I've been looking for a nice looking black on gray keycap set for a while. Missed out on GMK Dark restock, and don't really want to spend upwards of $350 for a base set.
This set definitely does the trick to fit that dark theme aesthetic and I highly recommend these to someone looking to fit that. The texture is slightly slippery, but it doesn't really bother me much. Haven't noticed any light bleeding through even when I turn my LEDs up as bright as they go.
Can see myself buying another set of these for one of my other keyboards as well.
Looks and sounds great, but difficult to read legends in low light
These are great, and I really like the way they look and sound. If you rely on reading the keycap legend, then you may struggle in low light, but for anyone who touch types they are a dream.
I bought this for rather silly reasons-- the Fn key on the set sold with Tokyo60 (add-on) was a Coral color, and I wanted a matching Fn. Firstly, this BoB set matches the Tokyo60 "black" keycaps perfectly. The only way in which it *doesn't* match, is that the modifiers text is centered vertically on Bloom, versus being top aligned on Tokyo60 set. But, being the low contrast of the BoB, and that this is only one key, I don't expect anyone but me will notice.
The remainder of the set is destined for the Ikki68 Aurora R2, when I receive that next year. The available keycaps remaining (less the 1u Fn key) are enough for me to play with any and all of the Aurora's many supported layout. I think the only exception will be the split spacebar layout, as this only ships with the 7u and standard single spacebars.
Will definitely consider other Bloom sets in different color ways, when and if I need a new set!
These are a really good value however they were not for me. They were just a bit too slick for me and I felt like my fingers were sliding on the keycaps more than normal. Love the cheap colorway though.
I had been looking for an all black keycap set and this one by far exceeded expectations. They feel and sound amazing, and are absolutely worth it for the price in my opinion.
Very happy with this set. The texture is fine and consistent, excellent casting and crisp legends. My only complaint is that I expected a bit darker key color based on the photos.
These are basically GMK Dark keycaps, just with a dramatically smaller price tag, better plastic (PBT!), and a smaller price tag. The legends are slightly different, but aside from the caps lock, I can’t imagine many complaints. They look great. Disregard the name, though. They’re 100% black on dark grey, not black on black. The Artifact Bloom series is an insanely good value for the quality.
