Hi UM Low Metal Keycaps

Hi UM is my solution to the “metal keycaps are cool but they might wreck your switches” problem. The caps are metal, but the stems are plastic, so you get the fun, premium feel without shaving down your switches. They’re also the only brand I’ve found that carries a low-profile metal keycap set, which is huge if that’s your style.

Pros

+Metal keycap feel with plastic stems to protect switches
+Low-profile metal keycap option available
+A unique way to change the flavor of typing

Cons

-Sound and feel are highly preference-based
-Sourcing/availability can vary since it’s from AliExpress
