Akko Novelty Keycaps Set, 9009 - Review

If you're a mechanical keyboard enthusiast, you know how important the keycaps are to the overall aesthetic and feel of the keyboard. That's why I was excited to try out the Akko Novelty Keycaps Set with a 9009 retro theme. After using these keycaps for a few weeks on my 65% layout keyboard, I can confidently say that they are worth the investment for those looking to customize their keyboard.

The 9009 Retro Theme of these keycaps is truly unique and adds a touch of industrial-chic style to any mechanical keyboard. The patterns featured on the keycaps are reminiscent of an old fashioned retro look, perfect for those who appreciate a classic feel and aesthetic. The keycaps themselves are made from PBT dye-sublimation, which is extremely durable and resistant to wear even for decades; the legends wouldn’t fade away easily comparing to conventional ABS keycaps.

What impressed me the most about these keycaps is the additional options for customization they provide for layouts. The set comes outfitted with 38 durable dye-subbed keys, including 1.75u shift keys specifically built for both 65% and 75% layouts, offering greater flexibility for customization. This allowed me to easily switch out my old keycaps and create a brand new look for my keyboard.

The keycaps come in a unique gift box with a keycap puller for easy installation. The box itself is a work of art and is a great way to store the keycaps if you decide to switch back to your old ones for a while. The keycap puller is especially helpful because it prevents any damage to the keycaps or keyboard during the installation process.

One thing to note is that these keycaps are only compatible with MX structure switches including but not limited to Cherry, Gateron, Akko, and Kailh etc. Large keys of non-standard layout & stabilizers may not be compatible.

In terms of performance, the Akko Novelty Keycaps Set with a 9009 Retro Theme worked great on my mechanical keyboard. I didn't experience any issues with the keys sticking or feeling unresponsive. These keycaps are a great way to customize the look and feel of your mechanical keyboard while maintaining a high level of performance.

Overall, I highly recommend the Akko Novelty Keycaps Set with a 9009 retro theme for anyone looking to customize their mechanical keyboard. The keycaps are made from durable materials and are easy to install with the included keycap puller. The unique industrial-chic design is sure to catch the eye of anyone who sees your keyboard. Despite being a bit expensive for keycaps, you can rest assured you're getting a quality product that will last for years.
