I bought two of these in different colors, and I'm planning to buy a third. They're lovely keycaps.
Just two minor complaints. First, the edge of the MX stem overlaps the window, which ruins the illusion from some angles. Not a big deal, but probably could have been avoided with some forethought. Second, I think the window would work better if it were frosted or slightly more opaque. Again, not a big deal.
Overall, very happy with this purchase.
The color is vibrant and all the little details are well defined.
It also fits on the switch perfectly, some artisans I have are very loose and pop out easily, but this one is nice and snug.
I got the yellow one and it matches well with a lot of my keycap sets.
This thing is pretty dang awesome. The attention to detail is pretty crazy. if you owned an OG GameBoy as a kid, or adult, or ever, you'll find so many true to life details it'll just make you keep smiling.
There's a shaped indent for the gamelink cable port cover exactly where it should be. the etching where the headphone jack should be follows the contour to to the underside exactly like it sould. the contrast and volume wheels are right where they should be. And best of all. at the very top side of the keycap there's a grey cartridge shape that looks like an inserted game. Which made me laugh on sight.
And when it lights up. It has the same soft green glow ('retro biege' version) if you set the lights white, or the keyboard only lights up white/no color (as mine does)

Cool keycap but the stem broke when I removed it to clean my keyboard after under 2 months of use. First time pulling it and used a keycap puller so was careful not to twist or anything. edges of stem have cracking too. using Chery mx-Blue switches
DxterThis just happened the other day. Originally gave it a good review. Ill make a note of it
I have not reached out to drop at all about it but will do it soon
Bravo to the tiny details. Not sure if those are casting or painted but they look super good. No spill or bleed, details are sharp and evenly painted. The only unfortunate thing I will have to state about this cap is the material is a little thin, so the led does seep through.
Overall I think this artisan is great. The colors work well with the color scheme of my keyboard and matches my cherry profile caps as well. One minor gripe is that some of the rendors make it seem the cap will be an even darker grey (almost black). That's not the case, but it still looks cool!
