Great keycaps that turned my LoFree Flow 100 into something I can actually use in the dark!

Edit Feb 18,2025Bumping the rating up from 3 to 5. I tried the keycaps again on RK96 and the shine through is much better. Wish the keycaps were more transparent for better shine-through, but it’s good enough in the dark. Didn’t notice before, but the production description says it’s for north facing LED. Keycaps feels and sounds good, my typing flows better on PC, similar to my work laptop.I love the low profile shape and construction of the keycaps. Looks great on my Keychron Q5Pro, but the shine through feature was below my expectations. I can’t hardly see the lettering on the darker keys towards the bottom row, even with brightness on max setting. I though it as due to my switches, so I tried the Gateron Jupiter Red linear switches with no diffusion and got the same results. Maybe I got a bad batch or these keycaps were more designed for north facing LED.

As a gamer had no issue with normal keycaps in mechanical keyboard. However, for work needed something more comfortable. These keycaps has this plus more. Using old program for work I needed some keycaps that are not on 75 to 80% keyboard layouts. This had all keys I needed and as long as you are able to customise keyboard layout you can do anything with these 118 keycaps. They have very slight lights coming out through them making it perfect for night use. Not too bright but can still see them in dark room.I was able to fit all keys for my need even if some of them did not have exact size to match RK H81 keyboard.

I've gone down this rabbit hole recently of trying to find the perfect keyboard. I ended up really liking the Royal Kludge RK84 with mechanical blue switches (I am a heavy typist, programmer/IT pro) except for one thing... the keycaps were WAY WAY too tall. Instead of sending it back, I decided I would keep the keyboard and get a set of low profile keycaps. Enter these...They came really nicely packaged in a two-layer tray that was laid out like a keyboard would be. There were keys for anything I could imagine needing (different sized Alt/CTRL/Function keys for different keyboard layouts, etc.). The finish is matte with just a little bit of texture. Overall feel is 4/5 (I prefer the soft-touch feel of my keychrons a little better). I had no problems whatsoever installing these and the fit was perfect.My keyboard has north-facing LEDs so shine-through is adequate, although some of the larger legends (Caps/shift) aren't completely uniform. Not enough of an issue to bother me. Again, 4/5. There is no legend for media keys or any of the specific shortcut functions for my keyboard (of course). While I think this makes for a really nice, clean look, you're going to have to refer to your keyboard manual for anything other than standard use. I don't tend to use media keys, and I've memorized the important shortcut functions (like connecting my keyboard to a different device) so it isn't a big deal to me. YMMV.I'm a big fan of the profile and the typing experience is superb. Even though they sit a little higher on the key switches, you can see the huge difference in height in the pictures I provided. They have a nice wide crown with narrow shoulders that make it easy to get an accurate keypress without accidental activations. I did some objective measurements using the stock keycaps, these, and my Keychron K5 and K3 keyboards (both low-profile). These consistently produce the highest WPM and accuracy scores for me. Again, YMMV.Keyboards are extremely personal, but if you are looking for a low-profile keycap, I would absolutely recommend giving these a try. I only wish they came in more colors so I could customize a little bit (even if it did cost me an extra $20).

When I got my Keychron V5, I immediately switched out the keys as I did not enjoy the stock one. I thought I was happy with Cherry profile but when in a rush I kept making typos. I then started looking into low profile keyboards but decided to take a chance on low profile keycaps to start in case I didn't like it. Since I switched to these I've been making considerably less typos and mistypes. My jittery coffee fueled fingers have no longer trip on the keys. They sound really nice paired with Keychron's silent brown pro switches.I chose this set as they are nice shine through PBT's. They feel really good and are as pleasant to the ear as they are to the eye. My only gripe is that the shine through is barely noticeable on the black keys. They show up in pictures but in person the legends are barely legible. I love the set and am going to keep it, but am looking for a similar set with black keys with solid white legends. I reached out to the seller, who responded quickly, that they do not sell individual keys as they are manufactured as a set. I'll wait for their other variations to go on sale to swap these black keys.

Note about the photos: The keyboard looks darker when the LEDs are on, due to my camera's HDR. That photo is useful for showing how bright and uniform the LED shine, not the keyboard itself, which looks like how it looks in the photo of the LEDs off.For starters, I bought this to use with my Lofree Flow keyboard. As opposed to most low profile mechanical keyboards with a standard, non-ortholinear layout, the Lofree Flow uses Kailh low profile v2 switches. The product page doesn't explicitely mention the Kailh switches, but with the v2 switches having a + shaped stem, I figured they should work. For the most part, they do. They do have slightly longer stems, and add about 2 mm to the keyboard, which is significant for a keyboard designed to be thin. For the Lofree flow, it's an 11 % increase. Not great, but with it just being the stems, theoretically you could sand down the stems and regain that thinner profile.The keycaps don't change the sound profile of the keyboard in any significant way, which is great. The keyboard sounded great, and these keycaps don't ruin it. Maybe they sound a tad louder, but that's about it.That is with the exception of the space bar, which has some interference, causing a much louder, worse sound. I think it's a problem with the stabilizers, though none of the other stabilizers have this issue. You can remedy this by easing the space bar back a bit, or you could just continue to use your old space bar. The shape is a bit different, but not by much. Really, it's just a bit shorter. The white keycaps matches the white Lofree switches very well, and in my opinion, they keyboard still looks good with the black Lofree space bar, if you have that.I'm also not a huge fan of the grey keycaps. They're a warmer grey, which looks almost tan compared to the neutral grey of the aluminum case. Not a huge deal, but it's worth noting. The legends are also colored by the tone of the grey, making the white LEDs almost yellow. Whether you like this or not is a matter of taste, I kind of like it. It makes the LEDs more interesting, but it will likely cause issues with colored LEDs.The shape of the keycaps are different from the Lofree keycaps in subtle ways. They're angled more towards the top and are more concave. In my opinion, this makes the keys feel more distinct. The keycaps are also more textured than the Lofree keycaps, which is a matter of taste.I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetics. In my opinion, it's not just plain, but kind of generic. I bought to use it with my Lofree Flow, to give it led legends, for use in the dark, but it inadvertently makes the Lofree Flow look like a much cheaper keyboard, which is a shame. Still, the legends are big and readable, even with the backlight off, and they let a lot of light through.That is, with the exception of the backspace key, which the lighting of is a major disappointment. The LED doesn't spread out enough to cover all of "BACKSPACE", with it dimming at the A and E, and the B almost completely dark. Most shine through keycaps use an arrow to denote backspace, for this reason.In my opinion, these keycaps are decent, with some issues. For the price, I recommend them, but I'll also keep an eye out for better low profile keycaps to replace them with.

No sabía si a mí teclado le iba a quedar, pero valió totalmente la pena, quedan perfecto y no tuve que comprar otro teclado para tener las teclas así.
