HK GamingCustom Keycaps | Dye Sublimation PBT Keycap Set for Mechanical Keyboard | 139 Keys | Cherry Profile | ANSI US-Layout | Compatible with Cherry MX, Gateron, Kailh, Outemu | Modern Dolch Light

Bought Symbiosis Light version. Product quality is generally nice, no complaint about it. Fortunately had no space bar issue (saw many reviews mentioned that the space bar sticks and won't return once pressed?). However, the white keys of the symbiosis light set is actually a bit beige, which gives it some retro feeling. If you want some retro vibe it is not really bad, but I expected snow white keys as shown in the picture. But no big deal and generally satisfied.* addendumAlso bought Chalk keycaps set, and the white keys in Chalk set are proper white. The space bar of the Chalk set is slightly sticky, but usable.

Ordered these for my Keychron K8 to replace the stock keycaps.The K8 originally had OEM profiled keys, these are Cherry profile. Personally, I find Cherry much more comfortable to type on than OEM, so this suit my purposes. They are also PBT, which has a better feel to me than the ABS plastic keycaps which originally came with the board.A major letdown (especially for the price) is the quality of the finishing and the legends. Please see the attached pictures. Each and every key has rough finishing at the edges, which is very obvious when backlit by the LEDs on this keyboard. Additionally, the legends look fine from far away but look smudged and indistinct from up close (see the smudge at the top of the vertical pipe character).One thing which is good is that this base set comes comes with the ISO layout and UK layout specific keys. However, the legends for the 2 and the 3 don't match the rest of the number row -- the numbers are bolder and they are misaligned relative to the rest.All in all, a fair value probably be fine for my relatively budget build. However, I would not recommend this to someone who has a more expensive build and is looking for actual quality keycaps.

Lovely full set of keycaps including ISO UK modifiers. Feel really nice to touch and type on. Looking forward to using the rest of the keys from my 60% build on a numpad!EDIT: 30/05/20Thought I'd add a couple of minor observations, the legends on the additional ISO UK 2 and 3 keycaps are in a little different position that the rest of the key cap set. Not enough to notice at a glance but if you were to stare you can see it.I have not experienced spacebar sticking issues like other reviews have stated. If this ever changes I can update this review :)

Firstly I didn't have any problems with the space bar as many people have reported, it fit very well.The keys are good to type on, so why didn't I give it five stars ?Well for a British keyboard the '2' and '3' keys have slightly bigger numbers than the American '2' and '3' keys, also the '"' and '£' are moved slightly towards the top of the keys.Also the 'W', 'A', 'S' and 'D' keys are slightly darker than the rest of the beige keys, I don't know if this is intentional or if somewhere along the line someone has replaced the WASD keys with some from another batch.Take a look at the photo to see what I mean.

Like the colours of the keycaps a lot, more than the Ducky black PBTs that I used to have on my custom ISO keyboard (see before and after photos). These PBTs feel a lot smoother in texture and less 'matte' than Ducky or Razer PBTs. They are not RGB PBT keycaps where the RGB can pass through the letters on the keycaps. Sufficient quality as light does not pass through the grey or blue keycaps but you can see the light through the yellow keycaps (hence 4* and not 5). A positive to this kit is the ISO modifier keycaps which allows full UK layout - very rare for custom keycaps. Even more of a rarity is support for 1.75U shift keys found on a lot of 65% keyboards (Womier K66 and Ducky One 2 SF are 2U I think). Definitely prefer the feel of the keycaps over Razer after market PBT keycaps. However, £40 is still a lot to pay on top of a keyboard for most people (although very little compared to enthusiast level sets suck as GMKs) hence assuming this is geared towards those starting to get into customising keyboards, i.e. entry level. Looks great with my Razer Gears of War mouse!

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.
