Profile: An affordable and accessible alternative to GMK Skiidata, which you'd need to embark on a journey to attempt to acquire. Very smart move by Drop.
Colorway: Dignified colors. In real life it looks like peach orange on dark navy-gray. I love it!
NOTES
On a typical black frame, the difference between the cap color and the frame color is noticeable; this might dissuade someone who enjoys deep black keycaps on a matching black frame. Pay close attention to the preview pics.
Nice quality - thick keycap materials with clear legends
The keycaps are pleasant and smooth to the touch when typing, despite the textured surface. The caps also feel quite thick, so you get slightly deeper typing sounds compared to those with lower quality.
I scrutinised the doubleshot legends and they were all consistent and clear. Time will tell if the keycaps hold up to shine.
Overall, i think it was a good deal with the DKC voucher discounts i used during purchase. Will definitely consider other DCX keycaps from Drop.
I definitely was sleeping on DCX keycaps. Since I couldn't find a similar gmk set, I decided to give them a try for my orange theme keyboard. Compared to gmk, the kerning on the letters could be better. Its hardly noticeable when typing or gaming. They feel a bit smoother than gmk sets, and I do like the keycap profile, no problems switching from cherry to dcx. The amount of options for the price, make this a good set worth the money. I am excited to see the other dcx options that come out in the future, and maybe some options for icon mods. I will be looking out if these keycaps shine in the future.
was concerned i wouldnt like the material but it is pretty good. not as textured as my leopold caps but not totally smooth, which is good for me. love the colors—especially the dark graphite color against the black of the case with the orange highlights. also like the legends.
I've gone through a lot of keycap sets since I discovered mechanical keyboards, but I think I'll be sticking with this one. Love the black and orange together. So classy! Having a black keyboard, I couldn't ask a better look.
Nice to have more options than just GMK.
DCX Skiidata is my first DCX keyset and can say it has similar quality to GMK sets I've used. The keycaps have a good thickness, clear legends, and a nice texture. The space bars are straight and not warped like GMK sometimes.
