hey everyone this is Steve from gamers
Nexus time and today we're looking at
visa thermaltake TT eSports metal T
chops which if you look at the branding
here metal is definitely done with its
so metal in mind that's what we're
looking at with these key caps today so
this is actually a legitimate metal it
is a zinc alloy key cap for your
mechanical keyboard will work with
cherry and kale switches as manufactured
by Thermaltake and really any kale or
cherry switch keyboard will work because
they're all effectively the same cable
is a very good Chinese replica of cherry
and they're both that plus size switch
cap so it will fit on all of those these
caps because they're metal they are a
bit thicker and they will rest a little
bit higher than the rest of your key
caps on your board this is potentially
good or bad it might be bad if you're
more of a typist but it's awesome if
you're a gamer because you never really
lose those keys not that you lose WASD
anyway but they're kind of they're
elevated a little higher they feel super
solid when you push down on they're not
dance my g7 10 plus I'm pointing to my
keyboard as if you can see it but g7 10
plus is damped so the keys feel a lot
quieter first of all and a little bit
cheaper the plastic key caps definitely
feel cheaper than these metal ones that
we received from thermal tape now the
thing with this is these are $20 that is
a lot of money for five key caps WASD
plus one extra which technically they
say it's for escape I thought that was
super lame so I put it on number one as
in primary weapon in csgo so 20 bucks
for five key caps feels a bit steep as a
consumer I don't know that I would
personally buy it if it was not sent to
me for review but that's the price you
really got to just make the decision how
much do you want to bling out your
keyboard what is that where it's just
like anything else that's almost
entirely aesthetic how much do you
really want to pay to look cooler than
everyone else and also does it actually
look cooler or do you look like the
scrub in the room because metal totally
makes you run faster so that is the the
product here these are called metal
apps by tte sports I found them to be a
bit more solid when gaming the elevated
height is kind of cool when gaming but
definitely undesirable when typing very
long documents I would not recommend it
for typist they do sell a 36 or whatever
a key cap count for those of you who do
want it on all of your base keys and
that I believe runs out about $70 so a
little expensive but better value in
terms of the quantity and you can deck
out your whole keyboard with it now one
other option I want to mention here is
you can buy all kinds of key caps for
your boards including the very cool key
caps that are game specific like dota or
csgo now most of these are not licensed
but you can find them on Etsy or on
banggood I think is one website that
sells yes
no key caps despite the name sounded
like a different type of website I would
recommend looking into those if you want
something very specific to your game if
you want something that just looks cool
and it's kind of versatile for all games
and it's metal these have that solid
feel they click really nicely they
definitely they feel good when you push
them down so I would recommend that
investigating it $20 totally up to you I
gotta let you guys decide on that I will
see you all next time peace
