I wanted these for the Samurai Blue Salvation. And what better to complete "salvation" than a knight of the highest order that is tasked with saving a kingdom?
The moment I installed the SA profile onto this keyboard, it immediately transformed into what I felt it was meant to be. The base kit, add ons, and novelty set completed the 60% build and I couldn't be more pleased. The quality of the keycaps are sharp, the legends are straight, no crooked stems. It sounds amazing with the Clackbits.
It's just a great set, I can't say anything more.
I like the novelty keys. They're pretty cool and I liked their color profile.
Packaging came damaged though. Also for buyers be aware its SA profile so make sure your other keycaps you plan to match fit that profile. No returns whatsoever so I messed up on that end.
Marked recommend as No but it's really more of a maybe/depends.
These are 100% for someone who likes the SA profile and the Saber aesthetic. The keycaps look very sharp and "clean".

Bought them to put on a GMK67 (Holy Panda X switches) that's not going to be getting a ton of mileage. It's a good looking keyboard and a conversation piece, but definitely not my daily driver in a work environment.
I do like the keyboard though, enough that I'm putting it in a prominent location in my home and using it as my primary for web browsing and such on the living room TV.
The moment I saw these on sale and in stock again I just knew I had to cop them! I've always been a fan of Artoria/Altria/Saber from FSN since the VN days and Deen Stay Night anime days. These are a great buy for anyone looking for high quality SA keycaps --or just wanting to try the profile out. Even better buy if you're a fan of the character. The SA profile isn't for everyone, so buy at your own risk, it has been about a week now since I've been using them (I've typed on nothing but cherry profile) and I haven't had an issue adjusting to them.
THE METAL EXCALIBUR IS BEAUTIFUL! For the price, it's definitely higher quality than what I was expecting. I sort of want to buy a second one just for display or something.
I will say that I do have a couple small gripes with the key caps, this is just me personally but I do wish the legends were a bit thicker. I have also noticed that there are a little inconsistencies the legends being centered; it kept making me think that I maybe somehow bent the stems or something. The metal Excalibur keycap is also just slightly lower than the rest of the keycaps, so if you're looking for a uniformed look all around, or maybe you're a bit OCD, this is something to look out for. Other than that though these are by far my favorite keycaps at the moment and would definitely recommend them to anyone.
I do hope that they make the blue and white alphas in stock as well as the alternate color novelties. Would love to have those on maybe another saber themed build.
