Review on πŸ’» Mistel Doubleshot PBT Keycaps: 108 Keys Plus Extra 11 Set for Cherry MX Switches & Clones, OEM Profile, Black, PC Gaming Keyboard by Jessica Velasquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money

I bought these caps to replace the caps on my DROP Alt keyboard. PROS___ - Premium fit and finish. There are no lids with traces of mold and other things. Even fonts. They are near perfect. If I look closely at just a few caps I can see where the edges aren't perfect (seen on about 2 caps) - The texture is very nice. I like my caps with a gritty feel. The keycaps on the DROP board were actually TOO rough. It looks like they are covered with sandpaper. These are a little softer. They are very similar to the Leopold keycaps which are the best in the business in my opinion. The only difference is that this is an OEM profile and Leopold uses their own shorter SS2 profile. THICK. I measure 1.39-1.5 with a digital caliper. The sound profile is also very pleasant. Price. I think it's a wonderful value. I am happier with this $45 kit than my ePBT kit which I paid over $100 for. I will buy more especially if they offer more colors. CONS___- The colors offered are very limited. I'd like to see more than black, white and blue - Some of the caps didn't fit in the right rows. For example, the PgUp button, which is on the third row on this board, was made for the fifth row (it was too high). Options for them were to not match the height of their rows or to keep the original keycaps from the first set. I've decided to keep the old ones. I like the way some keys look like darker contrast keys. This was only a problem for Del, Home, PgUp and PgDn. I just left the rest to beauty. Finally, it is very surprising that there is no 1.25u Fn key. This is a VERY common cap that many kits require. I have 10 boards and almost every board has this key.

Pros
  • Good looking
Cons
  • Modern
