These are great. As strange as I feel like it is to say this, a black/dark themed keycap set is actually refreshing. Not to say the other caps out there aren't great (they really are), but there's been such a trend in going retro with beige or just doing white. I think it's probably in part because that was refreshing from all the standard black keyboards everybody used for quite a while before they respectively started using mechanical keyboards, and even then most of us started out by buying a stock mechanical keyboard from a large peripherals company like Logitech, Corsair, or Razer and those are for the mass market and are all black, as well. It's awesome to see something creative done in the old staple black.
I'm in for the Oblivion Alphas & Numpad, as well as the Git Modifiers (I'm surprised these were the cheapest, they're great!). I also grabbed the arrows, although I am undecided on if those might not fit with the rest of the style as well. But for 10 bucks, why not try it? Finally, I LOVE the Oblivion LED caps, but damn are those expensive for a few keys. I might just take the plunge on them anyway so I can have something unique and because I don't buy massive amounts of keycap sets, but rather have bought what I need for 2 keyboards. Meaning definitely a few more than 2 full sets over time, because we all need more than one set per keyboard (but seriously it's impossible to go into this collection/hobby and figure out/pick out exactly your favorite setup the first time you do it).
But I just have to point out my shock at the JUNE 2018 estimated ship date. I mean, I went in for matt3o's awesome new profile keycaps which haven't shipped yet knowing it would be at least a 5 month wait, but this will be double that at a whopping 10 months. At that point, just round up - we won't be seeing these in person for a year. That's hard to swallow, but I like this set so much that I know I'd regret not taking the plunge now when June rolls around and people are receiving their keycaps. Future me, very far in the future me for an ecommerce purchase, will thank me.

GaleForceSecond the love for LED-windowed keys! They are expensive now, but will drop by A LOT once numbers go up. Best to add them ASAP!

controlTrue, I forgot to even check the drop numbers. Good point. Also, the more specialized and less selling keycaps initially during a sale like this typically become the most valuable because of their scarcity. Not that I'm looking to resell keycaps since I'm not drowning in them, but still, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have a collector's item at that point!

controlDoesn't look like they're going to hit the drop point, which is pretty surprising. I would have thought with so many people buying these keycaps that there would be at least 75 people into the windowed keys, even if just for the novelty/nostalgia factor. I think I'm going to stay in at the $40 though; They look great and with ~60 sets sold they're definitely going to be some of the rarest keycaps around.
