High quality keys, beautiful subtle colors with great readability. Easily the nicest caps I've ever bought, with great communication throughout the ordering process.
While some may be adverse to using DSAa profile caps, I love them and this is the second set I've owned in that profile. The colors and theme of this set are On Point and exceptionally cute. Can't wait to see what the designers will make next!
Base Kit + Nonstandard Icon Mods to maintain a consistent look with icon mods.
Alphas + Text Mods + Nonstandard Icon Mods will work as well, but your 1.75u R Shift will have an icon legend inconsistent with the rest of the text mods.

It's beautiful and pretty although the package is terrible.
I love the aestic. You get what you see in the picture. It's so pretty.
One negative thing is that you just get transparent vinyle bag with key caps. No product box nor anything.
I am incredibly disappointed in the quality of these keycaps. I am flabbergasted they have such a high rating on here. The keycaps ship all haphazardly thrown together in a tiny little plastic bag, and every single one has chipping on the side. I’m guessing this is from manufacturing as the chips look consistent across all of the keycaps. It seems like they were carelessly ripped out of their molding. How did this the creators OK this? Did they not see the end product before it went online? Awful. Seriously, don’t waste your time or money buying these. I will be returning them immediately.
dummyTrixIf you purchase Manufacturer: Signature Plastics / ABS Doubleshot It will come in a plastic bag and clipped issues. Popular DSA keycap from Mintlodica Magic girl series are like that too. 😥
Looks, sounds, and feels great, but a few caveats.
The keycaps themselves are great. They have good texture and sound great. I love the iconography of the set as well. On my board, the Alter alice, it compliments the pink of the board amazingly. However, I docked it from a perfect score for a few reasons. 1: the keycaps ship in bags. At a price point of $95 for the base kit I expect better packaging than just bags when newly bought, but it doesn't impact the keycaps itself. Point 2 however does. The base kit only includes the standard 104 key layout. For a set that costs almost as much as DCX sets, this is pretty disappointing. This means that using this set for anything that needs a few nonstandard keys such as a 65% or 75% requires buying the $30 nonstandard mods for extra. Even worse, the nonstandard kit doesn't include any variety of shorter spacebars or an extra B key, so boards like alices and splits require using some of the mod keys to fill in instead. DSA profile makes this mostly a non-issue, but the fact that the kits offer less support than most other keycaps sets stop me from giving this a better score.
I wish they offered a base kit with 1.75 shift key, but other than that annoyance, I really love these keycaps! Nice texture, crisp legends - a must-have for anyone who loves DSA & cuteness
Very cute and well built caps, thick and with a good feel. I wish they included a 1.75u shift with the base package though, as not including one limits what frames you can use these on without paying quite a lot extra.
Just got in some extention kits, and one thing still bugs me...
Of all the issues to have with this set, my main one is how it gets shipped: plastic baggies. To be clear, this is Signature Plastics doing this, not Drop. As spendey as their kits tend to get, you'd think there'd be some care taken in getting the product to the customer, or in this case to the vendor and THEN to the customer. Either way, solid keycaps, largely well-made outside of some sprue marks being taken out a touch too deep, satisfying texture and lovely colors. Plus, it's DSA, so if it fits, it sits: no worrying about row height!
