the only thing im concerned of is how they perform in the long run, because its ABS plastic and not PBT double-shot so they might lose their grip over time, im a bit hesitant to order them even tho its not that big of an investment for such a great look
This is like the freshest video dropped on a product that is LITERALLY not reviewed yet on Amazon. Some notes for others looking to buy this. Yes, there are keycaps with the same "crown" ring; however, it does not feature a two-layer appearance of two different plastics, like the G.Skill Keycaps & Pudding Keycaps. I am unsure of the material of the keycaps, as to whether they are made of ABS or PBT. It does appear however that the black ring underneath the border where the RGB lighting shines through though is painted, rather than being an actual black plastic injection - or that it's thinly injected before the clear plastic comes in. Same goes for the top black portion of the keycap. You actually outdone yourself on this. Literally the FIRST video for these new keycaps that just dropped. Props to you man.
The gskill ones look better (in your opinion) but they definitely aren't durable, they're laser ablated so the O will become just a circle after a couple months.
@@AmarRameow They still look/feel great! Granted, I don't work from home. My PC is purely for leisure/gaming, so there isn't constant use on the keyboard. I have zero complaints!
and here we are three years later and NO ONE has copied Gskill.. I need 1u home row for a GMMK pro and they dont support that or a 1.75u right shift key. No where can i find any clear floating key caps.
well I just ordered the hyper x ones (plus the ydk bottom row for razer) but if g.skill ever releases a german layout (with the 3 german keys ä ö and ü) and a bottom row that fits razer then I'll probably consider these in the future
Hey CTR, I just ordered the Red Dragon K530 which has the brown outemu switches on it and I was wondering if either hyper x pudding keycaps or g skill crystal keycaps would fit on my keyboard because I don’t know if the stim on my switches will match the fit for the keycap also do you know if I can swap out my outemu brown switches for cherry mx blue swiches? Or if I switched would it have to be a blue outemu switch?... please let me know if you have any answers. Thanks!
@@ConsumerTechReview ok thanks so much also the key board is hot swappable but I didn’t know if I could swap with cherrys... but I think that I can only swap the outemus with other outemus thanks so much tho keep up the amazing content
Do they have 60% set? Got a sk61 60% a week ago and it looks & sounds nice but id like to have backlit keycaps. The one i have looks nice without rgb off tho ngl
@@MoistCrack the ergonomics on them are pretty good. I think grippyness is overhyped, thats never really an issue. Its not really about them getting "slippery" Its really a matter of them becoming shiny and losing the matte black look and gathering fingerprints and grease. In a room with low light though I don't think that is an issue, but that's just me.
The HyperX ones are wayyy better IMO as I like that diffused look and their font a bit more than this. HyperX also has PBT keycaps which are much higher quality and won't shine over time like ABS. And these transparent sides look cheap IMO and they WILL get scratched up horribly. It's also very easy to see any dust on the inside of the keycaps, on the switch housings and on the keyboard plate.
These g skill caps look better than any I’ve ever seen stop lying to yourself. Only problem is abs and not pbt material. Your little dust theory doesn’t even make sense where is all this dust going to come from?
Another one. I was just going to get pudding keycaps. Now time to see which one I like. After vid: I like the em but the noise dont like and also I rather grippy keycaps
would you say for a steel series apex 5 i should use these key caps or the hyper x puddings? (i’m leaning towards the g skill but i wanted to ask a smart persons opinion)
@@skuchi9 it depends on what you think would look better. If you want to have as much rgb as possible, go for the g-skill. Otherwise you should go with pudding keycaps. I must mention that although the hyperx keycaps are great and all, there are much cheaper pudding keycaps that are doubleshot pbt and have a reallly nice font. For example, the HK gaming pudding keycaps which allows you to pick from a variety of colours.
Guys, anyone here tried this on Keychron k10pro? That's the one with south facing LEDs. I'm already having serious issues finding pudding keycaps that would illuminate key face properly. Tried HyperX and SPC pudding keys but no luck. Face is dark as night because LEDs south facing.
I would love it if these keycaps would work on my razer keyboard but I'm scared to buy them if they don't. I don't even know if the pudding keycaps would work. My brother is like "no they won't work" but idk if he's just saying that.
When I sae this again it moves my mind of buying a new HyperX Keb with Hyper PBT Keycaps but the Gskill change my mind. Why bother buying a pricier translucent only pudding keycaps than the clear same top material.

