I am so happy I waited to get these. I’m a big fan of the pudding caps so when I saw these I just had to have a set. I enjoy them a lot more than I thought I would! Everglide aqua king switches make the lighting shine through insanely!
my build is a gmmk pro with polycarbonate plate, everglide aqua king switches, durock v2 stabs, and the artifact bloom glow keycaps. Glorious aura space bar really compliments this set of caps, IMO!
I absolutely love the look and feel of these keycaps. I'm using them on an NK65 entry (fire), and the south-facing LEDs work perfectly with the side-lit lettering. I had been looking for side-lit keycaps, but could not find any sets that had the right sizes for the NK65 - this one fit perfectly and looks unique.
Does a fantastic job showing off RGB - the picture doesn't do it justice. Very much worth their price.

For some reason, the pictures I looked at made it look like the keycaps had a metalic sheen on them, when in reality, they are just white tops on them. They still look nice, and work great. I did have some problems with them catching when pressed on my SteelSeries APEX TKL keyboard, so I switched them over to a Razer TKL keyboard that I had, and they worked just fine...

Keycap stems split after roughly 3 weeks of use!!!
I'm extremely disappointed that the stems on 3 keycaps are split and now wobbly and unusable after just 2 months of ownership - 3 weeks total on a keyboard.
******EDIT - Be warned, Drop have informed me there is no warranty on the keycaps and do not care that they only lasted 3 weeks on a keyboard*******
There is almost no internal diffraction in these keycaps, and consequently they look very stripey and flat. Pictured is maximum brightness and a mixture of crystal and non-crystal keycaps. Doesn't really seem to matter. I am not sure if some of the other reviewers, especially those mentioning south-facing LEDs got other keycaps or what, but at least for the keychron q12 with south-facing LEDs, this looks like hot garbage.
Update: After leaving my original 2 star review Drop has ceased communicating with me about resolving the issue. I strongly recommend you take any order as a low QC purchase that will not receive support if there are any issues and no returns.
The keycaps look pretty good and the legends really shine on South facing LEDs.
Downsides: you don't have a typical return policy with Drop. So if you have any defects you get a choice of a price reduction or shipping the whole set back to wait for another set that might also have defects. My set was missing a number 4 that was apparently substituted with an F4 and had minor blemishes on other keys
If you have cash and time to blow this might be worth it. But if you think $50 on keycaps gets you QC, you are unfortunately mistaken.
I have been pretty happy with these since they arrived! They show the custom lighting on my CTRL so well!
Only thing is, now I wish I had a black keyboard. If you give a mouse a keycap set...
Oh gosh. I got it from drop actually but years ago. Back when I didn't know to check what kind of stabilizers I had to bit something like this 😂 I finally got a keyboard it works with.
I'll see if I can find a listing page for it
The keycaps were really badly printed. I had a handful that were smudged, and like others mentioned they don't diffuse properly, like at all. They'd probably look better with north facing LED's but then you wouldn't be able to to see the text on the keycaps. When they arrived they were also all loose and mixed up in the box even though they did have plastic to hold them. Overall I was just really disappointed with the quality of the keycaps and 100% wouldn't recommend them to someone else save your 50 bucks
