Hey guys, new guy here, just purchased myself a CM Quickfire Rapid after owning a Xarmour UB9l or whatever for a couple years and it going bad on me :/. Want to go for a black on black look on the CM Rapid and found this set online :

Would these caps fit the board or should I be looking for something different? Also, in general, what do you think about the quality of the caps I posted? I know Ducky is a pretty reputable brand, but how are these caps they made specifically? Thanks for any and all input, I appreciate it. :D

I'm sure they'll fit fine. Do note that from my experience, the keycaps on the cmstorm qfr has a slightly higher profile as compared to the other keycaps. So I think those may be a little lower by 1-2mm
-
Ducky and CM use the same OEM profile. Asides from one being pbt and the other abs they are probably made in same factory. The set is 100% compatible, nothing to worry about there.
-
Awesome, that is great news! Now are there any black on black keycaps that I should look at instead of these or are these recommended?
-
They are the exact same as the KBC ones, which is pretty much the only other 'option' so whichever has a better price. If you were interested in other colors there are some other options like the thick Cherry profile sets, but not with black currently.

Media function buttons wont line up, if you care. Personally I'd rather have no media icons than have ones on the wrong keys.
