Sleek and stylish with a catch!

This keycap set exhibits exceptional clarity and optimal shine-through properties, ideally complementing my build. However, it is susceptible to fingerprint smudges, and certain keys display signs of wear and polish due to intensive usage within a relatively short timeframe. Additionally, caution should be exercised when removing these keycaps, as their stems exhibit a degree of fragility.

Great look for a great price

I wanted to build a "stealth" keyboard with an old Tiger Lite I had lying around and these fit the bill perfectly. The caps themselves have a slick feeling to them and thats to be expected with ABS. Overall, I think theyre great.

Great migrations

To avoid the monotony of only one color, I paired the Silver and Shadow sets together. These keycaps are well-made and feel great to the touch. However, the sound pitch is a bit on the low side compared to products like GMK. Regardless, I love these keycaps, and it's almost a shame that my keyboard only has 65 switches. The keyboard in the photo is a Brick65 and the numpad is an LMK21. Last but not least, it was made in China, shipped to the US, and then, thanks to DHL eCommerce, passed through 'DEFRAA' in Frankfurt, Germany, before arriving here in Korea. I am deeply in awe of the journey.

Shine through is the best so far

I put these on a keychron q3 max because the shine through on their black side lit keycaps left a bit to be desired. These easily outshine them and it is now easy to discern tough to light keys like the "<" and ">" keys. Overall I'm very happy with the RGB results. It did result in a little loss of thock in the sound but I can live with that. Still on the fence with DCL profile as the original keycaps were a bit taller and thicker in OSA profile. The sound of the OSA's is amazing with just the right amount of thock for my preference. These a just a little less thocky though but I do wish the profile was OSA or maybe MT3.

Look great but they’re fingerprint magnets

Great looking set but get ready to wipe them down after every time you use them. They show fingerprints VERY easily. Also my original set did come with a damaged keycap but support helped me exchange them quickly for a new set with no trouble at all!

Very nice basic black set!

I really dig the clean look of this set. The legends are perfectly readable under south facing LEDs (very good shine through) and I really do appreciate that Mac specific modifier keys are included at this price. Being ABS, they sound and feel very similar, if not identical to the (significantly more expensive) GMK keycaps that just came off my board. My board is a Keychron Q1v2 with a PC backplate and Gazzew U4T clear top switches modded with 55g progressive springs. I love Cherry profile keycaps, but my one complaint with the GMK produced sets is that they don't put the familiar notches that most people are used to on the "F" and "J" keys and instead use a sharper sculpting on those keys. At times, a GMK set will confuse my home row positioning because my fingertips can't always tell which keys are "F" and "J." This "DCL" profile from Drop is very similar to Cherry. From what I can tell, the top key surface is just a bit narrower, but the "F" and "J" keys have the notches I've been missing! I'm actually typing a hair bit faster and more accurately on this profile and I wasn't expecting that at all. :-) I'm really glad I bought these. This a great value product, Drop!

They Feel Interesting... but In a Good Way

Okay so I've only ever used PBT keycaps, so I've never felt a set of ABS caps, however, these things feel great. They're oddly smooth, but not slippery. Awfully shiny, but still matte enough to look good. The side legends are perfectly legible and the lighting coming through is perfect. I have these paired with Gateron Milky Yellows and they sound perfect. Definitely worth the purchase. So much so that I'm getting another set for the CSTM80 I'm getting next!

Nice and simple

Nothing fancy. I haven't put them on a keyboard yet but seeing other people's pictures, the shine through keycaps seem like it will work well with a south facing LED, which the reason I bought them in the first place. I can't complain especially for the discounted price I got them for.

Cool black set

Very simple but nice keycap set. I like the illuminated side cutouts which work great with my south-facing led keyboard.

Clean and Simple Design

There's nothing very fancy about these. They're solid black with front facing shine through. The caps are finished with a smooth feel. They match the black face-plate of the CSTM80 very well... which is why I changed it, too much black for me. Black is a pretty universal pairing color, so many of the face-plates look good with them, and they'll mix 'n' match well with other similar keycaps. Looking forward to mixing these with the silver keys when they ship. I've run out of things to say about them. They're a clean simple design. and I didn't find any defects. I don't think I've found defects on any of Drop's branded keycap sets I have.
