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.
Thanks for the tip! I actually went and picked these up bc for $20... why not.
AND THEY ARE SURPRISINGLY GREAT SO FAR! Key surface area is slightly smaller that other kits in cherry/oem that I've used, but it's not a big deal. The ABS has a nice feel and I am looking forward to a bit more shine on them. FYI, I am switching from the domikey BoB SA kit that was on here.
I have these from another drop and love them. Still dreaming of getting these in white though. Haven't been able to find them so if anyone does or we can get a drop in white, that would be amazing. Only thing I hated was the solid spacebar. I replaced it with another drop pretty quick.
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
Why are these called "opaque"(a. Impenetrable by light; neither transparent nor translucent.) tops when the sides are clearly opaque and the tops are translucent(permitting light to pass through but diffusing it so that objects are not clearly visible)?

Finally got mine in the mail. Using with a Razer Hunstman elite. Anyone else have an issue where some of the keycaps seem a little too tight on the switches so theres resistance pushing down/ get stuck coming up?
I came here to mention that the word “opaque” is used (very) incorrectly in the product description, but it looks like that’s already been covered here.
Someone should probably fix that.
