00:00Ok, so if your keyboard lights up like a Christmas tree but you still can't read a single legend
00:04at night, this video is for you. I went down a serious rabbit hole this week hunting for the
00:09best PBT side engraved keycaps out there, the ones where the letters glow from the side instead of
00:14getting washed out on top, and I found 5 sets that are genuinely worth your money. Let's get into it.
00:20First up is the 2025 Daylight Cherry Keycap Set, translucent, gradient colored,
00:26with side engraving that just looks incredible when your RGB is running.
00:30This is PBT, so you're not getting that greasy shine after 2 months of gaming,
00:34and the cherry profile means it's low, comfortable, and familiar right out of the box.
00:39At around $14.21, with over 4,600 sets already sold and a solid 4.5 rating,
00:46this is honestly the easiest entry point into side-lit keycaps I've found.
00:50If you're upgrading a stock board for the first time, start here.
00:54Next is the 2026 Super Contour Side Glow Set, and this one is my personal value pick.
01:01It's original factory height, so it drops straight onto 61, 68, 75, 84, or 87 key layouts without you
01:08having to hunt for weird kid compatibility. The contour lettering looks clean and minimal in
01:14daylight, then the side glow kicks in and it's a completely different keyboard at night.
01:19$11.54
01:2111 bucks
01:22And it's sitting on a perfect 5-star rating with over 4,500 sold.
01:28That's ridiculous for a full PBT set.
01:31Third, we've got the 129-key Cyberpunk set, and this is the one I'd actually put on my own daily
01:37driver. 129 keys means you've got coverage for basically any layout you throw at it,
01:43including mooting boards, which is a nice touch if you're on one of those analog keyboards.
01:48Cherry profile, translucent PBT, side-engraved with that sharp Cyberpunk styling.
01:54It's $23.95, so it's the priciest on this list, but you're getting a complete kit with a perfect
02:005-star rating. By once, use it on every board you own.
02:05Fourth is the 97-key white contour line set, and if the Cyberpunk stuff is too loud for you,
02:10this is your answer. It's double-shot PBT'd meaning the legends are physically molded in,
02:15they will never fade, with translucent side-lit walls and that clean white contour line aesthetic.
02:20Honestly, it looks like something that shipped with a $200 custom board.
02:26$13.65, 4.7 rating, over $4,300 sold.
02:31For a minimal, professional setup that still blows at night, this is the move.
02:37And rounding out the list is the second version of that Cyberpunk 129-key set at $22.99,
02:43basically the same killer package for about a dollar less.
02:46Same cherry profile, same translucent PBT, same side-engraving, same wooding compatibility,
02:524.7 rating with over $4,200 sold. So here's my honest advice, check both listings before you buy,
02:59because the pricing and colorways shift around, and there's no reason to pay extra for the identical
03:04set. Grab whichever one's cheaper on the day. Alright, that's the list all 5 links are sitting
03:11in the description below, so go check current pricing before these deals disappear.

03:19because I'm testing new keycap sets in keyboard gear every single week.
03:23Thanks for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one.
