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.
For Artifact Bloom Series Keycap Set, here is the compatibility sheet that the community can refer to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GVJGpOnsFsrvttZH7svNOsysRXONsG0-J9xZ2RsGs58/edit#gid=1094341307.
Quality: These keycaps are made to be very durable and thick. After taking in all the feedback in the mech keys community about keycaps of this nature, the Artifact Glow Keycap Set was made to match the standards of high-end pbt keycaps in mind. These keycaps are on average around 1.55 mm thick. Also, there were new molds created specifically so that this shine through keycap set covers a huge range of keyboard layouts—including full-size, tenkeyless, compact 1800, HHKB, 75%, 67%, and 60%.
Finally, adding an image below that provides more information on row numbers and keycap size.

Edit: Adding an image below from the page to show the quality and the thickness of the keycaps.
I find these keycaps to be pretty cool tbh (I got them in a mystery box), but I should definitely let everyone know that you can see the housing of the keycap when it gets lit up, which may be an issue for some. I expected it to be fully color but I can see the housing of the keycap, which is reasonable considering the top is essentially see-through.
The compatibility list states that these caps are not compatible with the Razer Blackwidow. Does anyone know why this is exactly? From a noob PoV, I don't see why they wouldn't work.

BigMoodGIraffeI can't say for certain but it's likely the spacebar width; a lot of gaming mechanical keyboards have 6u spacebars, or something other than the standard 6.25u or 7u that most keycap sets include.

BigMoodGIraffe(If it doesn't explicitly say they *won't* fit, it could also be that no one has tried them to see if they'll fit or not.)
Is this product actually going away? It currently says it has 5 hours left. My board came with keycaps and I would like to try them before I pull the trigger on these.
Just wanted to say that these are the only keycaps that I have found that actually have shine through LED for south facing switches (side lit), and also has appropriate sizing for most 65%/75% boards.
since these are laser etched, wouldnt it be super easy to offer them in iso with nordic layout, uk layout, german layout etc... basically all different layouts and legends since you can just laser etch the fitting legends and dont need a separate molds like with doubleshots??
need german iso layout please :D