If that outer ring is painted is that bad?
@@FearlessP4P1 If they hypothetically are, I doubt that it'll be much of an issue.
meh not for me. I like how the hyperx makes a soft glow. This is too distracting for me. To each their own
You can always dim the rgb!
-totally not a salesman
these are ABS
@@bobbybeta3967 some abs Are actually far better than pbt and Pom like gmk and Pom by escape keyboards
@@bobbybeta3967 they work out?
@@renupant9763 they are 20 bucks abs, not 50-60 bucks abs...
They are really cheap quality, as much as the hyperx
i like the look of the rgb I just don't like the the being able to see my switches but love them :) nice review
Good job on 10k. GG
hey man i really like your content, and i really hope this channel blows up!
you deserve millions of subs with this video quality!
Hello love your content keep it up!
how do you have so little views? you def deserve more, great vid!
Just ordered the hyper x ones -_-. Nice going CTR... Haha im joking Hyper x still good but I agree these are a bit better
Can’t you cancel your order?
@@MisterMicrowaves nah no point
nah these look ugly imo, hyper x looks way better
The gskill ones look better (in your opinion) but they definitely aren't durable, they're laser ablated so the O will become just a circle after a couple months.
@@StaticNebula26 o is already a circle so what you said means nothing
Your legit the best at these great content,Great editing this should be a full time job for you for sure 👑
Brih how u still 34k i thought u were like in 2m or something ur content is soo high quality
So true. This channel is honestly better than the people who actually have 2 million sub.
Definitely just ordered these. They look SO good
how is the grip/ font holding up after all this time? I'm wondering if I should get them, but them not being double shot keycaps does concern me!
@@AmarRameow They still look/feel great! Granted, I don't work from home. My PC is purely for leisure/gaming, so there isn't constant use on the keyboard. I have zero complaints!
not a fan. it makes 0 sense to choose these over low profile keycaps. because do you know what's better than transparent plastic? no plastic at all.
Can you also review the redragon crystal keycaps?
no
He didn’t ask you
@@7addss idgaf
@javin who asked you
@javin that's not my question
thumbs up review for sure, yet i cant help to notice you mixed up the windows key and function key.
I actually just put these on my razer huntsman mini today, it looks insane :) probably the best 20 something bucks i've spent on computer stuff.

@@AmarRameow still as good as the day I got them on grip and font. Can't complain at all
I just bought them. They look dope. I love the sound.
Thanks for an awesome vid. Please tell me if these would also fit the corsair a K100? It looks amazing bruh
K100s are standard bottom row. Any brand name key caps will fit
I’m getting it for my k580! I’m so excited they did so well on this it looks good! Do you think it will still look bright on my redragon keyboard?
What glasses do you have? I've been trying to find a pair of good looking blue light glasses
Di you think they will look nice with a corsair k100 rgb ?
I have a Red dragon k552 keyboard.Should I buy the hyperX keycap or crytal crown keycap???
Would you recommend the black or white G skill caps for my Corsair K100?
and here we are three years later and NO ONE has copied Gskill.. I need 1u home row for a GMMK pro and they dont support that or a 1.75u right shift key. No where can i find any clear floating key caps.
can you maybe do a side by side comparison i couldn’t find any out there
I like the hyperx frosted look
Will the ducky mecha mini board light these up strong enough ? They also have a raised rgb but not sure if it is bright enough
Is there a white version yet? If not do you know if there could be some produced. Great vid btw like always
@@ConsumerTechReview thanks mate
well I just ordered the hyper x ones (plus the ydk bottom row for razer) but if g.skill ever releases a german layout (with the 3 german keys ä ö and ü) and a bottom row that fits razer then I'll probably consider these in the future
The K552 isn't a dim keyboard. I have my brightness turned down to half way cause its too bright.
Would these look good with the aukey km-g12?
These look cool, do they gather finger prints? Since they’re clear
Probably
They really remind me of the pricy razer phantoms, i really like the for the transparent layer. So nice.
is it more grippy finish than the pudding ones?
Hello! Will these keycaps work on HyperX alloy origins core? Thanks!

