Matcha Keycaps - BEAUTIFUL keycap set unboxing and first look. Does it fit your keyboard?

[@maaarrlonn]

the amount of time and effort you put into such high quality videos is so underrated. love to see you grow on the platform brother.

[@MartinAaberge]

Thank you Marlon. I do my best to focus on quality and hope people enjoy the content :)

[@bananana3036]

I also have the matcha keycap set on my k3. What I did to make it somewhat look better is take out all the keys that use dark green (tab, caps, ctrl, etc), and use regular k3 caps so it somewhat looks uniform. Definitely not a good long term solution, but better than nothing if I want to spice it up.

[@MartinAaberge]

Yeah. That works. I took mine off now because I was tired of the lower backspace key. Now, they are back to the originals. Gotta get another keyboard to try out different keycaps

[@zero000000000]

This is really unfortunate. I was attracted to the low profile and K3 at first but the proprietary connector totally blew it. I ended up getting the K6. Wrist rest is a must but it is highly customizable which is great.

[@MartinAaberge]

I would also like to be able to use these switches, but so far it’s a weird hybrid 😂 I’ll get a couple of other ones and see how that feels as well.

[@JustSomeGuy009]

Years later but just an idea. 3D print tiny adapters that offset the stabilizer stems to center like a birmal keycap. Probably have to add a tiny adapter without offset for the switch so they are the same height.and those keys probably would be a tiny bit higher, but it should be doable with a cheap plastic adapter.

[@PotatoBreadYum]

i had the k3 low profile for a while and i thought i could put normal profile keycaps on it but i couldnt.. so i bought another keychron and now i can put the keycaps i want on them!! i really like the v1

[@randomkiwi6248]

You may be able to mod the key caps so they will fit on the stabilizers using a nail clipper or something and glue. That way there in the right position. You might get a bit of wobble but at least the space bar will be flat. As for the other keys you could make it they only connect at the switch again you may have wobble but you'll have a nice looking board. Great video by the way.

[@MartinAaberge]

Thanks. I feel modding it that much would just ruin the set. I think I’ll leave this one as it is and get another board :) a high profile one so I have more room to play ;)

[@Luca_GT_]

Will it work on a Akko v3 %75?

[@MartinAaberge]

Haven’t looked into all the keys for the akko v3 75, but looking at some pictures, I’d say they would. The keycaps are pretty default. It is the keychron low profile keyboards that have this strange offset on theirs :)

[@voiceyme23]

I really should have watched your video before getting the K3 and the exact same keycaps. they look really lovely, don’t they?

[@MartinAaberge]

Hi Ync. I love the look of these, yeah. Shame they don’t work on the k3. I’m getting another keyboard as well that is a bit more common

[@voiceyme23]

@@MartinAaberge i just saw another video uploaded a month ago, someone modified the keycaps instead. i probably do not need so many keyboards, so i’ll give it a shot 😂

[@MartinAaberge]

@@voiceyme23 one can never have too many keyboards?

[@antoniofilipe70]

Hello did you find some translucent key-caps compatible to this keyboard (K3 Pro) ? If Yes, where can I buy it? Thank you very much . Keep the very good work

[@MartinAaberge]

I have not found any translucent keycaps, no. Haven't been looking too hard. I did get the pro keycaps and added them to the non-pro K7 I have. They work well as well. It does change the feel of the keyboard and I haven't decided if it is for the better just yet ;)

[@muktadirkhan1981]

Can you replace the stabilisers? Are they a standard size? I am going to buy this board (there are no real low profile mac alternatives out there I could find, I have a K1already..) and try and figure out a solution to this non compatibility issue.. Love the quality of your video, its impressive to see a new channel at this quality :)

[@MartinAaberge]

I don’t know if you can replace them. They will at least not work out of the box. I think I have saw some videos where you could get them modded to fit normal keys. Thank you for your kind words on the content.

[@muktadirkhan1981]

@@MartinAaberge I just ordered one, I have a plan on how to mod the stabiliser locations to line them up... Replacing is not so easy as they are not standard size on first look but I will try that too...

[@MartinAaberge]

@@muktadirkhan1981 how did it go?

[@muktadirkhan1981]

@@MartinAaberge well, taking it apart was pretty easy, the Dremel tip filed away the casing on the stabilisers really well. The smaller keys are perfect but the spacebar is a bit wobbly, in use it's not a issue but it does have some lateral movement. I do think I can fix it but when I went to open it up again the back plate feels jammed - I don't want to risk damage to fix a small issue. I built one in the meantime, KBDfans low profile case with Tangerine switches, pretty low but I do prefer the height of the Keychron

[@majedmeeni5995]

very good quality video

[@MartinAaberge]

Thank you :)

[@kevinka99]

Do you know any keycaps that fit well in K3? I`m thinking in mod my keyboard too, I really like the k3 but not the low keycaps. Hope someday someone releases keycaps to our little keyboard.

[@kevinka99]

By the way, if you found some keycaps, please let us know! XD

[@MartinAaberge]

Absolutely. From their website, it doesn’t look like many caps fit. I’m going to keep looking, but I will also look for other keyboards where it fits

[@majedmeeni5995]

you can try to print with a 3d printer a adapter

[@MartinAaberge]

I’ve actually considered it 😂

[@mdamiralam3792]

You can try Nuphy Air 75. Unfortunately it’s not available in Australia. I have chosen K3V2

[@MartinAaberge]

Yeah. I think I’m done with low profile for now. I have this, and the magic keyboards. Next on my list is the PLANCK and I’m also building another 65% keyboard

[@IHack99]

can these keycaps fit redragon K617 fizz ?? pls ans, ty

[@celeste-is-building]

my keyword looks exactly the same but my key caps are pink. It’s beautiful to look but deep down I’m soooo sad that I can’t use the full set.

[@MartinAaberge]

I know. It’s a huge downer 😔

[@mariovarkas]

like your desk mat. where do you get it ?

[@MartinAaberge]

Hi Mario :) the desk mat is from DeltaHub and is hot pressed wool :) love it. Here is an affiliate link where you can pick it up: deltahub.io/?ref=MartinAaberge (If you use the link I’ll earn a small commission at no extra cost to you :))

[@coffeedudeguy]

@@MartinAaberge the link seems to go to the wrist pad instead of the desk mat, but thanks for the link!

[@MartinAaberge]

Ah. Sorry. But glad you found it :)

[@voob]

will this work with the rk61

[@MartinAaberge]

I Think they will. Most keyboards are laid out with normal stabs. The K3 and K7 have some custom ones ruining this setup :/

[@jumpingjumping7494]

It's not even just keychron's dumbass mistake, its literally so many other companies doing this same shit. I have no idea why keyboard companies dont make compatible sets.... so frustrating.

[@MartinAaberge]

But why? To sell their own keycaps? Super frustrating

[@mikhailkulin9776]

why did they do that to those 4 keys

[@MartinAaberge]

don’t know what they were thinking. It sure sucks

[@mentalmyoui1956]

can these fit well with the rk84? thanks a lot!

[@MartinAaberge]

from what I can see online, I think they will. The stabilizer seems to be placed normally

[@dontlistentome7498]

if only they were OEM

[@Skyl1ne32-f]

Full size keycaps in low profile keyboard… interesting…

[@MartinAaberge]

Yeah, it was fun to try. Now, I’m building a normal 65% to try it out properly :D

[@coderserabutan]

that's terrible lol

[@MartinAaberge]

Yeah, I wish the stabs weren't custom. Then again, using high profile caps on a low profile keyboard might be a bit of a stretch.
