Review on πŸ”‘ Razer Quartz Pink Doubleshot PBT Keycap Upgrade Set for Mechanical & Optical Keyboards: Compatible with Standard 104/105 US and UK Layouts by Jeff Hill

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice keycap upgrade

These keycaps are great for my Razer BlackWidow Elite (Razer Yellow Mechanical Switches), factory ABS keycaps are softer but also get sticky (not sticky but I can't think of another word a) from finger oil and sweat after about an hour of use, especially while playing. and your hands are always clean. These PBT keycaps don't have this issue, but there are a few other issues I've noticed. 1) Lighting improved but worsened. Special characters ($%^&) are highlighted on these keycaps compared to the numbers on the factory ABS keycaps. This should be standard, but is a welcome improvement. However, the amount of light that passes through the letters and numbers is dimmer than the ABS caps they replace and fuzzy by comparison. ABS caps always have clearer marks. 2) Installation was difficult, especially for keys with stabilizers. The included cap puller is flimsy plastic and doesn't always have a good grip on caps, so I used the much more convenient puller that came with my Keychron K1 v4 instead. Overall, it's definitely worth the hour I spent installing it. The price isn't bad either.

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
