Question - I know I am late. You say the Corsair keycaps don't fit the Apex - what about them doesn't fit? I was about to order some pink Corsair caps for my Apex TKL, but figured I would watch this video again and saw this comment. Will specific keys not fit or just not fit in general?
@@TheTechne So I have the Steelseries arctis 5 headset and I want the Hyperx cloud alpha s I was wondering which headset do you think is better and if I should keep my original headset or get the Hyperx headset.
I got an email from SteelSeries about these keycaps yesterday and I thought "Techne will make a video on these soon." you're fast with it! Lol I love it 😁
I'm fixing up my old K70 Silver, so it's pretty sweet that they add some extra keys so I can fit them on this old keyboard. Those letters on it look really nice. Big, but nice, not some weird font on there. I like these a lot.
Lol that's very unusual to see a company advertising keyboards from competing brands on the side of the box. Anyway, glad we finally have some officially compatible keycaps for the Apex Pro; I had tried Corsair's new PBT keycaps but they kept getting stuck on those LEDs, so I'll have to try these. I do wish they came in a plastic tray instead of a vacuum sealed bag so the replaced keycaps could be neatly repackaged, but that's a minor gripe.
me being a steel series fan boy wanted these for my apex pro but was on the fence about them, but after seeing your video im definitely about to get a set now thanks for the review
I never say ytubers act like they have 1 mil but your the first way that gets that compliment what I buy and it’s reviews by you I know exactly what I’m getting
The font on the PrismCaps looks SO much better than any other pudding keycap I've seen. The HKGaming and even HyperX have this janky looking broken up font. Steelseries' caps look vibrant and clean because of it.
I really hope SteelSeries is going to make non-pudding PBT keycaps. Personally I'm not a fan of an overdose of RGB, so normal PBT keycaps with shinethrough would be awesome.
I hope this as well. I own an Apex Pro myself and noticed that some of these prismcaps miss certain descriptors, such as the M1-M6 or sub-functionalities (brightness up - lower, etc) on the F9-F12 caps.
Same here, I think it's too much of the side spill lighting. I had hyperx alloy core, and it was so bright and didn't make much sense, as one wants to see the symbols and not extra spill
Finally some Double Shot PBT Pudding keycaps for a Nordic layout!! In White too 👀 HyperX was late to the party Might just buy these if I find them from sale
Just bought my first ever Mechanical (optical) keyboard, an apex 9 tkl, and i bought a lot of different keycaps to customize it. I bought the black Gskill pudding keycaps as I wanted totaly clear pudding keycaps (and at this point I don't worry if they are abs). But talking with someone that have steelseries pudding keycaps, and to mix some of that keycaps with the ones I already have, I'm thinking about buy some black pudding keycaps of Steelseries...watching this video and see that it comes with a Steelseries logo keycap convince me.
@Ella Smith I think a 60% is a really small form factor, and at this moment it doesn’t get more attention then the other 2 form factors in my opinion, besides that, it’s better the other 2 :)
Have you tested the black keys too? Does the lighting look as good as the white ones? A black keyboard with white keys looks very ugly but the lighting is beautiful
I always hear people complaining about the stock key caps on the apex pro but I only just found out you can replace them and it's making my decision so much harder 🙃 Was weighing up this, the hot swappable rog strix or a ducky. Thanks for making the choice even tougher lol
Hey techne, those are some nice keycaps. Great video. One question, will you review the beyerdynamic tygr 300r in the future(one of the best positional audio on headphones below 150$)?
Pretty sweet they fit the k63, I just picked up a K63 SE/ Iron Claw/ and lap board for $100 lightly used (really clean) for my couch set up. Did I say I like large mice 😅 Btw learned something new today, I never knew people flipped their space bar.
Hey Techne! Have been a big fan of your page for quite abit. I wanna ask does these keycaps have those specific sized keycaps that fit the ducky one 2 sf?
I've never liked the pudding style key caps. I went with Corsair's PBT Doubleshot Onyx Black key caps for my Apex Pro TKL (2023). They look great with all white LEDs.
I have the Ducky pudding caps on my Apex pro and I had to Dremel out the inside of a few keys so they fit the over the LEDs. Looks like these come from the same factory, the Duckys have the same little dimples. I prefer the Ducky font, but these are nice too. Better than having to use the Dremel.
Hey man would you please consider doing a video on some of the best gaming mouse pads ranked? Sort of how you do with your mice ranking videos. Anyways I appreciate your work keep it up!
Awesome vid BTW Techne! Would these fit the Logitech 512 Carbon with the brown switches? Want to replace the logitech keycaps and go for these. If not, any recommendations? Really want pudding PBT keycaps.
I just bought the Royal Kludge Pro Keyboard. Any suggestions for key caps that will shine through them better than the stock double shot key caps it comes with?
Bit of a steep price IMO... Over here (canada) the HyperX ones often go on sale for $29.99 while these are $39.99. 33% more expensive for a similar product is a bit hard for me to swallow...
hey The Techne.... im using apex m750 TKL keyboard right now.. and i broke my space bar button... here is what i want to ask you.. inside the box there is 3 space bar button right? is there any chance 2 of each size can fit in my apex m750 TKL keyboard or just one can fit? thanks and good luck with your channel... (sorry my bad english.. its my second language) :)
I have been wanting some pudding keycaps for my hyperx alloy origins core and I just wanted to know if you would recommend I get either the hyperx pudding caps or steelseries prismcaps.
Honestly, I really liked this video. It felt kind of random and like you were just dropping by for a second to talk tech. It definitely is a welcomed addition to my day to drag me away from my calculus studies.
@@TheTechne Could have fooled me! You went into AMAZING detail regarding the subtle differences of each brand & left no stone unturned. Legitimately A+ review content!
LMAO WOW, I've been looking to replace the crystal keycaps I have and the hyperX branding was killing me. When the best keycaps for my board was ACTUALLY made from the manufacturer LMAO. Thanks for this video!
these got greasy in a month or two and the stock ABS ones lasted longer. the top qwerty row is weirdly bad for it. I regularly use isopropyl alcohol based wipes on my keyboard and no good
They have a white apex 7 you just don’t get adjustable actuation switches I low key might get it just to have a white keyboard I already have the black pro
im sad that its not out yet for iso layouts. Techne pls tell steelseries that they have to update the keycaps to isos. or i may have to skip to the razer keycaps because i prefer thw font more than rgb
whats that weird sound when you press the spacebar? my apex pro is doing the same with the prism caps but it doesnt do it with the HyperX ones , its odd minute 6:10
how do they compare to the original ones by feel? i find the original keycaps for apex boards very slide-y when they wear out a bit after months, which isn't too great.
Just to be clear, I showed the Crrsair caps in the vid as an example of brands, but they don't fit the Apex.
The :O factor is missing in corsair
So can you list some Double shot pbt keycaps that aren't puddings please.

