Review on πŸ”‘ Razer Phantom Keycap Upgrade Set: Enhance Gaming Experience with Unique Stealth Design, Translucent Sides, & Lasered Legends - Universal Compatibility - Black by Shaun Bushey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Brought my old keyboard to life!

I have a Razer Blackwidow keyboard, one of the first that started with blue LEDs and before that switched to their own switches (also Cherry switches). For a long time she was my favorite of the time but lately it's been looking battered. Many keycaps are worn, discolored, dirty, and some large keys (shift, enter/return, spacebar, etc.) have broken stabilizers, or attachment points have degraded and become loose to the point where they simply balance. on stalks, and nothing keeps them in place or stable. I've been wanting to get a new keyboard, but the same one (the current model) costs about $120 these days. So I tried these caps. Got the old keys out, vacuumed and cleaned well, put in the new caps (plus new rods/stabilizers) and put in the new keys. It's like a brand new keyboard! The new caps appear to be of very high quality and look a little "upmarket" than previous caps. The only thing that worries me maybe is that the black color is more like a dark anthracite than a pure black. I don't mind, everything looks fine, but you may want to know. Unfortunately, there are no switches for the five macro keys on the left. I wasn't really expecting it either, so I'm not surprised, but it would be nice! In general I am very satisfied. It feels like my old dented keyboard is brand new again. I highly recommend!
