What customers say
These Akko Transparent ASA keycaps are highly praised for dramatically improving RGB lighting. Users find the transparency offers brilliant, uniform light diffusion, making setups look stunning, especially with south-facing LEDs. The high, spherical ASA profile delivers a comfortable typing experience, often preferred over similar high profiles. Quality is noted as excellent; the thick plastic feels durable, avoiding the thinness common in budget sets. The extensive 155 key set ensures broad compatibility across many custom layouts. While fingerprints show easily, this minor issue is overshadowed by the premium visual appeal and ergonomic feel. They successfully merge unique design with unparalleled lighting performance, representing great value.
Know before you buy
The ASA profile is a hybrid design that combines the sculpted, ergonomic shape of the classic Cherry profile with the taller height of the OEM profile. It offers a comfortable, familiar typing experience that feels slightly more substantial under the fingers than standard flat keycaps.
These keycaps feature a standard MX-style stem, making them compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use cross-shaped switches. With 155 keys included, the set is designed to fit a wide range of layouts, including full-size, TKL, and various compact configurations.
While the keycaps are transparent, they are not specifically designed as 'shine-through' keycaps for legends. The light will diffuse through the body of the keycap, creating a unique glow, but the characters themselves will not be illuminated.
PBT plastic is significantly more durable and resistant to the 'shine' that develops on ABS keycaps after heavy use. These keycaps maintain a textured, matte finish over time, ensuring they look and feel premium even after months of typing.
Yes, the 155-piece set is quite comprehensive and includes various sizes of modifier keys and spacebars to accommodate most non-standard bottom row layouts found on popular mechanical keyboards.
