The set is definitely darker than I thought it would be -- I think I was expecting more a British racing green. The pictures are honest, though - it is a lovely (dark) shade of green.
I bought the set to pair with a Mekanisk Urskog keyboard in their 'Ultraforest' shade. The caps were starting to feel a little too dark for my tastes, but when I tried them out on the Urskog: SO good.
Couldn't be happier with the results.
Like other DCX sets, this is very well designed and manufactured, with consistent and legible legends, nice thick keycaps, reasonable coverage across many keyboards, and a really nice colour. The colour is somewhat darker than the photos would suggest, although in a sufficiently well-lighted room this is not an issue.
Where it is let down is the coverage - there are insufficient keycaps to suit even a Drop-designed keyboard. Most notably there is no "Menu" key at all, despite the issue having been raised with Drop a long time ago, so this set cannot even fit Drop;s own Ctrl keyboard, which needs a 1.25x "Menu" key. There are also no blanks to put in place of the missing "Menu" key.
Nor can I put these on my CODE, Womier, Skyloong or SmartDuck keyboards due to the lack of a "Menu" key. Or the recently designed CTSM80, which also has a "Menu" key.
DCX is also supposed to offer Mac-compatibility i.e. a handful of keycaps with Mac legends on them (at least according to the Drop story on designing DCX keycaps - see https://drop.com/talk/107374/kicking-off-with-the-classic-black-on-white). Where are the Mac keys? Not included with this set, unfortunately.
Overall a great set, but be prepared to make some compromises if you have a keyboard with a "Menu" key.
Great fonts on alphas and mods. Great sound. Wonderful color. Kitting to fit most boards.

I love these keycaps. They’re obviously excellent quality — everything I’ve ever gotten from Drop, from desk mats to other keycap sets, has been professional grade. These keycaps are a deep, beautiful green. It’s definitely not as bright and poppy as a John Deere green or a Starbucks green. (Google “hex code #023020” — pretty close. Drop doesn’t release their color codes.)
I put these on a white Feker Alice98 with Dangkeebs Cookie Dough silent linear switches, and it’s perfection. The quietest and most comfortable keyboard I’ve ever built.
I’d love to buy these again in the garnet color.
Definitely recommend.
got these keycaps to match my green case, they're not only stunning to look at, but the feel and sound is so much better than average. They are made very well and you can definitely tell by the way they look and feel.
