Like many others here, I got the completely transparent one, and it works really well with backlighting (as I'm sure the other ones do too). Even better when you set the backlighting to animate when you type. #PROTIP

Overall I like this cap! I felt it was a bit plane so I filled it in with a 0.05 art inking pen. Looks good on my board and feels fine to press (its not sharp if your worried about that). I'd also point out that the prism does not pick up finger prints nearly as bad as I thought it would.

Really recommend the transparent options. I bought Clear instead of Sapphire because I was worried the Sapphire wouldn't match with my Dasher keycaps' shade of blue. That decision turned out good, everyone comments on how pretty the keycap is!

Just doesn't stay on keycaps.

I bought the Opal option of this keycap, because I wanted the full effect of my RGB lighting to shine though. Overall, it's pretty and gem-like, and I love how it works with the rainbow effect on my CTRL keyboard. I also couldn't help but think that my Max Keyboard Falcon 8 would look sweet if I could justify buying 8 of these keycaps (and if I knew how to hack it for RGB). That said, there is room for improvement, if they release this again: - The stem is a bit too small/tight or otherwise just slightly WRONG for my Cherry MX brown keycaps on my CTRL keyboard. It was a struggle to install, and I worry about the stem cracking or breaking [Update: It chipped the stem]. I see I'm not the only person with that issue, so perhaps they can adjust that. It's the reason I originally detracted one star, and now I can only give the keycap one star - what good is a keycap that damages switches and won't stay on them? - The base part is too short for my tastes; it just exposes too much of the switch. It's even shorter than the base cap on my beloved fidget spinner keycap, which itself is shallower than the keycaps that came on my CTRL keyboard. I detracted a half star for that, but I suppose that is matter of personal preference. Still, a more standard cap size would have been better. - Consider adding facets. The square shape and transparency of the "gem" make the stem extremely, unattractively obvious. Again, I bought the opal option with a translucent base, and I imagine this is not an issue in colors with solid bases. Adding some facets would help mask or distract from the stem. I knocked a half star for this, but again, others might not mind seeing the stem (or may not see it at all), so ymmv. UPDATE 1: I was going to add back a star because I subtracted it due to things that can be considered a matter of taste. That said, I've had the keycap fall off because the stem doesn't fit well. Given the cap is rather hard to install, and then doesn't always stay put, I decided to leave things alone. I have this on my Pause/Break button, so it's not even a key I use. I don't regret my purchase, which is perhaps the most important thing. UPDATE 2: Has continued to fall off the switch, and has always been tough to get seated properly again. Now, my switch has a small chip.

This is a pretty sweet keycap. For those that don't know, the prism is a dichroic glass cube. They are usually used in optics and beams. I assume they got ahold of a bunch of defective ones that are small. I have a large one. If you get ahold of one try taking photos through the cube you'll be surprised with the psychedelic results.
Big respect to Gen.S for this design.

Good for a solid 7 days

Stem cracked within a week. Looks nice while it lasted. Right now it's a useless lump of plastic. $25 worth.

Turns yellow

Just a heads up for anyone considering the clear variant (opal?). In the two years that I've had this keycap, it has turned yellow from being in existence.
