Looks in person way better!

The quality of those is definitely high level, maybe even comparable with GMK. The colors are exactly how I wanted them, the weird thing is that they look a bit better in person than on the product pictures. But Short tip, use a white Keyboard case, maybe HHKB would look amazing too. It's just the perfect Keycap set for me. I like the colors, the material and the quality, the design with the big font. This was actually my first MT3 keycap set, but I can say with confidence it won't be my last. It is absolutely super comfortable to type and it has a clean look.

Color wise, this is my favorite MT3 profile drop keycap set. I got the ortho kit for my planck. I have 3 others and this is as excellent as the rest of em. Very thick, quality materials, clean molds, nice texture, and I love the extra concave F&J index keys. I cant overstate how much I love the mt3 profile, it works well on flat or inclined boards. These are definitely some of the highest quality caps on the market. On the ortho kit i didn’t get the RSE and LWR keys? Little bonus of my build - Glorious lynx switches match the legends perfect!

Nice caps for the price

I got the base kit and it looks and feels plenty fine to me. No issues with fit or finish so far. They're a bit different from SP SA profile... Biggest difference is probably the bottom row which is sculpted rather than being flat. Personally I'm not a fan of this as it makes it easy to accidentally strike them, so I'm taking off a star for that. But they do look very nice in this colorway. Pick them up on sale, or pass if you don't like SA/high pro.

Love these

Lots of people compare these to other color ways so I’ll follow that trend. In my mind, this is probably as close to a Synthwave MT3 set as we’ll probably get so I preordered as soon as my next Keyboard Club discount arrived. As is typical, it was hit with a couple of delays but they were only late by a month so in the big picture, not that big a deal. I had my eye on a TM680 and bought the tiffany color specifically in hopes of matching this keycap set. That was a gamble that paid off! It looks amazing and I can whole heartedly recommend it for any other similar colored boards. No interference on my Box Royal switches and great thocky sounds. My only complaints are the same ones I have for some of these recent Drop sets. The lack of accent keys is puzzling (no accented enter key or space bar?), the lack of unique novelty keys is disappointing (but that could be rectified with a later run right Drop? Hint hint) and I’d personally prefer PBT to ABS. No other downsides for me. MT3 is my favorite profile and this is just another great example of why.

Best colors in the best profile, wish it had F13 or any other R0 keycap to fill the gap

You either like tall profile keycaps, or you don't. But if you do (or don't know if you do) this is a wonderful keycap set. The only downside to this (and many other MT3 sets) is that it doesn't come with an F13 key, which are increasingly common on custom TKLs.

Shit just got dark, yo.

I'd been waiting for a dark MT3 set with a hint of color:

This seems like a tricky colorway to photograph on a smartphone as many of the pics I am seeing out there of them seem over-exposed and/or oversaturated. They really are a dark blue, which, given the name Dusk, they really ought to be. However, I'm just going to keep repeating how much we need to get Row 5 in ABS MT3 sets. While I took the pictures above with all the keys in their normal orientation, I still have to at least invert the spacebar and Raise/Lower keys so as not to hurt my poor tender, tender thumbs. Until that happens, I can't rate an MT3 ABS set higher than three stars however nice they may look. Ultimately, a keyboard is a thing of utility for me. It's not enough that they're pretty. Seriously, if you haven't tried MT3 in PBT with Row 5, stop reading this and go buy something like MT3 Extended 2048 or /dev/tty Custom (or both, below).

Great MT3 profile set with a uniform color

If you like the MT3 profile and are looking for a less flashy set with a uniform color, this is a good option. The base color is dark enough to not be flashy yet distinctly blue enough to not look like a black keycap set. Two minor complaints:

Some of the legends have inconsistent letter width (for example, the letters on the delete key from the base kit are noticeably thicker than those on the R0 delete key in the hobbyist kit)
Would be nice if the base kit included some more R0 keys for better compatibility with some 65% and 75% layouts

Nice set, but lacking

The blue is a nice dark navy, it fits with the legends nicely. My only complain is that the accent kit is lacking, no R1 Esc for 65% layouts, no Enter, no Space bar. Accent usually means at least Ecs and Enter, some times Spacebar, if you use this set for a 65% keyboard you get nothing of those, zero out of 3. but you get HJKL, why? and then you have some random Alt, Win logo, Android(??) logo and Fn, all in 1.5u! why? The is little reason to buy the Accent set for 30 bucks if you want actual accents, specially if you use it on a 65%, zero reason. Here is it with my Navy Neo65

Beautiful but weak.

The MT3 dusk keycap set was practically my endgame. On my ultramarine klippe it just made the keyboard have this incredible blue pop that I absolutely adore. I don't think I need to go into much detail, I'll let my pictures of the board speak for themselves. Overall I enjoy the MT3 profile. Cherry has always felt unsubstantial to me and I've always sought after a very deep press, SA profile is too high and so MT3 fits the middle ground very nicely. Coupled with some spring swapped Everglide Aquamarines i have found my secret sauce, which is the greatest feeling someone can have when they set out on the keyboard journey. I play many games, and getting a higher profile for gaming purposes was a bit of a leap of faith since hardly anything discussing MT3 and gaming has been published. I primarily play counterstrike and found the profile to be super nice for it. My A,D,A,D strafing feels super clean and very consistent, so much so that when I hop on another keyboard I feel sort of wonky. Other games like Apex Legends, CoD, Cyberpunk, Destiny, Doom, feel great to me. I myself prioritize movement in games and thus my relationship to the keyboard is emphasized since it usually revolves around some pattern of key pressing. Of course typing is nice, all my essays are made just slightly more enjoyable, and the cupped feeling is quite fun. HOWEVER…221 days later at the time of writing this, the keycaps have begun to deteriorate at an alarming pace. Externally they look fine, the paint or whatever sort of coating still looks flawless, but the inside is beginning to crack. Per my attached photos the stems (the part that goes into the switch stem) are breaking off. This is literally just plain and simply unacceptable. I have had a very long keyboard journey, one that started with the worst and cheapest of keyboards. Even with worse keyboards I have never, not once, encountered this kind of an issue after years of use. It is not even close to being a year later and the keycaps are on their way to becoming unusable. The stability on two of my keys has begun to become wobbly. Like I said before, this is just very bad. I am not sure if this is an isolated case, but it is very annoying since I will probably end up buying another set in the future. By that time I hope the issue has been rooted out in the manufacturing process. Regardless of the glaring flaw, the set is beautiful and I have gotten a lot of pleasure from using it. I am docking 2 stars in total. 1 because I am annoyed at the caps breaking, and 2 because I now will have to buy another.

From Dusk till Dawn, these keycaps look amazing!

I was very impressed with the level of saturation in the MT3 Dusk keycaps from DROP. The ocean blue with light blue accents is very rich and consistent throughout. The legends are crisp and are easily visible in low lighting. If I had any comments, it would be that these show dirt/lint VERY easily. I felt like they were covered in a fine layer of white dust when they arrived. I washed and blow dried them off, and they looked much better, but after a bit, it was easy to see dirt/lint again. Not a huge concern, especially if you keep your keyboards clean. All in all, I would absolutely recommend!
