Hey guys major correction to the video as I based it off of old knowledge: Xiami doesn't seem to be offering their keycaps on taobao anymore but instead are on Aliexpress for roughly $60/set. More expensive, but shipping is wayyy cheaper and this makes them more accessible. Still worth it for the price imo! Link is in the description!

Fun fact - NicePBT actually uses the same base keycap as Xiami, so they sound and feel pretty much the same. BUT they just have different dyesub and colors (which is still pretty nice).

GMK is always my go to Keycaps because of the typing feeling experience, specially the acoustic sound profile that i really really like. Once you own a GMK set it is hard to change specifically if the sound is your top priority.

I just discovered these a few days ago! Thank you for the review! Similarly, I love GMK, have like 30 GMK sets. Don't really like the finish on DMK, prefer JTK over DMK for triple shots as JTK uses regular spacebars and not whatever the hell the DMK ones are (they always look bent in pics). Going to pick a few of these sets up! Have been dying for a good dye sub PBT set and these might be it!

i think that xiami gives a more poppy/clacky sound cause of the thickness and would run good with more hollow boards to kinda negate the hollowness with the thickness of the keycaps. I also don''t get why gmk asks so much money for thinner keycaps that look in some cases even worse and in most cases as good as the xiami ones (although there aren't many diff versions of the xiami keycaps).
@AnzelLmao

if you ever try gmk in person you'll notice the difference in quality right away! Also thickness =/= quality. But if you prefer the sound of the xiami, definitely pick them up! They're worth it for that!

yeah. its competition i guess. but there is a reason whyt those other sets are so much less expensive. the quality is not the same amongst them. buy what you want, but there is a reason that gmk is a year and a half behind and why more and more sets get put into the queue.

Yes! Quality is still fine lol. Spacebars are def more prevalent these days but bar that GMK is still the gold standard. The loudest voices that always complain about GMK are far more of a minority than r/mk would lead you to believe. Again, the only issue right now is spacebars, and not only is it not that common but it’s something that can be easily remedied by contacting your vendor and requesting a replacement.
