HK GAMING Custom Keycaps | Dye Sublimation PBT Keycap Set for Mechanical Keyboard | 139 Keys | Cherry Profile | ANSI US-Layout | Compatible with Cherry MX, Gateron, Kailh, Outemu | 9009

Fantastic value for money. The keycaps look great, matched my custom build's color scheme perfectly, and feel noticeably thicker and higher quality than I expected at this price point. The large assortment of extra keycaps is a huge bonus, making it easy to accommodate different layouts and personalize the setup. Highly recommended.

Fantastic set of keycaps, solid and well made, feels great under the fingers. Couple of minor issues though. The UK 2 and 3 replacement keys are great to see, but the typeface they use is very slightly different to the rest of the keys - if you don't look too hard you might not notice it if you hadn't just read me type this, so, er, never mind. I also found the space bar had a warping issue, probably the usual cooling issue that many spacebars suffer from, and a little hot water fixed it quickly.

I’ve been on the lookout for a decent quality PBT keycap set for my filco TKL for a long time. Actually started looking well before December 2019 but then COVID-19 hit us and well everything went sideways in terms of stock, availability, delivery and manufacturing. A lot of keycap sets on Amazon cater for ANSI layout keyboards only as they are in reality the more popular layout. Some kits purport to be both ANSI and ISO but only provide partial support for ISO caps. The sets listed by HK Gaming fortunately provide full and proper support for ISO UK keyboards and include the double quotes, British pound, ampersand and large Enter keys. The keyboard originally was supplied with Filco ABS keys and I wore those down to a shine in about 4 years. They were replaced with a set of tao hoi dolch keycaps which were ok but again made of ABS and starting to shine. This is the first PBT set that I’ve had the pleasure of owning/using. Initial impressions are very good as they caps arrived within 24hrs of ordering and securely packaged in thick cardboard box. The caps themselves were enclosed in two plastic trays. The first tray contained the alpha and function caps and ANSI modifiers. The second tray contained the ISO caps, number pad and cursor key caps. The caps themselves are a lower profile than the tao hoi caps (oem vs cherry mx). The surface of the caps is smooth which is unusual for a PBT cap but reading the reviews for HK Gaming keycap sets is to be expected. I’d have preferred the more usual rough or stippled finish that you get with standard PBT caps but in reality for me it’s a minor complaint given the price. The caps were easy to replace on the keyboard and a key cap puller is included in the box if you don’t already have one. Swapping the caps over took about 10mins and the result is a cleaner fresher looking keyboard now with a slightly lower key profile. The legends on the keys are sharp and clear, only minor observation I’d make is that the spacing between some of the legends doesn’t match up. It’s very slight though and not something that would cause me to return them, you’ll have to judge that for yourself though. If you want perfection with a keycap set then be prepared to pay a lot more than £40. The difference in the type of plastic and thickness of the key caps has also altered the key sound of each key. It’s a little less high pitched now e.g. when you bottom out the key the tone is lower and deeper then with the ABS cap it has replaced. Overall, I like the 9009 set, it’s a little retro but with a splash of colour and it suits the Filco TKL to a tee. After all filco keyboards have no RGB lighting (well no lighting at all, apart from caps/scroll lock) or gimmicks that seem to be prevalent on gaming keyboards. These caps are good quality replacement caps for the money and I’d have no hesitation in recommending these to someone wanting to get a replacement/second set without breaking the bank.

Really pleased with these now they are installed onto my Filco Majestouch Convertible 2. When they arrived, and during install, I had my doubts... So this review relates to their install onto, and use with, the Filco. You may well have a different experience on other brands of boards. Chose these because of UK ISO support and because I love the retro look of the old Reuters G80-9009 keyboard. The spacebar issues are well documented in other reviews and I can confirm that, on my 9009 set, the tolerances are out. Luckily the Filco uses Costar stabilisers so the distance between the lug sockets being a bit out did not matter the way it would with other stabiliser types (where it would cause sticking). The issue I did have however was that the stabiliser sockets in the spacebar did not securely hold the stabiliser lugs in place which meant they kept falling out. I was ready to pack up the set and send it back because of this as the spacebar was useless without a properly functioning stabiliser. I was thinking of gluing them in, but in the end I managed to use a plastic wrap layer to secure them in place. Seemed to do the trick and happy with the results. I did the same to all the other caps which were installed with stabilisers. The profile is like cherry but less high. They are about 2mm shorter than my Filco ABS caps which are OEM profile. Still look good on the board and no issues with getting used to them. They are a PBT cap with a smooth texture which is more what you would expect with ABS, but you are not going to get the ABS shine down the line. I like the texture. Dye sub legends mean they will not wear off, as is happening with my current stock Filco ones. I like bumps on my F and J keys. These are present but more subtle than most. I can live with them. Yes, the legend printing is out a little for the UK ISO keys, as discussed in other reviews, but it really does not bother me as I'm not overly fussy. You have to look hard to notice it. So a definite upgrade to the stock Filco ABS caps and I don't feel the need to look any further. I may get different HK Gaming sets to mix it up in the future but honestly can't see the need to spend 3x or 4x the amount of money for GMK or EnjoyPBT equivalents - I'm just not that much of a diehard enthusiast.

