Product Description

PBT plastic has long been considered the superior plastic when it comes to keycap selection. But while it tends to feel better, it doesn’t always support a keyboard’s backlighting Read More

Using these as my main gaming set on my TKL backlit black acrylic hall effect board - they have a really good, legible font for backlit keys, the moulding is clean, no jaggies, no sharp edges, and their translucency is good and even. As usual for backlit keys, the legends on the modifier keys are centre-justified, which isn't my preference, but that's where the lights are, so that's where the legends have to go. The longer legends, like for "Menu", "Home", "PgUp", "PgDn", "PrtSc", "ScrLk" and "Pause", and to a lesser extent "Ctrl", "F10", "F11" and "F12" have some corner dimming due to their length, but this is common to MX backlit keys, and isn't too noticeable unless you're looking. The PBT is smoother than the average ABS set, probably because you can expect it not to get any smoother with use. I find it very comfortable, personally, very slightly smoother than my other sets, but again you'd have to be checking for it very carefully to notice. The space bar has a series of dots on it, artfully spread out so the central light fades as the dots get further apart. Subtle and nice. I'd recommend these for doubleshot, backlit PBT black caps any day.

Great durable keycap set with good tactile feel and clean font, and allows light to shine through well. I purchased PBT doubleshot keycaps specifically because I was sick of "fingerprint shine" on my other key caps. Been using these vortex keycaps for almost a year and a half, and still have not developed any glaring fingerprint shine areas.

Great quality, shipping time was longer than other keyboard stuff i've bought off mass drop but that is too be expected for an entire set. Look nice an any keyboard with backlight, and the font is pretty nice. For those worried about getting them dirty, i've had mine for a while and unless you're REALLY unclean then you should only see some dust after a while. My only down side was one of the optional space bars was awkwardly shaped on one side but its hardly noticeable and doesn't impact and performance.

This Vortex Backlit PBT Keycap Set replaced the ABS keycaps on my Code 61, which were a little less weighty and had a gloss finish I wasn't crazy about. This set has a bit more mass and a textured finish which fit the bill for what I'd been looking for. Very satisfied.

A mac CMD key would have been awesome, also, there weren't the multimedia keys I was hoping for.

Great budget set for LED keyboards, but the Spacebars were warped

I opted to get a replacement set as the first set's spacebars were severely warped, but the replacement set was nearly identical. Was able to bend the spacebars so that they were level again afterwards.
