Pleasantly surprised with the quality of this set. Plastic is thick, nicely textured, and the legends are clear and consistent.

So far I have been liking these key caps. They feel very smooth to me and I like the change of color it gives my keyboard. I’ve had zero problems with the quality of this group buy.

This was my first purchase from Massdrop after watching and waiting for something relatively risk free to take part in. I really like this set besides for some (fairly) minor details. The colors, texture, and thickness of this set were surprisingly very high quality. The F and J keys are cupped in a way that make them very easy to feel--which is way better than any other way to make them stand out if you ask me. No more or less key wobble than other sets in comparison. The thickness does change the sound. For me, (coming from a thinner DSA set), the pitch is higher and they are much louder now to type on. Found that interesting and worth mentioning. The only gripes I have, would bring it down to 3.5 stars if it were an option...it's not, so 4 it is. The legends on the mods are whack. From the picture, you should be able to tell that compared to the cyan legends, and alphas- the thickness and sizing is not consistent. Obviously the alphas have huge letters, but the black stands out much more and I like that contrast. The REAL issue...is that the mods are a little wonky in key sizing, and so my bottom row needs to have the corners sanded down so they don't hit each other. I have used a couple other sets on this board, and this issue is absolutely unique to this set. Overall, I'd say this is a nice set to have as part of my collection. In the future I might wait until I find something a little more unique. Something that was a huge bummer for me is not having more cyan keys to order as an option. Decided to throw the arrows in an usual spot to showcase them more...and my modifiers on my bottom row won't be in the right place until I decide to keep the set, and then sand the corners down. For now they are getting in my way. From the pic, maybe you can tell as well not all keys line up exactly...but whatever, maybe that's normal. Not so great at writing reviews, but I hope this helps! They are a nice classic set, well made, decent QC and at a good price. No missing keys (as far as I've seen thus far without checking in depth).

These are great. The quality is above-average, which surprised me given the price. I love the look and profile. It was very close to what I wanted (I am not sure I could have pinpointed exactly what I want, either). If you're on the fence, get these.

Bottom Line: A solid 2.5 out of 5 (which I would've given if that was an option). The pro's first I suppose. The texture is very nice, and the font legends seem pretty sharp. I'm a fan of the beige/retro color-wave as well (which is the main reason why I purchased this keyset in the first place). The extra blue enter, escape, and arrow keys are a nice addition, and it's nice they give an option to stick with the standard color scheme. The scalloped F & J keys feel very nice and are good for homing. Now the cons. I suppose it's expected to not be absolutely perfect, but there are some pretty egregious issues if you're more of a stickler. First off: the key legends are quite large, especially compared to how small the modifier legends are. That could be a con or pro depending on what you prefer. I don't mind them that much. I think one of my biggest issues is that a good number of the legends are misaligned severely. My I key is very noticeably leaning to right side. This is present on a few key caps as well, but not as noticeable. The next issue is that a few of the key caps are warped, more specifically the modifiers. If you look from the top down, the top & bottom sides of the larger modifiers are compressed in the middle, where the PBT shrunk. It's hard to notice unless you are really looking. My backspace key's stem is warped in a way that one of the corners rubs nearly rubs against my high profile case. The blue enter key's top right corner also every so slightly rubs against the backslash key. Bottom line? You get what you pay for. It's a decent starting DSA keycap set, but I would rather pay an extra 15-25 dollars for a set without the issues I've mentioned above. I'd only really consider this keyset if you really like the beige/retro colorwave and don't want to have the more typical greyscale DSA keysets.

Good quality caps, really like the color and legends. Slight warping on most of the caps as others have said, presumably from the PBT shrinking, but it's only on the sides. Overall 9/10 would buy again!

Okay for the price but lacks.

First keycaps i ordered to bridge me until my first GMK group-buys arrive. Bought the Basic plus Numpad, International and Planck to cover the RoPro. Now build a custom 65% and wanted to switch them there, sadly i noticed a few missing caps so i thought of writing a review. Positive

The caps have a very nice texture.
Ink sharpness on the legends varies between sizes but overall decent.
Retro beige is great and resembles recycled paper or older plastic very nice.

Negative

Basic set does not include a small/split left and right shift.
As others mentioned the caps warp, personally bad on the 2Us.
Stems are rather loose and can wander up.
Residue plastics on the edges from the mold, easily removable.

Overall okay for the price and a nice colourway, the warping and lose stems are acceptable but a bit disappointing.

Solid keycaps

These were my first custom keycaps and I thought they were good value for the price ($33 USD + shipping). Not quite ready to jump into fancy $100+ keycap sets yet, but I'm completely satisfied with this. Matches well with my off white Leopold FC750R.

Worst QC ever

Just received my set and is terrible. Legends off centre, no 1.75u shift and warped spacebar. Waiting for the reply to my email to customer service. In the meantime, this will be posted on r/MK.

Almost Pefect

Really great, but like some other users, I've got issues with a few of the stems looking rotated or offset. As a result, the keys don't seem to like up properly. It's okay though, as I'm unlikely to use them much at all. Turns out I don't really like the DSA profile. (Ha!)

I bought the set back when it was sold in smaller sets and ordered a big variety which i unfortunately thought would get me through most boards, but i just got a 65% keyboard and am missing a 1.75u shift or blank. Is there anyone willing to sell me one?
