I am so happy I waited to get these. I’m a big fan of the pudding caps so when I saw these I just had to have a set. I enjoy them a lot more than I thought I would! Everglide aqua king switches make the lighting shine through insanely!
my build is a gmmk pro with polycarbonate plate, everglide aqua king switches, durock v2 stabs, and the artifact bloom glow keycaps. Glorious aura space bar really compliments this set of caps, IMO!
I absolutely love the look and feel of these keycaps. I'm using them on an NK65 entry (fire), and the south-facing LEDs work perfectly with the side-lit lettering. I had been looking for side-lit keycaps, but could not find any sets that had the right sizes for the NK65 - this one fit perfectly and looks unique.
Does a fantastic job showing off RGB - the picture doesn't do it justice. Very much worth their price.
Wasn't sure how these would look with north facing LEDs, but I'm happy with this set of keycaps. Love the effect of the shine-through tops, especially in the dark. Nice upgrade to the factory keycaps that come with the Drop CTRL v2.
Recommended with South facing LEDs and clear switch bodies
The lighting effect is of course, a matter of taste... what I can say objectively is that the illumination of the keycap tops is good, but not 100% even, as can be seen in the pic... considering though that the switch bodies (Cherry MX Brown RGB with clear tops) are in the way, the diffusion is fairly effective. This keyboard (Ducky Tinker) has South facing LEDs so the side legends are well illuminated. I would certainly recommend clear switch bodies and South facing LEDs for these caps, as illumination of the legends would probably be limited with North facing LEDs, and opaque switch bodies would cast too much shadow on the tops, which are unevenly lit even with clear "RGB" switch bodies.
These keycaps are visually appealing and provide a satisfying tactile experience.
The translucency of the keycaps allows for effective illumination.
I have been utilizing this set for a year without encountering any issues. I wholeheartedly endorse them.
Best shine-through keycaps for south-facing LEDs. Compatible with Keychron K8 Pro.
I am happy these keycaps are compatible with my keyboard, Keychron K8 Pro. The product came what I expected so there are no surprises. It was easy to replace keycaps on my keyboard and have a good experience typing with it.
I don't feel the cheap or tacky quality while using it. I like how it shines though the south-facing LEDs that I can see the letters clearly even at low-brightness level. I love how the keycaps glow at the dark. It was cool seeing the transformation from plain white-facing keycaps to raving lights in the dark.
The light gradient is from south and then diffusing upwards since it's south-facing LEDs. Gateron brown switches are used on my keyboard but I think the glow would have been better with fully transparent switches such as Gateron North Pole. This is something to keep in mind if you're willing to change switches for the better glow.
I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because I would like to see WIN keycap instead of CODE. I used random keycaps to replace the Keychron keycaps, Cortana and RGB Mode (two on the extreme top right). I think it would be a cool idea if there are keycap options with pictorial symbols such as volume and brightness.
I am overall satisfied with using this unique reverse pudding keycaps. If you have south-facing LEDs keyboard and are looking for shine-through keycaps, Artifact Bloom Glow keycaps is for you.
Stylish First-Time Build, an Experience I'll Cherish
Everything came as expected. Easy to apply. Nothing unexpected. I will say that there may be some combination of switches and keycaps that require testing to truly bring out the best in this board. But, they're a unique piece and worth having in a set.
For my first keyboard build, don't know that I could've done better. Except maybe if they had proper WIN keys instead of CODE keys, and a matching spacebar, but I'll take what I can get.
Still came out looking awesome.