@@OntarioGuy430 If you just look at when he compares them at 4:20, you can see that the Corsair keycaps are much thicker, which makes them bigger.
Crrrrrr
I respect the fact that steelseries is willing to include the other companies names with their compatible products/keyboards
Yes exactly
Can i put those keycaps on my logitech g502 keyboard?
why wouldn't they? it means people who don't have steelseries keyboards can buy their products too (which makes them more money)
ye
Sure helped with my Roccat Vulcan 122 AIMO (except for the Spacebar and somewhat the right shift key)
Appreciate seeing these keycaps in action, as I was on the fence about buying them. Just snagged a black set for my SS Apex 7 board! 🧡💛💚

It is clear as day that this is a good UA-cam video. Really helped me decide on what I should get for my new keyboard
@J T i got the steelseries apex pro and i just got the hyper X keycaps, the prism ones were out of stock where i live

DUUUUUUUUUUDE, I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR REVIEW AND AS ALWAYS, YOU DIDN'T DISAPPOINT! MUCH LOVE BROTHER!
Yeeesssss! Someone finally made DS PBT caps with Nordic layout!
Mi amigo Techne! Always digging the uploads 🙌🏽
The second light you turned off made everything look dopeee
So cool that you not only reviewed the prismcaps, but that you compared them to many others, too! thank you!
Finally!!!!
Some proper pbt pudding keycaps that not only have non standard bottom row but have a uk layout also!
Is it just me but the studio with just that last light on is actually really nice
Good to tell scary stories series.
U think I should dim it down a bit?

Honestly, I think that these are better than the HyperX ones - they just seem more quality and the font is way better.
I might actually pick these up for my blackwidow elite
imo they're good and the font is iconic, but $30 is really stretching it for all the other options we have
Ordered mine as soon as I got the email from Steelseries, should be in tomorrow. I was hoping you'd done a video on them.
Many products recently by steelseries, let’s go!!!
A question, I would love to see a 65/75% apex pro, what do u think? 150 bucks and take my money
@Ella Smith I think a 60% is a really small form factor, and at this moment it doesn’t get more attention then the other 2 form factors in my opinion, besides that, it’s better the other 2 :)
And please make all os the switches omni point, not some random red switches too
@Ella Smith true
@@hex802 Why do you need the delete/page up/page down keys to be Omnipoints? It will increase the cost most likely
@@krypton9808 I feel like if you can use those amazing switches, should be in every key right? So u get the full potential and value of the keyboard
Have you tested the black keys too? Does the lighting look as good as the white ones? A black keyboard with white keys looks very ugly but the lighting is beautiful
Question. What key caps were you using before you put on the prism caps?
My setup is red and black too so these keys are pretty dope
Just ordered a set of the white ones for my ZSA Moonlander that's arriving soon thanks to the vaporwave-vibes shot at 7:57. Damn do they look good!
