handy guide as to what keys you need for each. There is also a keycap pull tool included as well.On the negative side - I would like to have had a choice of space bar, one that has the same texture as the rest of the keycaps as well as the default heavily textured one. The placement of the text on the "Enter" key for the EU and UK layout needs to be moved so that it sits over where the light is, rather than sit at the top of the key where it gets little light. Also, the included guide has a tiny error with the UK layout - the keycap to the left of the "1" needs to be replace with the alternative one supplied. I would also like to have seen the set include the macro "G" keys as well, after all, this is supposed to be a Corsair set. But these are minor gripes that I am sure Corsair will address in time.I’m not going to touch the argument of whether Corsair should include these type of keycaps as default for the premium keyboards; the provided ABS keycaps are decent enough and will last a good two-three of years before needing replacement. That’s the same for any mechanical keyboard.All that aside, these are well built solid keys, perfect for anyone who does a lot of typing or heavy gaming. They look and feel nice, and will enhance your keyboard experience.

Greetings keyboardphiles.Thought I would throw up (sounds messy) a quick review of the white Corsair PBT full 104/105 keycap set. These would be fitted to my Corsair K70 LUX RGB keyboard with Cherry Browns which I purchased a few weeks ago.Kudos and thanks to the Corsair fellow on the forums who took input from users as to whether they would like these to be made. Without him the PBT keys likely would not exist.TLDR, full review follows:Pros:-Exactly what a good set of key caps should feel like, build quality is excellent and sturdy. Time will tell how well these hold up, the race is on for cherry switch failure vs keycap wear.-Reasonably priced, some may say a little bit expensive, but you could spend a lot more for PBT and I feel happy with my purchase. Keep in mind these are niche and not likely to sell high volume, with likely a small markup.-The white on black with my K70 LUX RGB looks fantastic, like an IBM Model M bred with a stud Razer. It matches my Corsair M65 White/Black mouse perfectly.-The texture feels far nicer than the smooth stockers.-Back lighting is kept intact, though you may need to re-do some of your profiles since lighting looks different from the black keys and is not quite as pronounced.-A big plus for me is the back lighting for the numrow special characters, they are inline and back lighting is far more pronounced so my tiring eyes can see them.-Typing feels a little heavier and more solid with a good 'thump' sound rather than a 'clack'.-The white color with font is far easier to see in dark conditions with the back lighting off. I like to think that I can use these keys on another keyboard down the line without back lighting (with the exception of the bottom row, Grrr), or when the LED's on the K70 eventually start to fail. I can live without back lighting since I grew up with IBM keyboards, but it is nice when it works.Cons:-Back lighting on the numpad keys is uneven or not at all due to some writing out of range from the LED's-No really a con for me, but some may be turned off by the font (especially new abbreviations for some of the keys). I am quite fond of it though.-The extra ISO keys are a taunt and a waste, taunt because I love the big enter key but cannot use it on my USA keyboard :(Full review:The key caps on the stock K70 were the biggest weakness for me on an otherwise fantastic keyboard. They just felt cheap and unsatisfying to type on, and shortly after settling in with the K70 I began to seek other solutions for my little fingertip friends. I wanted PBT doubleshot, and unfortunately for me options were very limited due to Corsair choosing a non-standard bottom row layout, a decision no doubt instilled by a desire to soak in an Apple closed wall garden pond. I knew this going in and thought I may be able to live with the stock keycaps, but still Grrrrr Corsair!Also, the thought of the characters wearing off after a year or two was a horror just too awful to bear for me. Yes, I may be able to get replacements but, discontinued is a nasty word.As luck would have it, these released around the same time as I purchased the keyboard, yessss :)First impressions were very good. The keys arrived from Amazon yesterday, courtesy of one day shipping, in a full size retail box which was very sturdy and had full color graphics, along with descriptive text about the materials and capabilities (and how these will definitely possibly transform you into a massively attractive typing savant Batman-type person). Really, it is a nice box to just hold and stroke, I am cradling it right now!Ehm, anyway upon opening it up you are presented with two dense foam layers (which I call their nest from here out), with cutouts for each key to hug them warmly on their positively scary trip to your home with the postman. The key caps are organized exactly how they will be fitted to your keyboard so you will not have to painfully strain your memory (like remembering back to school typing lessons) or reference a picture when placing the little guys into their new home.The set comes with a key puller, but it is not quite as effective as the one that comes with the K70. I found the little nubs that snap onto the key are smaller and come loose from the key far too easily. This was not so much a problem with smaller keys, but made larger key removal difficult. Nonetheless I was too lazy to dig out the one that came with my K70 and made do.I started with a delicate plucking of one key from the NUM pad section as a trial run, and found the stock one came away from the stem a little too easily. The new PBT key slid down far more firmly, not too tight, not too loose - perfect! This firm fit continued as I replaced all the keys in that section, so far so good.I inspected some of the keys as I tore them from their snug little nest, and they are of extremely high build quality. My previous keyboard before my last was a Deck Legend which is one of the few mechanical keyboards that come with PBT key caps stock, and I can tell you these Corsair's are far nicer.The Decks caps eventually did start to shine after a few years, something PBT is not supposed to do. The Corsair PBT keys are of a rougher texture than the Deck, something I really like as my fingers feel like they have more traction and stick, like a good pair of running sneakers. As a result I feel confident these will take a lot longer to wear down. The transparent lettering is very well formed and feels completely flush with the surface. As a comparison I recently sampled some WASD key caps, and the characters were not as well formed as these.Carrying on, I removed all the remaining stock keys, lining them up in order on my desk so that I could place them into the nest for storage. I inserted the new PBT keys row by row, all fitting perfectly firm and straight.An independent review on another site mentioned some black residue on the keys, caused by the nest foam, but I did not experience this and so did not have to clean them.These keys have made a big difference already to my typing experience. I was lucky to get my K70 on sale, and with the additional cost of these keys I basically got the upgrade for the price of a normal retail keyboard.I think Corsair should include these on their higher end keyboards stock, or at least as an option when ordering for a discount. Assuming the LED's hold up, I should have this keyboard for a long time or at least as long as the two year warranty holds up.I also do not think the white color is a cause for concern with regards to dirt. Assuming you do not wallow in the mud when raining (I don't know, that may be your thing) like a hog in, well mud, then these should be fine with the occasional wipe down needed. Remember, old school keyboards did not have black keys and I do not remember needing a mop when using other peoples input devices. If this really continues to stress you out, buy the black ones when they come back in stock in a few weeks.In short, buy these if you have the extra cash, they complete the package. Can you tell I like them?
