145 SOYA Milk MDA Profile - Review

If you're someone who spends a lot of time typing or gaming on your mechanical keyboard, you know the importance of having keycaps that feel comfortable and responsive to the touch. Enter the YMDK 145 SOYA Milk MDA Profile Dye Sub Keycaps set.

First off, let's talk about what's in the package. You'll receive 145 keycaps - more than enough to swap out all of the standard keycaps on your TKL GK61 64 68 75 87 96 104 GMMK MX keyboard - and a handy keycap puller to assist you in the process. The keycaps themselves are made of durable PBT material and are around 1.55mm thick. They have a gaming-style look and feel, with a wider and more rounded MDA profile that is similar to the OEM profile, making it very comfortable for typing.

One thing to note about compatibility is that these keycaps work with most 61 64 68 75 84 87 96 104 108 Mx mechanical keyboards whose space is 6.25u, or 11.7cm. They will also work with MX mechanical keyboards that use 7u space, such as the NCR80 and HHKB mechanical keyboards (though not Topre switches). However, they are not compatible with Corsair, Razer, Logitech keyboards, or any new type keyboard that uses low profile switches.

Now, let's get into the details of the YMDK 145 SOYA Milk MDA Profile Dye Sub Keycaps. The dye-sublimation printing process used to create the legends on the keycaps ensures that the letters and symbols won't fade or wear off over time. This is especially important for gamers or typists who frequently use the same keys and don't want to have to guess which letter or symbol is where.

The MDA profile of these keycaps is what really sets them apart. As mentioned earlier, it's very close to the OEM profile and is optimized for typing comfort. The keycaps are wider and more rounded than other profiles, allowing your fingers to rest more comfortably on the keys as you type or game. This can be especially beneficial for those who experience hand fatigue after prolonged use.

The thickness of the keycaps is another important factor to consider. At 1.55mm, these keycaps are thicker than many standard keycaps. Thicker keycaps can sometimes lead to a more satisfying typing experience, as they provide additional weight and stability to individual keys. They are also less likely to wobble or rattle during intense typing or gaming sessions.

In terms of aesthetics, the YMDK 145 SOYA Milk MDA Profile Dye Sub Keycaps have a unique, eye-catching look. The white-on-pink colorway is bold and playful, making it a fun addition to any keyboard setup. The color scheme is also very versatile and can be paired with a variety of keyboard cases and styles.

As for the downsides, there are a few things to note. First, as mentioned earlier, compatibility can be an issue if you don't have a compatible MX mechanical keyboard. Additionally, some users have reported that the legends on the keycaps are a bit hard to read due to the color scheme. This may not be an issue for everyone, but it's worth keeping in mind if you frequently reference the legends as you type.

Overall, the YMDK 145 SOYA Milk MDA Profile Dye Sub Keycaps set is a great choice for those looking to upgrade their mechanical keyboard. The MDA profile, thick PBT material, and dye-sublimation printing process all contribute to an enhanced typing or gaming experience. Despite some potential compatibility and legibility issues, the playful color scheme and comfortable feel of these keycaps make them a worthwhile investment.
