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.

I really love these keycaps omg they're so cute!!! They feel really nice, I'm glad they have a bit of texture on the tops bc it makes them feel less slippery (a problem I had with other keycaps I got from another company previously). I didn't realize the right shift on my keyboard is a 1.75u size instead of the larger size this one comes with, so I also ordered the nonstandard icon mods kit which is thankfully much cheaper than the base kit so I'm excited for when those come in too!
DSA Astrolokeys is one of the few in-stock Signature Plastics DSA keycap sets available. DSA is a keycap profile with uniform keys, meaning most 1U keys are interchangeable without disrupting your typing.
Whether you enjoy Astrolokeys is solely based on whether you like the legends and colorways. Unfortunately, the text mods only cover your typical TKL layout, so anyone with a 1.75u Shift layout will have to use a novelty Shift.
I bought these keycaps for a pink build, and they came out so pretty. Unfortunately, I did not realize that the base kit did not come with a 1.75U Right Shift with the Base Kit (bummer, in my opinion, it should already be included). So if you're like me and building on a 65% and need the 1.75U Right Shift, then don't forget to include the Nonstandard Icons Mods.
I got these keycaps for my purple themed gaming station. These pair really well with the matching purple mats. I like the slightly rough texture of the keycaps, as they help with my typing accuracy. The even heights of the keycaps gives my keyboard a really neat, organized look. Highly recommend.
The set came with duplicate "L" and "U" but without "F" and "O" keys. And the support does not reply until now after 2 days. In addition, the "J" does not have the little convex and make the overall handling really bad for blind typing. It is a product which only comes with great appearance but poor quality. Not recommend for sure...
I was horrified to discovered that they were shipped all thrown together in one plastic baggy. Over half (most) of the keycaps are chipped. Ridiculous. Not a single ounce of care for a product that cost $95. I learned my lesson.
jwise1596Thanks for the review. This is (unfortunately) how the manufacturer ships their keycaps. It's the same for all DSA and SA keycaps. At the moment the Astrolokeys are not available in other profiles, however if you shop other colorways most keycap profiles/manufacturers (GMK, MT3, DCX etc) ship with proper retail package.
