Review

The KiiBOOM x Ydmochi Sweet Dango keycaps are a fantastic upgrade to any aesthetic. These high quality caps are not only adorable, they are comfortably functional. If you are aiming for a minimalist setup and are a fan of mochi, you need to do yourself a favor and buy this set.

Quality

I have yet to get bad quality products from KiiBOOM. Even the keyboard that my mailman clearly played soccer worked with minimal tinkering. If you are looking for a quality budget option for your next keyboard, you can’t go wrong with KiiBOOM. If you are looking for cute keycaps to change up your aesthetic, KiiBOOM is the way.

The Ydmochi caps are machined and dyed with the KiiBOOM quality I am familiar with. The keycaps are clean and the printing is high quality. These are not smudging or fading any time soon. Most importantly, they fit the switches perfectly. With cheaper keycaps, you risk them not fitting right or staying on properly, but I am not worried. These feel like they will last me a long time, but you might change them out for one of the other cute sets. The Doughfluff keycaps are personal favorite.

Comfort

The Ydmochi keycaps are as soft as they look. I have used cheap keycaps that feel like they cut at you with every keypress, but Ydmochi feels like you’re pressing on gummy candy. The contoured designed allows for the ideal motion to avoid any strain from prolongued use. They didn’t trigger my repetitive stress injury, but note that I also have a very ergonomic position for my keyboards.

Design

I am a huge fan of the set’s minimilistic design. The font used for the keys are fun without being detracting, and the pictures are so cute. I like that I have a few options for customization so I can make the keyboard at least a little more unique. If you like mochi and want to keep your aesthetic clean and simple, these are a fantastic set of keycaps.

Conclusion

If you are looking for keycaps, KiiBOOM has a fantastic selection of cute, high quality keycaps to upgrade any aesthetic. If you are looking for minimilist that wants a splash of color, you have to get the Ydmochi keycaps. You can pick up your set on the official KiiBOOM store or on Amazon through my affiliate link.

Each key features a unique desert themed design printed into a high quality key cap. The set comes with 141 keys compatible with Cherry MX and most MX-style switches.

With 141 key caps, users can upgrade anything from the most compact 60% keyboard, to the largest full sized key board. It doesn’t have to match (Mine doesn’t), but it might be better if it does. They high quality build means you can enjoy your adorable new keycaps no matter the workload.

Review

I used these keycaps to upgrade a cheap mechanical keyboard I had laying around. There was nothing wrong with the keyboard and felt it was the best way to test the quality of the KiiBOOM keycaps. I did not understand how cheap the original keyboard until I upgraded to the KiiBOOM components.

The KiiBOOM Dough Fluff Keycap Set are not only an adorable set with fun flavor, they are high quality keycaps that are ready to take on any workload. I was impressed by how well crafted each cap is. I love the design of each key, and appreciate how high quality the printing is. It definitely feels like the design isn’t fading any time soon. My only complaint is that the keycaps don’t match the keyboard I put them into, but that is more my fault than KiiBOOMs.

What I like the most is how the design feels. The keycaps feel and look like marshmallows which not only adds immersion to the theme, but makes typing a delight. I never thought keycaps made much of a difference in a build, but the Dough Fluff set proved me wrong. I am very excited to check out the other caps in my collection!

If you’re looking for a cute and fun keycap set to liven up your setup, the KiiBOOM Dough Fluff set is a great place to start. Whether you are starting a new build, updating an old one, or upgrading a cheap one, the KiiBOOM Dough Fluff keycaps will not disappoint.

Features

KiiBOOM’s Jade75 is the prettiest keyboard you can through on your table. The soft resin body gives it its cozy aesthetic, and the soft RBG that glows through its opaque body give it the perfect amount of flare. The keyboard comes in two colors, clear and white. (The main difference is that white looks like marble).

White

The Jade75 is a 75% keyboard with 80 keys supported by the KiiBOOM crystal switches. The featured keycaps have a MDA profile for a taller more comfortable feel. Most importantly, the tray mounted disign give the keyboard its satisfying tacking sound. Couple this with the resin feel of the keys and the perfect typing angle, and you have a keyboard that not only looks good, but is a delight to use.

The Jade75 is also here to play with a 3750 mAh battery to support its wireless Bluetooth 5.0 and wireless 2.4Ghz connections. But the keyboard is ready to support its users with a 1000hz polling rate wired connection when the keyboard eventually dies.

Review

The KiiBOOM Jade75 is the most aesthetically unique keyboard to hit the market. Users will appreciate the keyboards soft appearance, but remain impressed with the high quality resin build. The keyboard is sturdy and very well machined, with keys that are clearly printed for a very premium looking keyboard. The keycaps feel fantastic. The soft profile make the keyboard fun to use. Turning on the keyboard brings it to life without turning the desk into a rave. The soft rgb profiles against the resin body remind me of a jellyfish.

Connecting the device is simple, and switching between devices is seamless. I typically switch between different connections and it is nice to have that efficiency, even if it only saves me seconds. Each connection felt speedy, and there was no ghosting. It was able to handle a lot of my GW2 gameplay very easily, but I can’t speak on how competitive it can be.

Most importantly, the Jade75 doesn’t sacrifice comfort for aesthetics. The typing angle fit my frame, the keys had a solid spread, and the switches were soft. I wouldn’t say it is an ergonomic keyboard, but I was get a good amount of work in before my hands started hurting from previous injuries. If you use a keyboard a normal healthy amount and don’t require special ergonomics, comfort shouldn’t be a problem.

If you like the look of the Jade75, it looks a lot better in person and it will handle most workloads. You can pick one up from the official KiiBOOM shop, or on Amazon through my affiliate link.
