After waiting what felt like an eternity I was not impressed with these keycaps. They seem flimsy and the LEDs on my SHIFT keyboard could be seen through the keys. I wish I had realized this was not a returnable item, I will not be using these keycaps.
I have these keycaps on my sky blue Zoom75, and it matches extremely well. As for the keycaps, they feel very good quality, I had no issues with misprints or anything like that, they had enough for me to fit my Z75 and zoom pad with only the one set. I see a bunch of other people don't like the RGB shine through, or lack thereof, on this set. I on the other hand do not have the same issues, I think they don't really interfere. I also am using WS Morandi switches, which do have light diffusers, so ymmv.
The colors on this set are lovely. I really wanted to love these keycaps but there are just a few to many issues for me to enjoy these, at least while using rgb. The biggest problem I have is while using rgb with my keyboard you can very clearly see the stems straight through the keys. Some keys are much worse than others and its keys of varying colors so not just the lighter colored caps ( picture shown below is at only 20% brightness and the stems are still clearly visible on some keys). If I set my brightness low enough, 5% in my case, then the only the biggest offender, caps lock, is to noticeable. Im not sure if this is just the thickness of the top of the keycaps which do feel otherwise pretty thick and hefty. It also would have been nice for this set to have come with a few blanks of each color for different layouts but at this price I can understand why it might not. Lastly, and im not entirely quite sure the issue here as im fairly new to custom keyboards, a few of these keys feel very heavy to press or kind of muddy. The backspace feels pretty awful on my keyboard and I have used the same switches with other keycaps set and not felt this.
The set is very pretty and if you dont plan to use rgb and have a pretty standard layout these might worth a try but for me these were a very disappointing experience for a keycap set that really stood out to me but with issues the issues ive pointed out I would not recommend them, ive used cheaper sets that have felt better and without the shinethrough issue, albeit not as pretty as these.
These are high quality PBT keycaps, and I did watch reviews on the keycaps so I knew this beforehand, the keycaps are 100% smooth with no texture. It doesn't fully bother me, just takes a little getting used to. High quality legending at a good price. If you like texture in keycaps, maybe avoid these?
So as an ortho user, I always move certain keys to accommodate my layout, namely plus, left bracket, and apostrophe.

Normally this isn’t an issue, but since Dusk is a gradient keyset, those three keys stick out like a sore thumb.
I wish blank keys in pink and blue in all the row profiles were included, or perhaps some novelties in those colors and profiles. As is, I made do with the keys that come with the kit, and it’s okay, but it’s definitely a compromise solution.
