Razer PBT Keycap + Coiled Cable Upgrade Set: Durable Doubleshot PBT - Universal Compatibility - Keycap Removal Tool & Stabilizers - Tactically Coiled & Designed - Braided Fiber Cable - Green

I bought this keycap set mainly because it was show-through, but also because I buy branded accessories for the objects I buy - a slight compulsion I have. In a similar way, I use a Samsung branded case for my Samsung Note 10. Installation was a bit tricky with the modifier keys and with the keys that require a stabilizer. I always recommend doing those first whenever possible. Regardless, I figured out halfway through the process that Razer places the trays and keycaps in numerical order in case you don't take a picture of your keyboard beforehand. It certainly reduces the amount of time spent searching for a key, so props for that. The keys fit MUCH tighter than the keycaps they replaced, which is a good thing. I had problems with the old ones falling off, ostensibly because the old acrylic caps loosened over time. Key wobble after installing is about 10% better, but this is much more a function of the switches themselves rather than the keycaps installed on them. I found even the bits that attach the stabilizers to the keycap fit tight, which is good considering the space bar on the old set had very loose stabilizer posts. The brightness of the set is a good bit lower compared to the old set. This partially has to do with the plastic and partially due to the font. They portray a thinner looking font and while it is thinner, it keeps the light from passing through more than the older keycaps. I've noted some possible issues with shine-through being a huge issue on the other keycap sets with lighter colors, so I made sure to replace black with black. I'm currently reporting no issues. The only disappointment here is that the fn keys that have additional settings like sleeping the computer or modifying the keyboard brightness are not illuminated at all, but that's mainly due to the issue of lighting real estate on the key, meaning only so much can be illuminated. Speaking of the font... I like it much better than the old font. I'm getting into my mid 20s and I felt like the old keycaps were made were children with how gamer-y they looked. The newer set, while still stylized, looks more professional and less like a gamer's keyboard. The feel is an incredible improvement over the old acrylic keycaps. The older keycaps had lost the texturing, but this keycap set returned it, so I'm thankful for that. The keys also feel less rattle-like than the old keycaps so I'm thankful for that as well. The cheaper OEM keycaps that came with the keyboard felt like they rattled when I typed with them. The texturing was more modest than I was expecting, but it's still pretty good. Sound is also noticeably improved. The overall tone of the typing is lower and deeper with lighter, fainter clicks and deeper thocks. I hear more of the click and less of the loud, high pitched bottoming out of the old acrylic keycaps. The loudest keys are of course the spacebar and the modifiers. Overall, the keyboard feels more premium now than it did in the past and I'm definitely thankful for that. I'm using this keyboard pretty much until it dies so I've got maybe a few more years with it until the F and G keys quit working completely. I'm happy that those years will be spent being more comfortable. Like I said, the greatest disappointment with this set is the lack of extra macro keys. They will always be the old acrylic caps and it kills the OCD person inside of me.

Firstly, my camera doesn't do the Razer doubleshot PBT keycaps justice. My gaming room is entirely black and has low light, so it's difficult to get clear images. So, the pictures which accompany this review should be used more as a rough idea of what they look like in person. With that out of the way.... I couldn't resist buying the Razer PBT doubleshot keycaps for my Razer Black Widow Elite. Although the OEM ABS keycaps were virtually brand new (just purchased the BW two weeks ago), the thought of completing the "experience" with the Razer PBT keycaps was irresistible and I'm glad it was. The feeling of quality the Razer PBT keycaps brought to the Razer Black Widow Elite (which was already amazing) is something I can easily recommend to anyone considering a purchase. The positive are plentiful here. Razer really made a pro-consumer move with the way they handled this. Not only are you getting some of the highest quality doubleshot PBT keycaps out there on the market, you get the non-standard and standard bottom rows, plus the US/EU layout, stabilizers and a key puller. Considering the quality on display here, (in my opinion) Razer could have easily charged $60 for this set. Now, onto the details. The Razer doubleshot PBT keycaps have an amazing balance between textured and a smooth finish. I ordered the classic black, so the shine through was perfect with absolutely no bleed through. The characters were surprisingly sharp and I have to say that impressed me quite a bit. Seriously these are some of the best characters in terms of crisp lines I've seen on PBT and the RGB shine through was superior to the standard ABS keycaps which come with the Razer Black Widow. These are some seriously durable feeling PBT keycaps, you can really feel the quality with each actuation and bottom out. The audible difference between the standard Razer ABS and the Razer PBT was quite noticeable and truly heightens the experience for mech lovers. It's a beautiful thing. Installation was a breeze overall, but of course a bit time consuming. Which is to be expected. Installation took roughly an hour and a half, but was self explanatory. Remove one ABS key, replace it with the PBT counterpart. Repeat. Literally everything was nearly perfect, but with one misstep. The one con. The stabilizers for the spacebar leave room for a bit of wiggle. Nothing to be alarmed about, but I did notice it when I purposefully wiggled the spacebar to test. I would love to see Razer include a better suited stabilizer specifically for the spacebar in the future. Aside from that one minor grip, every other stabilizer included performed well, ensuring a stable downward actuation. So, in closing, if you're on the fence as to whether or not it's worth the investment, don't hesitate, because it's with every penny and the upgrade is superb!

