Mistels are some of the finest caps, and the best deal in the keyboard hobby. Great service, too!
I'm extremely picky about my keycaps. Leopold is well known for their exceptional, fully double shot masterpieces. Like many, I bought a Leopold board to eventually harvest the caps, since that still costs less than premium keycap sets of similar quality. These Mistels are the first keycaps I've found that scratch that same itch.They are fantastic. The legends are perfect, the feel of the soft pbt is supple and simply enjoyable to rub. Sensitive fingers will be rewarded. I measured 1.39mm, compared to the Leopold's 1.44. That doesn't sound like a big difference, but the slightly lighter Mistel provides the same sound and feel, while allowing more of a premium switch's personality shine through.The set comes with everything you need for several different setups (see the gallery, one reviewer posted the full tray). Mistel makes a split 75%, a tkl, and a full size, so this set includes all caps for those setups, and most 96% keyboards with a normal + and 0 . It even has my favorite: a stepped caps lock. Mac users may want something more, but Windows users will only miss the menu key.No offense to the other sets at this price, but you won't find anything near this quality in this range. Since Mistel makes keyboards, they can sell this as an affordable alternative to their stock colorways. I think it's incredibly smart to sell these seperately at such an accessible price. The quality of this $45 purchase already has me looking at one of their keyboards.Edit: What you just read was my review of their classic black. Since then, Mistel has released their stock colorway Glaze Blue, which I purchased immediately. These keys are excellent, and look even better than pictures. I didn't appreciate the Glaze name until I saw them in sunlight. The blue has understated depth and subtlety, almost layered. I was concerned that the colors could stand out too much, but they're less saturated than online photos, and blend very nicely with anything on my desk. The space gray of my Drop Shift compliments it well, and the yellow undersides tone any lighting to accent the legends.Also, excellent customer service! According to Mistel, my Black set were an earlier production run. I later found the spacebar appeared 1mm too narrow for some of my keyboards, which caused slight binding before I lubed stabs (it was otherwise perfect, and worked in most of my kb's). Mistel immediately sent a new spacebar, explaining all sets are now from revised molds. Indeed, the spacebar in my blue set is noticeably updated underneath, and works perfectly. The keycaps themselves are just as flawless as before, and I no longer use my Leopold caps.Triple check everything on arrival. My blue set looked like the packaging might have popped open a little, and the 1.75u shift was missing. Both Amazon and the seller responded immediately, the replacement set is on the way, no questions asked.I'm not getting anything for raving about these keycaps, except the satisfaction of sharing a truly excellent product, and encouraging a business to continue offering a premium product at affordable prices. I hope Mistel continues with more colors. If I buy one more set, I will have three premium keycap sets for the price of one group buy set.

Nice split spacebars!
Got these for my Vortex Cypher; a nice 65% board I use at work, the which came with laser etched keycaps which had fading legends. I love my Cypher's split spacebars; I map the right space as a function key which I hold down while pressing other keys to trigger custom macros (putting my otherwise unused right thumb to work). Only thing I don't love about split spacebars is how hard it is to find replacement keycaps. This is one of the only sets with 3u and (super rare) 3.25u keycaps.Happily, it's also a well made set of keycaps, especially for the price. Both spacebars grip the stabilizers properly and don't rattle. It has the weird short shift key and everything else you need for a 65% keyboard, and probably any other config. I didn't see any keys with warping, even the standard long spacebar which a lot of reviewers said was warped (so Mistel may have fixed that issue). The legends are all crisp and sharp, and I love the simple look of the white on black. There is a bit of variation in the boldness and size of some legends (e.g., the square bracket symbols are bolder than the pipe/backslash symbols next to them, the "$" is kind of big, ect.), but it's not that noticeable. The only real build quality issue I saw that other reviewers noted was that you can scratch the surface of the keycaps with a fingernail and leave marks that are slightly shiny from some angles. I don't really have nails but I imagine that over time they will all pick up some of these scratches from normal use. These scratches don't obscure the legends so I don't consider it a serious issue at this price point. (You could probably also buff out the faint scratches with very fine grit sandpaper, if they really bother you). They keycaps are thick; about the same thickness as my Cypher's stock caps. They did seem slightly louder when they bottom out than my stock caps, although it wasn't an unpleasant sound (and I use O rings to prevent bottoming out of courtesy for my office mates anyway).All in all, a nice, affordable option for sprucing up the look of your board, and one of the only options for a split spacebar config.

Not bad
These are solid budget caps, with some flaws. They're not perfect, but they're a good value.I ordered two sets. One of the two had a warped spacebar and I had to contact their customer service to have it replaced. They were fantastic and got it done without any hassles. On that alone, I recommend the brand.The caps themselves feel nice, if a little lighter than I anticipated. They look fantastic. They're easy to read, even in the dark. I bought these specifically to ditch Drop's caps that are nearly blank without RGB on. For this purpose, they got the job done.The drawback of these caps is the consistency and quality, especially on the larger keys. They are somewhat warped or just ever so slightly off. This caused a space bar to stay stuck when pressed, hence having it replaced, but the other stabilized keys tend to make a strange, subtle click sound when tapped but not pressed. This was annoying enough for me to go back to the drop caps, but probably won't bother most people.You get what you pay for. In this case, you didn't pay a ton, but it's a good value. For the average person, as long as their space bar is okay, this is a solid set of caps.

Insane value
I've owned many sets of keycaps at many different price points. I was in the market for some clean white caps and came across these. Doubleshot PBT keycaps at this price seemed very good so i just took a chance and bought them. These are actually the highest quality caps i own. They feel and sound fantastic and at this price point it really is amazing. If your looking for some clean Cherry profile caps there is literally no better choice!

Excellent quality Doubleshot PBT
I own keycaps from other brands, these are up there with the best with build quality. The font is nice and these seems to be the only option I've seen for 3u & 3.25u spacebars

Look great, but lack quality control.
Keycaps look great. Nice finish on the double shot PBT. Legends are okay too with some minor imperfections. But the biggest downfall for me was the fact that the spacebar stabiliser cut outs were not tight enough to hold onto my stabilisers. My custom keyboard has had no problem with any other spacebar besides this one. I just wanted a WOB keycap set and these looked great until this problem occurred. returning for a refund.
