The set is definitely darker than I thought it would be -- I think I was expecting more a British racing green. The pictures are honest, though - it is a lovely (dark) shade of green.
I bought the set to pair with a Mekanisk Urskog keyboard in their 'Ultraforest' shade. The caps were starting to feel a little too dark for my tastes, but when I tried them out on the Urskog: SO good.
Couldn't be happier with the results.
Great fonts on alphas and mods. Great sound. Wonderful color. Kitting to fit most boards.

It’s quite a bit darker than expected, but in a room with a good amount of light it looks nice. Late at night with the lights low, it’s more like a greenish black.
I do really wish they made Mac modifier keys for these sets, I’m currently using the black DCX set
So I'm new to the game. I thought it was normal to spend this much on caps. And to see that there are even more expensive ones is a shock.
I've had these for a while, and I was immediately disappointed with the color upon opening. Photos made it look lighter. But these are in fact a darker emerald. After a while I went back to my stock keycaps and eventually got some $20 clones on Amazon. I can't tell the difference with the drastic change in price.
I tried. This was honestly a disappointing experience. My first custom Keeb. I can't imagine doing a group buy, waiting months/years, spending hundreds, and for what? These prices make no sense.
And the quality argument? My work computers use keyboards that are from 2006. These caps should clean themselves for these prices.
To anyone who has a passion for this, I'm sorry if I've offended you. It's your money and no one should judge you for how you spend it. This was just the ramblings of a man that's out of touch I assume.
I love these keycaps. They’re obviously excellent quality — everything I’ve ever gotten from Drop, from desk mats to other keycap sets, has been professional grade. These keycaps are a deep, beautiful green. It’s definitely not as bright and poppy as a John Deere green or a Starbucks green. (Google “hex code #023020” — pretty close. Drop doesn’t release their color codes.)
I put these on a white Feker Alice98 with Dangkeebs Cookie Dough silent linear switches, and it’s perfection. The quietest and most comfortable keyboard I’ve ever built.
I’d love to buy these again in the garnet color.
Definitely recommend.
got these keycaps to match my green case, they're not only stunning to look at, but the feel and sound is so much better than average. They are made very well and you can definitely tell by the way they look and feel.