I'm revising my review after consideration. These are some ABS keycaps with a nice textured finish. The original keys on my Huntsman Mini had a texture, but not as noticeable as these. They are stealth black, with no printed legends, so when your RGB is off, you'll have an all black, Das Keyboard looking setup. The Huntsman Mini is "OK" for these keycaps, it has north facing LED's, so if I look at the keyboard top down, it looks best. ABS plastic isn't as good as PBT typically but in this case I think they did it so they could do the stealth and the legends the way they're done. The legends shouldn't wear off... I don't think. I've included photos so everyone can see what they think. 1) Original PBT keycaps from Razer, 2) Razer Phantom Black Keycaps, and 3) Some RGB for comparison. All in all it isn't a bad "upgrade" it took about half an hour to put the keycaps on and set everything straight. The only part I disliked are the stabilizers, they're not hard they just kinda hurt your thumbs. A+ job by Razer for organization and arrangement of the keycaps installation was easy. Now I want the white set so I can do some two-tone on my board... argh

Tomando en cuenta el precio, esta es de las mejores opciones en cuanto a sets de keycaps de PBT, porque la gran mayoría vendrá sin ser shine-through (que se ve la iluminación LED de los switches) o en esta variedad de colores. Algo a considerar es la textura algo rugosa de las teclas al compararlas con sus contrapartes de ABS, ya que si tienes uñas largas vas a notar un sonido distintivo al rascarlas por accidente al mover los dedos. Además, la iluminación LED no es completamente consistente en todas las teclas, cosa que es de esperarse por el método con el que se moldean ambos plásticos que conforman cada unidad. También, las teclas de función tienen íconos que solo aplican a teclados Razer, por lo que pueden no coincidir con las funciones de tu teclado. En general, y en mi preferencia, pienso que estas teclas valen la pena, ya que nunca te vas a tener que volver a preocupar por comprar otras, porque no se van a despintar jamás. La única excepción que le veo es si tu teclado no es retroiluminado, en el que pagar ese extra por que sean shine-through no parece necesario.

Produto perfeito, com qualidade extrema...

Keycaps não ilumina muito bem forte e ela enfraquece luz para letras, números e caracteres especiais. Tenho meus keycaps da outra marca, caracteres iluminam fortes do que preto que ilumina fraquinho. Arrependi comprar e vou ficar como está. Cabo USB não encaixou bem teclado e tive que usar força pra conseguir encaixar . Bons adaptadores, Tem caracteres de idioma americano e inglês. Pior é preço alto por preto com caracter luz fraco. Serve só para quem gosta de escuro com caracteres baixa luminosidade. Faltou explicar detalhes que não ilumina forte e sim fraco.

Me gustan mucho! Hace resaltar más la luz led, lo único es que apagado el teclado, no se ven las letras, pero con la luz del teclado si funciona bastante

Now I have a mix of low profile and high profile keys on my kb for gaming They come with a tool for taking off the old keycaps and you can just slot the new ones on. It comes with both US and UK style kb keys.
