TL:DR - Overall a very mid experience. Not worth even the sale price I paid. My first impressions mean I'm probably not going to give Mito another chance moving forward.
I'm going to do this review in "unboxing" order.
*Shipped in "padded"yellow envelope. The bubble rap lining was very tired and barely offered any padding at all.
*Inside the envelope were two zip-lock bags(one for each of the sets I ordered). I'm all for reducing plastic waste, but packaging makes a difference. First impression was "wow, this looks cheap AF". With the exception of another "premium" set I got(which also came in a baggie), all of my Drop key sets have come in reusable packaging, even the $14 sets I have. Those might use more packaging, but it's not landfill. I've been reusing them to store my sets not currently in use. This Mito set used less packaging, and it all went right into the trash can, so that's landfill.
The presentation is so crap too. There was no excitement "unboxing" these. Just baggies with with a jumble of caps. Then there's the other "cheaper" sets I have. Comes in a box, slide out the tray, and all the keys are presented to you. Looks better and helps expedite swapping sets. Before I could mount these, I had to sort the jumble of keys they sent.
*Bringing us to this chipped key(see picture), a direct result of their shiznit packaging. Yeah, it's just a small bit of damage on a single key, but now that I know it's there I can't unsee it. It impacts my overall impression/enjoyment of this set, easily prevented by using more than the bare minimum of packaging.
*The keys themselves are why I even give these 3 stars. They're fine, I guess. A "slick" finish I'm not a huge fan of, but not a deal breaker either. Pleasant shape, rounded edges and corners. Colors a nice and rich for the most part. The cyan on purple of the Gaijin set really pop, and I do like that. Used the Obnet collection to complete my set.
Overall the they're fine. Not great, but not crap either. I bought these on what Drop is telling me, a "heavy discount", and I don't feel like they're even worth that much. To put these on, I just took off a mix 'n match of 2 different Drop branded Skylight "budget" sets. I think they were $19 when I bought them($25 now) and I enjoy them just as much, and those were presented in packaging I am still reusing! They aren't very fancy, and the quality/feel might not be up to the same level as these Mito ones, but my personal enjoyment of the budget Drop ones is about the same. Might even be more enjoyable, as those only cost me $19/$25 each for full sets. That's a factor for me.
Obviously these go have generally good reviews, so your mileage may vary. My opinion is very mid, meaning not worth the price to me.
Overall a good keycap set. The colorway is beautiful.
The spacebar is misaligned. I can only assume is from the factory mold. It's infuriating. I ordered two more and they're all they same. The bottom left of the spacebar rubs against the housing of my keyboard and makes it so it barely works.
I wasn't familiar with SA keys when i ordered these but i gave them a shot anyway, glad i did. They are smooth and sit up at a higher angle, makes typing much more comfy and the keys themselves are beautiful quality.
Got these on flash sale to get free shipping. Worth the full price, no. Was worth it for me to try out and see how I like the mono-height keys. They're a bit shiny and very hard/brittle feeling compared to other ABS caps. Get these only if you really like the tall caps and design, better options in mt3 profile.
Got these on sale and I'm a huge fan. These are my first "premium keycap" purchase since I've been using AMZ previously due to cost and availability. I can def feel the difference