These are clones of popular designs of keycaps, which would be way more expensive if you got the original design. Other manufacturers need to pull their fingers out. HK Gaming can get you all the keycaps, including ISO keycaps, for £40 with quick delivery. For the original sets you're looking to pay around £150 and have wait times of up to a year. It really is a no-brainer. Quality is good and as they're made from PBT they will last much longer than keycaps made from ABS. Could not recommend enough.

Keycaps are good, and all keys are present for the UK ISO layout. And legends are clean and consistent enough. As others have mentioned, there are obvious imperfections on the bottom edges of the majority of keys. But this can be cleaned up by rubbing them with the keycap remover. My main issue is the 6.25U spacebar. The stems arent centred with where they should be, so the key feels stiff and odd. I managed to get it working nicer by cutting some of the stem supports, but you shouldnt have to do that...

First set of caps that wasn't just in a plastic bag, and first set that's actually got UK layout as well as US. Goes to show, better to pay a little more for quality than cheap out. These caps aren't transparent but then again they not supposed to be. I love the retro feel, and the ability to add a little customisation with the various ESC and ENTER key colours. The thicker plastic also effects the sound of the key presses.

i like these keycaps, the colour and price are very agreeable however i've had issues with the space bar shifting around and not fitting the stabilisers properly and neither of the stepped caps lock keys fit a standard keyboard, there's also a few rough edges on some of the larger key caps (see pics). overall i think it's just OK for the money, be prepared to do a lot of fixes to get these to work as intended

Overall I like the set. It was difficult to find a set that would fit my Keychron K4 v2. I had to get a bit creative with the layout but managed to find caps for all the keys. The first time I ordered they got lost in the mail which was disappointing but I was able to reorder and though they were a bit delayed again they eventually got to me. The set feels and looks nice. You can see the backlight on the keyboard well through them. The one thing I really don’t like is that some of the keys are different heights so the keyboard looks a bit unbalanced in spots.

Triangle Keycaps Cherry Profile - incredible value at around $23.99. I have $99 drop and $149 artisan keycap sets that are no better. 5 stars - pleased with clean white color and texture (White / Silver - Roccat Vulcan II mini). 2nd purchase from HK Gaming. Both flawless. Does a fantastic job of muting sounds despite its relatively low sculpted profile. Lightly chalky textured surface provides perfect grip. Near perfect alignment and excellent fit. Some light scuffing on the bottom but nothing noticeable during normal use and can be filed down (rub on hard surface) easily. Definitely worth the money! Wow!

Quería un look diferente para mi teclado mecánico, ya que era todo negro. Pensaba que las teclas que venían de serie en el teclado eran buenas, pero al comprarlas con estas, nada que ver. Estas teclas son gruesas, de un gran acabado y después de unos cuantos meses, aún no se ha formado ningún brillo por el uso. Otra cosa que me gusta, es que son algo más bajas que las teclas ISO (las que suelen venir con los teclados), algo que al final lo he agradecido muchísimo. Finalmente, la serigrafía es de calidad, letras muy claras y más clásicas (sin un estilo de gaming).

The keycaps are good quality, the legends are fairly fuzzy though. Good for the price.

I recently bought these keycaps to replace my old side printed ones where the paint was coming off. I found these ones and really likes the old style so I bought them. I was not expecting these to be great but when I got them I was surprised. These keycaps are super good quality and have I nice thickness to them. I saw some reviews about the space at not working but I had no problem with the space bar when I used it on my gmmk tkl. My friend has expensive keycaps that were 100$ or more and I honestly can’t tell the difference. The only bad thing I have to say about these keycaps is that on all the keys with letters it kind of suppressed the sound and made my switches feel mushy. Other then that they feel great with Gateron clears.
