Product Description
Made of silicone gel, this set of 104 keycaps offers a completely different typing experience—one you won’t get from traditional ABS and PBT plastic. For one thing, they’re slightly squishy to the touch Read More
Cool effect for keycaps, especially if you have clear LEDs like my magic force. Other then that it makes the typing feel mushy, all the keycaps have a different temperature to them, and they come off easily.
The rest of the reviews here seem to allude to the problems I have, but for them they seem to think the issues are non-terminal. For me, this product was dead on arrival due to the lack of rigidity in the key. The caps bend, and easily come off.
I don't see how keys that are unusable are any better than 1 star. It'd be zero if I could.
As a novelty item, they're cool. But you wouldn't ever actually use these. The entire point of a mechanical keyboard is the nice mechanical feeling, and these silicone keycaps destroy that.
I enjoyed them at first, but the silicone loses its initial rigidity after a while and I can't type on my keycaps anymore without making errors as a result of my fingers bending one cap into another, triggering multiple, unintentional keystrokes. Product could be vastly improved if either these guys or someone else figures out a particular polymer mixture that has the really nice, soft feel these keycaps have, but that maintains its rigidness over time. I'm sure it's not out of the realm of possibility for the caps to be made of a harder plastic and then coated in a layer of a softer polymer to simulate the sensation without the negatives.
Just because of the material I assume, but the keys do wobble and sometimes pop off. It's not really a big deal at all, just mush it back on. But I assume 99.99% of the populace, mech key fans or not, don't really expect to have their keys pop off while typing. The keys are really comfortable to type on, and quiet.
My biggest problem though is after about a year of use the silicone finish just kinda polishes itself and looks permanently greasy. It doesn't wear well at all.
The stem wobbling doesn't bother me as much as others because of how fidgety I am, but it's more apparent when my keycaps just easily get knocked off. One more thing to note is if you are someone who constantly has a cat in your lap, you're going to have to properly wash these at least twice a month to prevent them from getting "fuzzy" because, like most silicone, these are hair/dust magnets. A fan of the texture when they aren't fuzzy though.
key caps can wobble off axis of their stems and can stick as a result of the the loser fit on the stem allowing it wedge agains the keyswitch housing. Also, they seem to get way dirtier faster.
they feel nice.
I love these keycaps! Great to the touch and a unique look at never fails to impress!
Pros:
Very good at silencing keystrokes
Look awesome with backlit keyboards
Great if you can touchtype
Cons:
Get dirty relatively quickly and a PITA to clean
Spacebar was useless for me as it was not rigid enough for me to reliably press
Bad if you can't touchtype
Some of the most amazing keycaps that I've had... However the stems are a bit of a problem - either need to figure out something to put in them (small strips of paper or something like that) or glue switches to keycaps. If you put them on the keyboard that you put in your bag and use as on-the-go keyboard, expect half of the keycaps to fall off when you take it out.
Typing experience is smooth as hell though. I tried them with greens (clicky) and clear MXs (tactile) - the bumps and clicks feel really good. If you put them on a stationery keyboard - give them a shot for sure, typing experience is absolutely magical, especially given the price.