Is this okay on a 96 percent keyboard ? Does it have the odd size shift on the right side of the 96 percent keyboard ?
Hello, do you know if there will be a europe layout version? thank you, nice vid
I can't find any info, are these keycaps PBT or ABS?
ABS top, polycarbonate bottom :D.
Do you think the Kaihl box switches can destroy these?
Do they sound more clicky or linear than normals?
You were the first to make a video on these
Do they have 60% set? Got a sk61 60% a week ago and it looks & sounds nice but id like to have backlit keycaps. The one i have looks nice without rgb off tho ngl
They look SOOOOOO much better than the hideous white of the puddings. So glad Gskill did this. Thanks for the video!
what switches are you using in this video
I just ordered these! Do you know what material these are made from? Are they PBT?
@Luna Moon Damn. Oh wells they still look nice. I just hope they dont get to slippery 😪

Nice vid, but I for some reason like regular pudding keycaps better, idk y I feel like I don't like how you can kinda see the stems
@@ConsumerTechReview ya, I'm gunna see if I can pick up some pudding keycaps for Christmas. I'm happy cuz my parents gave me a 50$ budget this year 😁
For anyone wondering yes they do come in white
Do the keycaps get oily or are they PBT like?
I prefer G Skill for the aesthetics but HyperX for the premium quality due to PBT material. And HyperX keycaps are even cheaper.
Are these pbt keycaps or abs keycaps
Are those keycaps made of abs or pbt, also are they doubleshot?
the up-side is ABS, while the transparent layer is PBT i believe :D.
are these keycaps compatiable with the corsair k70 mk2?
Does G.skill crystal crown keycaps fits in Redragon k552? i need to know if it will fit
the odds that i got this for my redragon k552 when you talked about it
Do they fit on a 60% keyboard bc i doubt that the spacebar would fit. (i have a ducky one 2 mini)
I got gskill crystal keycaps black version for my DROP alt, man... I love how it is shining now! very cheap keycaps and look beautiful.
How is the grip/ font holding up after all this time? I'm wondering if I should get them, but them not being double shot keycaps does concern me!
@@AmarRameow the font will hold up forever. The grip is not an issue imo, but they will become shiny and not have the matte black look over time.
Here before the million!! 🎉
do these keycaps work on a rubberdome keyboard too?
i have a sharkoon sgk5
I don't think you can, since these keycaps are compatible with Cherry MX style stem and it's different from the rubber dome one.
Hey! Could you review the steel series 50$ keyboard? It is called the apex 3. It is membrane though
Hello. Are the keycaps will work on my Corsair K70?
Yes it's compatible with the Cherry MX Stem :D.
Can you please post a pic about how these keycaps look on Redragon K552 on youtube community?
Are these keycaps compatible with the Corsair K55 keyboard?
They are, as long as the switches stem are Cherry MX cross style then it will fit any keycaps set you can find on the market :D.
so you have a hyperx keyboard and you are testing knockoff hyperx keycaps?
The HyperX ones are wayyy better IMO as I like that diffused look and their font a bit more than this. HyperX also has PBT keycaps which are much higher quality and won't shine over time like ABS. And these transparent sides look cheap IMO and they WILL get scratched up horribly. It's also very easy to see any dust on the inside of the keycaps, on the switch housings and on the keyboard plate.
even the sound from pbt sound more fully less clicky ^^
Hyperx fanboys are very insecure...admit it, these ones are just better
These g skill caps look better than any I’ve ever seen stop lying to yourself. Only problem is abs and not pbt material. Your little dust theory doesn’t even make sense where is all this dust going to come from?
Wish these were fully black on top just like the white version
Just ordered these for my Pictek TKL.
The only problem with these is that they are ABS plastic. If they were PBT I'd buy them right now.
Another one. I was just going to get pudding keycaps. Now time to see which one I like.
After vid: I like the em but the noise dont like and also I rather grippy keycaps
Just get a pack of O-rings to dampen the sound. Problem solved. :)
Can you compare red dragon k552 vs. royal kludge g87
Does this set cone with a 1.75u right shift button since I’m thinking of getting it.
put this on a Womier K66 or a the K87
also delivery with the big ENTER ? key
Can u do the same comparison but on the redragon k530 u reviewed
I'm gonna order these right now amazing
Will they support Corsair K100 oPTX?
Wow I'm blown away I wanna get it so bad man
bro you linked the hyper x pudding key caps and not the G-Skill Crystal ones :)
"A cheaper keyboard" *proceeds to name my keyboard* ay:(
Are these compatible with cherry mx blues

I'll just buy the white version of this to follow my white order peripherals setup
is this keycaps compatible with steelseries apex 5?
Does it work on the redragon k552. Edit i watched the whole video so thx
as always, the light from the spacebar is terrible. They need to put 2 switches under there and not 1.
Very awesome video!
You did not even mention if this is PBT or ABS.
do you think it will fit on the apex 7 ?
Fits on all keyboards
are these compatible with tkl keyboards

If only The Razer Huntsman Elite had a standard bottom row. 😪
