The media could not be loaded. Do you have a low-profile Keychron K5 Max? Are you also frustrated Keychron never stocks the low-profile, shine-through keycaps for a keyboard with RGB back lighting, or just wanna customize? Have I got (almost) good news for you.I picked up the Gray set of these Womier caps simply wanting to have my backlit keyboard be back lit!The good:1. The small, *single post* key caps fit nicely.2. The key feel is very good and sound is similar.3. These are north lit caps and the K5 is a north lit keyboard, so the shine through works very well! See photos.4. They really give a full set of key caps, including options for the size and colors of different auxiliary keys, like different size and color return keys. Very nice.Some draw backs. These are not the fault of Womier, the Keychron caps are just different:1. The wider caps are the right size, but any secondary posts are slightly too long. They work but make an unsatisfying click when you type on them as a result. This might be fixable by very carefully cutting down the secondary posts a little, but I didn't try.2. The spacebar has a similar issue and does not sit or tap evenly as a result.3. Minor: These caps run parallel to the board surface. The stock ones run in a stair step pattern and as a result these are slightly thicker at the north side of each cap than stock. See side photo where the white keys are these and the orange and gray are stock keychron.That said, I just swapped most of them to enjoy the back lighting as I like to dim the lights at night. For now I left all the top row keys which had special secondary symbols, and I left most of the large caps stock (as shown) so they actuate smoothly.The result is satisfying enough! Again, they feel great and the shine through is quite good. Will see if the bigger caps being not totally level motivates me to try trimming the Womier stems a bit.Overall I feel Womier is redeeming my keyboard with this one.

I've gone down this rabbit hole recently of trying to find the perfect keyboard. I ended up really liking the Royal Kludge RK84 with mechanical blue switches (I am a heavy typist, programmer/IT pro) except for one thing... the keycaps were WAY WAY too tall. Instead of sending it back, I decided I would keep the keyboard and get a set of low profile keycaps. Enter these...They came really nicely packaged in a two-layer tray that was laid out like a keyboard would be. There were keys for anything I could imagine needing (different sized Alt/CTRL/Function keys for different keyboard layouts, etc.). The finish is matte with just a little bit of texture. Overall feel is 4/5 (I prefer the soft-touch feel of my keychrons a little better). I had no problems whatsoever installing these and the fit was perfect.My keyboard has north-facing LEDs so shine-through is adequate, although some of the larger legends (Caps/shift) aren't completely uniform. Not enough of an issue to bother me. Again, 4/5. There is no legend for media keys or any of the specific shortcut functions for my keyboard (of course). While I think this makes for a really nice, clean look, you're going to have to refer to your keyboard manual for anything other than standard use. I don't tend to use media keys, and I've memorized the important shortcut functions (like connecting my keyboard to a different device) so it isn't a big deal to me. YMMV.I'm a big fan of the profile and the typing experience is superb. Even though they sit a little higher on the key switches, you can see the huge difference in height in the pictures I provided. They have a nice wide crown with narrow shoulders that make it easy to get an accurate keypress without accidental activations. I did some objective measurements using the stock keycaps, these, and my Keychron K5 and K3 keyboards (both low-profile). These consistently produce the highest WPM and accuracy scores for me. Again, YMMV.Keyboards are extremely personal, but if you are looking for a low-profile keycap, I would absolutely recommend giving these a try. I only wish they came in more colors so I could customize a little bit (even if it did cost me an extra $20).
