You're getting what you pay for
Don't buy these expecting GMK or some higher end keycap. These are cheap and they feel cheap but they look decent on a board and are a good placeholder keycap while you wait for your nicer keycaps to come in. These are DSA form factor meaning they are pretty short and all the key profiles are the same so I wouldn't recommend them for a low profile board or someone looking for more ergonomic keys.I mostly got these keys because they were a cheap option that had the 2U left shift I needed for my 60% build. Once some of the nicer keycaps from the group buys I'm in get to me then these will probably be relegated to a container in a drawer some where. But they are worth the price for the few months of use I'll get out of them.

Great deal, decent quality
This was the first keycap set I got for a new mechanical keyboard and it is still one of my favorites. My girlfriend won't give it back. I have since purchased 2 more more expensive cap sets (also DSA) (and some others which aren't DSA and thus irrelevant) and these I believe are quite a bit better than some more expensive DSA keycap sets. They are not as good as Signature Plastics (SP) keycaps sets, for example, but SP is also 2 or 3 times as expensive ($110+). They are quite a bit better than the other DSA keycap set I've tried which were $50+.The cap feels heavy, there's no light bleed through. The feeling of typing on it is nice; the grain on material of it is about perfect (I haven't tried something better, at least) in terms of providing the right amount of grip without feeling sticky; another DSA cap set I tried was far more slippery and caused my finger to slip off key onto neighboring key at times, with my typing style at least.Printing of legends isn't perfect and a tiny bit inconsistent (i.e. off-centering) -- this is probably my biggest gripe, but mostly willing to overlook it. They provide multiple keys for some buttons like PgDn, PgUp, and can choose the nicer looking one of the 2. It's not really noticeable enough on day to day basis unless visually examining it. Other sets I've seen (incl the $50+ one) have had worse printing.I like the colorway also. At first I chose this colorway since it was the only DSA colorway available around this price, however it has really grown on me and it's hard for me to change to others. It reminds me a lot of the keyboards you see if are at a hospital room and there's one of those devices/computers there on a cart for the nurses/drs.I haven't experienced the 'height difference' cited by another reviewer. When mounted, these DSA caps matched the height of the DSA caps I got from Signature Plastics (SP), who are the original manufacturers of the DSA profile. On the other hand, another $50+ DSA set I got had crossbars at top of cap which other DSA keycaps don't and was raised by about 2mm when mounted on box switches (or any switch with any 'enclosure' around the switch stem, such as outemu blues), I believe due to this.Ultimately am quite happy with this and think is the best DSA keycap set you can get in this price range.

Top-tier aesthetics, great feel, just a little small.
Good thickness and feel, interesting indent for F and J keys that's functional yet discrete, lovely PBT texture, and they look beautiful (always getting compliments on my "retro" keycaps). Only downside is the surface area for your fingers to type on is a bit small for my liking. Not going to return them, but I might look into XDA profile for my next set.

Great budget DSA keycaps
I replaced the PBTs on my Pok3r three with these + some 0.4mm dampeners because I needed better ergonomics for typing. The keycaps are solid (but you can tell the difference in quality between these and the original PBTs).Pros:- someone mentioned no nubs on F and J. True, while no nubs, the keys are slightly raised and have a deeper inset than the other keys in place of the nubs.- great, low profile. fit my cherry MX blues perfectly.- solid feeling keycapsCons:- printed letters a bit cartoonish for my taste but I can live with it- the printing is JUST slightly off-center if you look closely at some of the keycapsOverall, a good buy at just over $30 for the set.

Uneven, bad fit
I was redressing my Q6 and these keycaps didn’t fit evenly and kept sticking.

Pleasantly clean, minimal blanks.
If you're buying blank keycaps, you pretty much already know what you're getting yourself into. Matches my Capsule 65 perfectly; feels great to type on.Not sure if I'll keep this set on for the long haul, but it's a really cheap alternative if you're looking to give your board a clean, minimal aesthetic.

Great value for the price
Great value for the price. Is it perfectly cut? No. Are the tolerances tight? Not exactly, but they have a solid and great feel and I trust them to hold up for a while. They’re very thick and sturdy so that offsets the inconsistent heights and crooked cuts. It’s not noticeable enough for it to annoy you every time you use it, but if you’re examining up close you can tell that a few keys are just a bit off. For instance, my spacebar has a slight slope from the left to the right.Legends are very clear and the spherical caps help to avoid typos. The F and J are especially deep and I’ve loved it so far.

Indented keycaps
I bought these a couple days ago and just got them and two of them are indented more then the others you can really notice it unless you look very closely but besides that these keycaps look nice and feel nice to type on
