X-keys Keycap Cherry MX Compatible (Pack of 10) (1x1, Gray)

I bought these keys to see if they would fit the Koolertron Single-Handed Programmable Mechanical Keyboard (model SMKD72-A). These keys are not made to fit this keyboard, yet they DID fit. I’m happy with the results and have already placed a follow up purchase for more. The quality of these keys isn’t anything special, but they function and seem solid as though they will not crack or break over time. Observe the pictures I’ve posted if you need more clarification.

I bought a Genovation CP24 off of eBay and was looking to customize the pad with the macros of my choosing. I was looking everywhere for custom keycaps and found these. I know these are for the competitors keypad, but they are so much more cost effective than Genovation's option. I was expecting something that was lower than the pre-existing keys and have a cheap feels to them, but no, these things it right in and are great. If I were to have any complaint, it would be that their (X-Keys) software doesn't let you customize the labels without one of their keypads connected. To circumvent this, I found a blank template and just added icons to it and printed that out. I would like if I could use the software to do this without the need for an actual keypad connected.

I purchased these keycaps to work on a MAX KEYBOARD Falcon-20 keypad, acting as a low-cost stream deck type of device, along with acting as the 10-key keypad missing from my recent keyboard upgrade (it's a 60% or whatever, so no keypad). These keys are designed to work on the Cherry MX keys, however while they work great, the overall shape is much different from your standard keys. There is much more surface area, and the keys are more akin to the chicklet-esque keys you get on a laptop... while giving the travel you'd get from a traditional keyboard. This provides a few interesting scenarios. First, Amazon notaes Sheerness as a feature - they are not very sheer. The plastic is pretty solid, and pretty opaque. If you use these in a keyboard with LED backlights it won't be particularly great at shining the light through (as with many other keys). I'd love a semi-transparent (in line with those early see-through game console and controller colors that took the late 90s and early 00's by storm) keycap. I tried drilling tiny holes, in the hope that the paper inserts would do good to diffuse the light... no, it didn't. It just made reading the labels harder. All well, you can't win 'em all! Ergonomics are alright. They're not terrible, but these keycaps definitely would feel better on a laptop rather than a standard keyboard. The larger top surface lends itself to larger labels, making it easier for custom graphics and writing on labels, but it throws off using the keys like normal; I've never found myself fumbling over a keypad when using it as a keypad than with these key caps - and I didn't experience this with the original keys that came with it. That said, they work PERFECTLY for my needs, whenever I stream, so I can't complain; I also don't use a 10-key much at home (at work... that's another story, but that's why I use a normal keyboard there!) so it's no big deal. As for gaming... your mileage may vary. Because the ergonomics aren't the best, this can result in a learning curve for using the keys for fast paced games - that might not be good for you if you need quick, twitchy-friendly action. Secondly, depending on how you label the buttons, if your keyboard has a backlight, it may not do anything for visibility, but if you're in a better lit room (and you use the white keycap inserts that I did), you can probably view the labels without any issue. Overall, they're good. They're great for utilitarian purposes, but the term "function over form" definitely rings in my head when using these. If you need traditional shaped keycaps, these are not for you. If you want a keycap that has a wider top surface area and lends itself for slightly nicer keycap inserts? These are for you.

Worked great for a custom macro keyboard I built!

Amazing caps, I wish they sold in bigger bulk quantities though!!!

I love the size of these relegendable keycaps. However, put the clear tops off and on a few times and a simple depress and quick flick off a key switch will send the keycap top flying. And that is even without a label inside/ underneath. Engineering/ manufacturing needs to be tweaked a bit more before these would be production ready in my environment.

It works perfectly with my project!

It's a nice flat keycap for a macro pad. Got tired of using random keys to represent f13+. I wish they came with inserts, but that's just on me for not having a printer.

Only 5 keycaps received in the 10 pack and the quality control is abysmal. Cheap inconsistantly printed plastic, squished and broken. In disbelief someone thought this was good enough to sell to someone and use on a keyboard. It's just pieces of junk plastic and totally unusable. Avoid these.
