Beautiful keycaps, and look great

I use these keycaps with a Drop Ctrl High Profile, and have manually set the background colors to roughly match the keycap colors. They look incredible and feel smooth, would highly recommend!

The backlight color profile isn't perfect but I tried to make it match as best I could. Here is what is looks like if you order it and would like to replicate it using Drop's keyboard configuration tool or any other backlight editor:

Good quality

Good quality keycaps for a decent price. No warp on space bar. Be aware of the keys included for your keyboard layout, as it is not compatible with Keychron K2's non-conventional layout (Home-End/PgUp-PgDn reversed). I used SharpKeys to remap the keys to a conventional layout, but the PgDn R4 color is blue among the pink right column, which is rather odd. Other than that, the keycaps are perfect for a budget or lower-end custom keyboard setup.

Great Value PBT Caps

Overall for the price, I think it's hard to find a set that matches these in terms of layout coverage and quality. As long as you keep cherry profile's interference on north facing LEDs/switches in mind, the drawbacks are minor and I haven't heard of a set at this price range that doesn't have some sort of compromise. Drop has a bunch of different colorways too, so if you find something you like, I'd recommend it.

Now on to some specifics. Please note that these aren't things you should really pay attention to if you're new to keyboards, just get something you like and enjoy it. I just have fun being overly detailed since no one else does it here. The Kits These keycaps arrive in nice trays that keep the keys well organized, as long as you open them flat. That's admittedly quite difficult to do, and then the caps will slide around a little bit, but it's not too much of an issue.

I'm a big fan of how much coverage they include in these kits. You can get these for 65% boards and others with the short right shift and 1u keys in the bottom row, split backspace, HHKB, drop shifts and other weird 1800 boards, 2.25u right shift, navigation keys above the numpad are covered, and if you get these on the right run, you can get kits for winkeyless and ISO boards too. I got the winkeyless kit, and it's a little weird that each key comes in a tiny individual bag, and the four caps are in one bigger bag. A bit wasteful if you ask me. There's also one key that I think is a duplicate, the purplish alt key. It's a very slightly different color than the one in the base kit, but I believe it's within manufacturing tolerance so they could have just not included that one. The gradient does look a little funny on "compact" layouts like 65%, 75%, and 96%, but I personally don't find it to be a huge deal. What bugs me more is the limited options for the right column on my 65%. The only intended support in the correct row profile is drop's super weird non-standard setup that they have on the ALT. That's not normal at all, but I use my right column for macros so I opted for some numpad keys and the menu key for mine. As for your homing keys (F and J,) they are both barred and scooped. This is pretty common to see on less expensive keysets, as making separate scoops and bars takes more molds, but it is something I miss from the more enthusiast keysets. The key legends Many keyboard enthusiasts are very picky about the legends on their keycaps. This is my first dye-sub set, so I don't know how good it can really get, but these are noticeably blurry compared to double shot without looking bad, in my opinion. Here I've got one of these caps on the left, a GMK cap in the middle, and a Novelkeys PBT cap on the right. Those other two are both double-shot.

If I look extremely close, I can see tiny inconsistencies in the thickness of letters and the alignment of some, but if I'm not looking for it specifically I can't ever tell that anything's off. I'd call it pretty close to perfect. Curiously, the legend for the caps lock key is what's normally used as an icon ctrl legend, and they also include a text 'control' key for HHKB users, so there's technically no caps lock key. Not a big deal to me either. The physical keys As these keycaps are Cherry profile, please note that you'll get what's called "interference" on some of the rows if your keyboard has north-facing LEDs (also called north-facing switches) like Drop's boards do. Basically, some rows will bottom out a little early, and it feels and sounds a bit different than a normal switch bottom out. It isn't harmful to the function of the keycaps at all, I just personally don't like the way it feels. The typing surface on these keycaps is very smooth. I don't dislike it, but it was a little weird coming from other keycap sets which are often textured. The keys are also a tiny bit shorter than other cherry profile caps I have. Not enough to notice the difference while typing, but mixing and matching wouldn't work perfectly.

A couple keys are turned a tiny bit crooked, which would be a stem issue, but I haven't seen PBT keys that aren't so I think that just comes with the territory. Some tooling marks are visible on the bottom of the caps too, but I can't see them in normal use. These caps are nice and thick, however. I believe that enhances the sound a bit, and there's no feeling of fragility here. They're about the same thickness as the Novelkeys PBT caps and GMK, so I'd say they do a pretty good job here compared to a lot of the cheaper keycaps.

Lucas_JundtThat was a great review, and one of the best I saw on drop. I'm new to the community, and I think i'm going to go to a TKL with these keycaps, and silent switches, do you think it would be a good match ?

blob-umbrellaSorry for not seeing this for so long, these will definitely look good on a TKL. I haven't used silent switches before, so I don't know about how these will sound on them with the little bit of sound that you get. The only thing I can think of is that some people don't like how the bottom out feels on silent switches but that doesn't get changed by keycaps.

Beautiful keycaps with smooth feel

These keycaps are really gorgeous. I use them on the Drop CTRL and they look really pretty with the RGB lights set to the blue and pink theme behind them. One comment that others made that I agree with, is that they are super tight so be careful when adding and removing them from your board. Overall though, they are super nice keycaps.

Great value, 98% fit on Ducky One 2 SF

Caps look good and feel quality. They are a bit smoother than I expected? I guess I just don't have enough experience with PBT caps. Despite having 3 options for a right Shift key, none were the correct fit for the Ducky One 2 SF.

Stop using FedEx

Please for the love of god please stop using FedEx. Both times I have purchased something from DROP they just don't ever arrive on time. I bought multiple items on the 9/4/2021 and have still not received them. All of these items were ready to be shipped.

Missing arrow key -- Drop won't fix

I ordered this product (with a keyboard) for my partner's birthday. After putting all the keycaps in, I realized that there was no right arrow key included (2 left arrow keys instead). Drop customer service refused to send me a replacement arrow key, but insisted I remove and send back the entire set, after which they would ship a replacement set. I asked if shipping could be expedited to ensure the replacement made it here for my partner's birthday, and they refused. Overall this seems like really poor customer service--Drop has not been willing to take any steps to mitigate the fact that they sent me a defective product, instead putting me through significant hassle, and leaving me with the fact that I will probably be left with an incomplete keyboard for my partner's birthday (even though I ordered months in advance). I wouldn't recommend ordering any keycaps from this company as they send incomplete sets and take no responsibility to fix their own mistakes.

I wish a few blanks were included…

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.

Great keycaps!

They’re very nice and basic keycaps. They fit my Keydous NJ68 very nicely! They are thinner than the keycaps that came with my keyboard since the RGB does shine thru a bit. They’re smooth to touch, too! Overall they’re solid and great while I wait for my GMKs.
