Exceeded expectations.
Being somewhat new to custom mechanical keyboards and seeing the sometimes unreasonably high prices that keycaps can go for (especially GMK sets), I was expecting these keycaps to be cheap feeling considering their relatively low cost. In all honesty, I bought these keycaps to hold the place of a GMK set I ordered that isn't coming until later this year. But now, I think I'm going to keep them as is. I'm going to just keep using these. I like the color. I like the set. These keycaps are good quality. The legends are crisp. The texture is a smooth matte finish that feels great on the fingers. To be honest, I'm having a hard time finding anything wrong with them. If you're looking for a fantastic keycap set, these are definitely a good choice even if you don't take into account their budget friendliness. These are just good. Period.

Good value, with drawbacks
Was looking for decent cherry profile dark keycap set, and whilst these aren't bad, I regret not getting the similar uniform 'black on black' keyset made by the same brand as these, but those are out of stock, and these were pretty cheap. The Good: Printing of legends look great, uniform and even and rounded font - very similar to GMK. PBT Thickness is decent, around 1.4 - 1.5mm. Also, ICON modifiers for ~$53! Makes a great subtle and minimal looking keyset without the icon modifiers prices. Nub marks are also gated flush to underside of the keycaps, so no weird nubs or indents at the sides. Also good layout support for different boards. The Cons: The keycaps are smooth, much smoother than kbd 'gentlemen' keycaps. Certainly not glossy smooth, but very fine grit velvety smooth. Because of this, its easy to make slight glossy scratch marks with your fingernails, and whilst these scratches can be easily buffed out with a paper towel or your sleeves, its something to consider. Also, while the darker modifiers are exact to the color of the pictures, the alphas are slightly off. They're slightly lighter in grey, but more annoying so they are warmer/browner in white balance then the dark modifiers - its not a neutral balanced grey. In result the juxtaposition in real life shows that the lighter grey alphas looks more 'creamier' than the modifiers, OR for some the modifiers will look more 'cooler' or purplish than the alphas. The Strange: For some reason, these keycaps are ever so slightly shorter, smaller in width and depth, and slightly lighter than my other cherry profile keycaps. Its not noticeable or a even a problem, but I thought it was peculiar that the keycaps are literally 99% the volume size of my JTK keycaps and EPBT blanks. Overall, this is pretty good value for anyone thats looking for a darker keycap set. Thick dye sub pbt, good uniform legends, and in cherry profile = all the makings of a great set. Only thing holding back from a 5/5 star review is that the grey of the alphas are slightly warmer/browner then advertised. Keyset will have more contrast than shown in pictures, but not by much.

Nice Quality
These caps are pretty nice. A little darker in person than they appear in pictures (even the pictures I take they seem lighter than they do to my eyeballs). But good thickness, solid build, legends are accurate. Might not be the best home on this ID80 but I will undoubtedly be using these somewhere.

These caps look fantstic - clear legends, solid, thick caps, made of PBT as well, but the main issue I have with them is that the texture is very strange for PBT. Typically, PBT sets have a distinct feel to them that is instantly recognizable and feels great to type on. These, unfortunately, feel so smooth that they are almost slick to the touch. Not what I was expecting and not what I was hoping for either. The alphas in R2 have a bit of that signature texture to them, but for some reason, those are the only keys with it. This is the same across all colorways in this lineup so far, from my experience. If you like a smooth set of caps, then this is a no brainer purchase at the price point. If you absolutely love the texture of PBT, then look elsewhere.

Kujothis is so, so weird. I got these exact same "Dark Dolch" keycaps, and the texture on them was so wonderful, not smooth at all like you are describing. It was so good that I bought the "Vintage" set as well from the same series. And then the Vintage set showed up, and they're extremely smooth, with no texture. Like entirely different keycaps, not just a different colorway. I wonder, does the amount of texture somehow vary across batches, and the quality control isn't good enough at detecting when this happens? I have no other explanation lol

Good Cap Set, Small Refinement Foibles
search
Tested on a GK68XS w/Ergo True (63.5 g spring) switches. *This is the second Cherry profile set I've used, the first being on the FLEsports F12 Polia Edition. Colors look great, but they're warmer than the photos indicate. Not a problem in my case but either Drop needs to have better stock images, or QC needs to ensure the grays are cooler than these. They're a tight fit so expect some resistance trying to install them, and if you have hot-swap sockets that are a bit loose at the plate you will likely pull out your switch with the cap. Legends look clear and seem pretty well lined up. Included caps offer a good deal of form factor diversity for the price. Build quality seems pretty good, surface texture is remarkably smooth to the touch. The Alphas in R1 on my set had a SLIGHTLY grittier texture to them than the rest of the caps, no visual indication of it either. Not really noticeable when typing but if you're looking for it you won't be able to un-feel the difference. If you're feeling the Dolch vibes and you don't want to demolish your wallet this is a good cap set, just needs some minor refinements to go from good to great.

Not nearly as thick as the pics indicate
The main reason I bought these was how thick they looked in the images, but what I got was much thinner. I feel cheated to be honest.

Great caps
Quality is pretty good, a little rough around the edges towards the underside but its not a huge deal. They look great, feel great, and most importantly, they sound great!

Amazing Keycaps
Ignore the negative reviews, they are smooth but not as smooth as abs. And I really like them. Amazing price, and pretty thick.totally worth it, don’t second guess buying them.

They're fine.
I'm pretty neutral on these keycaps so far, to be honest. They're kind of waxy or satin-y, and feel pretty thin. They're fine. They get the job done. I just am not in love with them. Color matching is iffy, too.
