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 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
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!
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
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
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.
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?
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
having watched a ton of keyboard enthusiast videos as I then hear that sound test off that hyperX board... :( you know that feeling where, all your life, you ride economy class on an airplane where then you go on a first class/business class ticket? yeah, this feels like that... like, obviously this is an advertisement to sell the keycaps, of course the video wasn't going to dwell on the sound test... but... man... that's not like my box jades, at least the click... but yeah, I heard good things about the keycaps too... just... man...

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
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.

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
hey man i really like your content, and i really hope this channel blows up!
you deserve millions of subs with this video quality!
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
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

how do you have so little views? you def deserve more, great vid!
Your legit the best at these great content,Great editing this should be a full time job for you for sure 👑
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.
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 still as good as the day I got them on grip and font. Can't complain at all

Good job on 10k. GG
Hello love your content keep it up!
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
I just bought them. They look dope. I love the sound.
They really remind me of the pricy razer phantoms, i really like the for the transparent layer. So nice.
thumbs up review for sure, yet i cant help to notice you mixed up the windows key and function key.
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
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 😁
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
can you maybe do a side by side comparison i couldn’t find any out there
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?
I like the hyperx frosted look
For anyone wondering yes they do come in white
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. :)
They look SOOOOOO much better than the hideous white of the puddings. So glad Gskill did this. Thanks for the video!
the odds that i got this for my redragon k552 when you talked about it
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.
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.
I prefer G Skill for the aesthetics but HyperX for the premium quality due to PBT material. And HyperX keycaps are even cheaper.
Wish these were fully black on top just like the white version
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
The only problem with these is that they are ABS plastic. If they were PBT I'd buy them right now.
I'll just buy the white version of this to follow my white order peripherals setup
What glasses do you have? I've been trying to find a pair of good looking blue light glasses
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.

even the sound from pbt sound more fully less clicky ^^

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?
put this on a Womier K66 or a the K87
Just ordered these for my Pictek TKL.
The K552 isn't a dim keyboard. I have my brightness turned down to half way cause its too bright.
Would you recommend the black or white G skill caps for my Corsair K100?
Are these pbt keycaps or abs keycaps
"A cheaper keyboard" *proceeds to name my keyboard* ay:(
Hello, do you know if there will be a europe layout version? thank you, nice vid
Would these look good with the aukey km-g12?
You were the first to make a video on these
bro you linked the hyper x pudding key caps and not the G-Skill Crystal ones :)
These look cool, do they gather finger prints? Since they’re clear
Probably
If only The Razer Huntsman Elite had a standard bottom row. 😪
I have a Red dragon k552 keyboard.Should I buy the hyperX keycap or crytal crown keycap???
Would’ve been better if u could’ve done a compArison
So basicly if you want your keyboard to look like and rgb hologram and don't mind the abs and polycarbonate these are for you lol
what switches are you using in this video
I really wish that this works with corsair K95 but that damn corsair bottom row! :(
Di you think they will look nice with a corsair k100 rgb ?
Hello! Will these keycaps work on HyperX alloy origins core? Thanks!
Do you think the Kaihl box switches can destroy these?
I can't find any info, are these keycaps PBT or ABS?
ABS top, polycarbonate bottom :D.
I just ordered these! Do you know what material these are made from? Are they PBT?

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 it more grippy finish than the pudding ones?
Wow I'm blown away I wanna get it so bad man
I'm gonna order these right now amazing

Hey! Could you review the steel series 50$ keyboard? It is called the apex 3. It is membrane though
the sound is more scattered than the pudding ones
Do they sound more clicky or linear than normals?
Is this okay on a 96 percent keyboard ? Does it have the odd size shift on the right side of the 96 percent keyboard ?
Dude stole my grannies glasses

HyperX translucent is the way to go.

also delivery with the big ENTER ? key
as always, the light from the spacebar is terrible. They need to put 2 switches under there and not 1.
