  Verified purchase

  I have installed the keys on the RK61 keyboard (not all of them as it is 60%), with vertex v one switches, for a few days now. Before that, I had the default ABS keys from the company (also double shot). The package contains a total of 150 keys and they are compatible with every category of keyboards (including keys for non-standard R1 lines), as well as some stickers from the company :). I applied them easily and I have the following impressions, most of which refer to general differences between PBT and ABS keys:
  Firstly, the typing sensation is definitely better, while the sound produced during typing is slightly deeper. Also, they do not smudge and shine as easily as ABS keys (a basic characteristic of PBT keys), which is particularly important for those who have sweaty hands (or eat lunch and type at the same time) (definitely not me). I have noticed one or two times that some black keys have gotten dirty, the enter key and left shift, but it quickly went away by simply cleaning it with my finger for 1 second. Additional things that I love about these keys are their price and their font (personal preference). The only thing I can mention as a negative is that they do not allow RGB lighting to easily pass through, which personally doesn't bother me, but if someone wants their RGB to look cooler with PBT keys, I recommend looking for pudding keycaps.
  In conclusion, I have nothing to complain about, we are talking about relatively cheap PBT keys with a nice typing sensation and sturdy construction. They are definitely not the best keys on the market, however, for their price, I consider them to be an excellent value for money, especially for those who are not interested in RGB and just want simple, minimalist, black and white keys.
  P.S. For an even better typing sensation, I recommend applying some layers of tape on the spacebar, as indicated in the photo below. I think I put around 6 layers on each side. This leads to a drastic change in the sound of the bar, making it sound much deeper. I am also sending a related video (where I haven't stabilized the bar and it can be heard).
