Double Shot Keycaps 150 Keys MSA Profile ISO/ANSI Layout White Keycap Set for Cherry MX Switches Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

I wasn't sure what to expect after just trying PBT keycaps for the first time but I was both happy and surprised and these seemed to be a bit more of what I was looking for with my build. The colour looks great, it has just enough shine. They feel and look sturdy enough to last a fairly long time.I have them with silent cherry reds on a 80%, they feel and sound great.Value in terms of the market is great and these are worth a try if you feel stuck on what to try.

Solid set of key caps, really comfortable to use!

This keyset has an unusual 'MSA' profile that I hadn't heard of. I couldn't find much information about it so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did, because it's excellent and exactly what I was looking for.The height of the keys and the curve to the overall profile is very similar to the OEM profile of the keys originally fitted to my keyboard. As I replaced each key individually, it lined up with the OEM one next to it. Typing feels very similar to the stock keys, so if you are used to the OEM profile, this is a very natural upgrade.The main difference is in the shape of the keys under the typing surface. Where OEM keys are angular, and have straight sides which taper to a fairly square top, these are more curved and 'dumpy'. The top is slightly larger than OEM, with less squared-off corners and curved sides.The typing experience is very familiar, although I'm having to learn that the typing surface of each key is larger so it's slightly easier to hit an adjacent key. This should help me improve my technique, because unwanted keystrokes are not the fault of the keyboard!Visually, the keyboard looks a lot more 'full up'. The effect reminds me of the keyboards fitted to the computers controlling the robots in the car factory where I worked. It makes my budget keyboard look a lot more classy.The keys are double shot, with the typeface in an orangey-yellow which contrasts nicely with the black and red keys really nicely, and is a lot easier on the eye than white. They are not shine-through. The keys are very opaque, so the backlighting of my keyboard doesn't leak through, and glows under the keys in a discreet way that I like a lot.The font chosen is clear, although perhaps a little too 'tall'. It looks a lot like the font on the old 'greenscreen' terminal i had to use in one of my first jobs. I like the retro look of it.The red keys are more of a burgundy / wine red, which I prefer to the scarlet of my previous keyset.I have fitted my keyset to a UK ISO keyboard. If you want to do the same, be aware that you have to compromise a little.The keyset comes with the large <RETURN> key used on most UK keyboards, but it's not a 'UK Keyset'. It's a US layout keyset with keys for both ANSI and ISO formats. No UK-specific keys are supplied.This means that the 2 and 3 keys are marked with @ and # like a US keyboard. There isn't a ~# key to go next to the big <RETURN> key either. I don't use that key much, so I used a red one marked with a + which was spare and the correct profile. I've discovered that it's REALLY hard to find nice keysets with the full UK layout, so I don't let it bother me - I just use the US ones and remember three of the keys are labelled wrong. I've done it for years and it's really not a big deal.There are enough keys for a full-sized keyboard with numberpad. I use a 60% keyboard, so I used the rest of the keys on my Bluetooth Numberpad add-on. I really like the effect of having both keyboards matching. Naturally, you only get one <BACKSPACE> key, and it's on the main keyboard so I couldn't fit one to the numberpad.Interestingly, you do get quite a lot of extra keys - there are multiple <ESC>, <PG UP> and <PG DN> keys, and others, all with different profiles. Whether you have a 60%, TKL or full keyboard, you should be able to make a complete keyset with the correct profiles.I really like this keyset and I will definitely order more. If you are used to the OEM profile and want to improve the look and feel of a budget mechanical keyboard, these are a great option.
