Finally decided to put together a build with the Boba.Types DCD Lunar New Year keycaps. This is my third set of DCD keycaps, and my second set of reverse dye sub DCD keycaps. My last review featured a pre-production set of DCD keycaps, which had some of the common issues associated with reverse dye-sub (https://drop.com/talk/131796/what-to-expect-from-reverse-dye-sub-keycaps). This set, however, I picked up for myself with a DKC coupon during pre-order, so I was pleased to find that these issues were far less prevalent in this Lunar New Year production run.

Boba.Types did a fantastic job with the design and theming of this set. The red and gold color scheme complement each other perfectly, and the subtle contrast between the reds in the alphas and mods works beautifully. Once again, I’m pleasantly surprised by how bright and vibrant the colors are for a dye sub PBT set. Plus, I’m always a sucker for any kind of sublegends, they're a welcome addition in any set for me. I don’t usually use novelties in my builds, so I didn’t pick up the novelty kit for this set. However, the designs are stunning, and it’s clear that a lot of thought and effort went into them. For many, I’m sure the novelty kit is the main draw to this set. However, I can't comment any further on them.

As always, the blanks used for DCD keycaps are thick, high-quality, and offer a solid, full sound. They have a satisfying feel with a little bit of texture. The row markers printed within the caps are a welcome feature, especially for non-standard layouts or icon mods. The kitting in the base kit (and the coverage in the novelty kit) is extensive and I'm sure is enough cover the majority of layouts that you could ask for. For the price, especially Drop's preorder or sale pricing, I can highly recommend DCD keycaps for the quality.

In this keycap run, I didn’t notice any substantially offset legends, and there was no noticeable fading around the edges of the keycaps. If anything, the legends are printed quite close to the corners, but this placement is consistent throughout the set. Overall, beautiful set that I highly recommend.

Wow, a Taiwanese Input Method and a Mainland China Simplified Chinese Character for Novelty, they don't actually mix!

erickongThanks for the links ~ I believe those were in reference to the Red PVD plastic top during the original 2024 DCD Lunar New Year release (the pictures with the Gold top is new as of 2025). Unfortunately, the red top sounds like it's no longer in the works (Quote from Discord about the topic: "Unfortunately our supplier was unable to fix the QC issues with the finish and this is no longer in development."). Hoping for better news on the Gold top, but haven't heard anything very official on that yet.

Warning: the 6U spacebar in the accent kit is off-centered. Refer to my review for more specifics. (Edit: the pictures in the listing have been updated to reflect the off-centered 6U spacebar)

erickongNothing that special „Mod edit: Removed external product link per community guidelines“ Caught me by surprise, posting here for ten years, this has happened never before (to me), and external product links had never been a problem. Other mks are no secret anymore for the people, and if there is something out there, folks like better than Drop products, they are going to find and buy it anyway.

Looks great but as with almost all drop keycap sets, no backlit support. :-(

SoeiImagine what backlit support would look like for some of these keysets. It would ruin the aesthetic and design. Then you have a few keysets that have backlit support, where backlit support enhances the aesthetic: https://drop.com/buy/drop-keysterine-keycap-set-r2?defaultSelectionIds=977166

leeaaron326One can always choose to turn off the RGB, that choice is not an option in this case. The keycaps in your link are not to my liking. The set that I'm using which is my personal end-game keycap set is KAT Cyberspace katana. It was worth the 2 year wait. Unbelievably good with backlit support.
