Perfect replacement for Cherry MX keycaps

I bought this kit to replace some of the worn keycaps on my Gigabyte Osmium Aivia keyboard which was released around 2013. The keyboard has separate blue LEDs under each one, so I needed keycaps that would let light shine through the characters. They also had to match Cherry MX keyboard switches. All in all, this kit from Razer was the perfect replacement. It took about 2 hours to replace almost all the keys on the keyboard. The only difficulty was getting some large keys that have key stabilizers underneath. I used a key puller tool which wasn't included and I think it made it easier to get the stabilizer bars in place than the plastic puller that came with it. The set includes several additional keys. Some of them are for options other than USD. The rest are alternate shapes for the Ctrl, Shift, Enter, and other keys, allowing for multiple different keymaps to be supported. Make sure yours is supported. My keyboard has 5 additional macro keys labeled G1-G5. There was nothing suitable in the kit so I had to leave my native caps on these buttons.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Crumpled
