Got mine in today. It's a solid improvement over the cheap stock ABS keycaps on my CM Quick Fire Rapid. The letters/characters are crisp, the keys slightly darker grey than what my phone can detect/advertised, but I like it. Typing on them is a dandy experience.

I want to shower this with praise but there are some minor QC issues Nitpicks/Cons - Some excess plastic around the caps which is easily remedied with a sharp utensil. - This might be just my keyboard, but the I couldn't keep the space bar wire stabilizer plastic loops in the space bar without them falling out on their own. A very modest amount of blue tack solved the problem for now. Obviously don't use a permanent adhesive. - Another problem I had with the space bar: The hole for the MX switch itself was too small at first, and I had to scrape off small amounts of plastic from the inside before it would fit properly. (Note: None of the other keys with stabilizers gave me these issues) - Personal opinion: The text on the navigation buttons seem cramped, and slap-dashed. That's no big deal. - Not sure if this is just with my set, but if you have OCD, the scroll lock cap may bother you. I can't say this key sees much use on my end, so it doesn't bother me too much. But the text on the plucky little scroll lock cap is off alignment just ever so slightly and it makes my MS Excel sheets scroll crooked. - For over $40 in total, for just key caps(albeit nice key caps), and waiting almost two months, I'd expect just a little bit more attention to detail and QC.
