These are pretty nice key caps, I like the texture, but they're only slightly more solid than the garbage that came with my Cm Storm. Certainly not worth the price. One would expect caps/Ctrl swap keys and a full set of modifiers at different sizes for that price. Fortunately, because they're so thin, you do get a decent amount of glow through the key cap on the caps/scroll lock (on the storm they use an led on the key).

zigzagAt that price??? 29 bucks for decent doubleshot pbt FULL set? You guys need to set you entitlement meters WAY back. And the people saying that they though the legends were white?? Here's a couple of free massdrop tips for you, READ the description. And while your there take 2 more seconds to look at the pictures. Sure not every picture is and exact replica of what you are getting, but if you would have taken the short time to actually look at the picture set, most normal people would have understood that the legends are purple. That and the drop name should probably be a hint. "Purple PBT..." And finally, not ONE of the color combos said WHITE. Not one. Maybe I'm ranting here, but I'm tired of these over entitled people spouting off negative things about a drop that they haven't fully investigated themselves. If you don't look at all the pictures or fully read the description THAT IS ON YOU!!! You should not be able to complain that you got hosed for not doing minimal research. Soap Box Mode: OFF Man, I've never seen so much negativity about a freaking 29$ keyset!!!!! Carry on...

JimbgreenThey are a cheap, thin set of keycaps. Did you buy these? $30 for a set of junk that I'd expect to see on a $15 bottom-end keyboard was a real let-down, since this group is apparently for keyboard 'enthusiasts'. If the description said "these are thin keycaps that happen to be pbt, but I wouldn't recommend putting them on any keyboard since they're probably worse than whatever came with it", then I wouldn't have been disappointed. Now I know better and am careful to avoid anything from TaiHao (or anything without a manufacturer explicitly stated). Injection-moulded plastics isn't rocket science, $30 should go really far in that department.

fanman888For a set of keycaps that are junk? Yes. I had a legitimate complaint about a set of keycaps that are thin and junky. Why do you find this so hard to comprehend? In fact, I'll go one step further: These didn't even match colours. Some keycaps had clearly denoted letters, others were fuzzy and thick. Some are brighter/darker than others. I would ask for my money back if I think I could get it. This complaint was really to serve notice to others such as myself who are looking for a really good set of keycaps, read "double-shot pbt", and thought "wow these must be good, I'll get them." There was no honest review of the low quality of these, now there is. That's called being helpful. What exactly are you trying to be with your question?
Edit: it looks like from your response below you're just a typical troll. I've attached a photo of the type of colour consistency one can expect from these keycaps. Hopefully a potential buyer finds this useful before they click 'join drop'. Note that in my case the number keys were quite crisp and thin, but the modifiers were all fuzzy.

zigzagYou wanted a "Really good set of keycaps" yet you bought this. It's a no brainer to understand that these aren't going to be very good. Now when you come here and complain about a $30 set of caps and expect them to perform like a $100 set, that just seems a bit whiny. You aren't being realistic at all. You got what you paid for.
If I buy a Toyota, I don't expect it to have all the bells and whistles of a Lexus. Just like if I bought a TaiHao set, I wouldn't expect an additional "full set of modifiers at different sizes for that price" when it's already a $30 104-piece PBT doubleshot cap set.
Heck, even a POS "custom" 61-piece ABS set from WASD costs $45 + shipping. Even the cheapest sets from Taobao or Aliexpress are gonna cost more than this set. Recheck your expectations.
Or... you can start your own business and print doubleshot PBT 104 piece cap sets that are extra thick WITH additional modifiers of varying sizes for $30. I'd be happy to be your first customer.
