The low-profile is just fine. It's the exact same keyboard just one has the keycaps lowered, the other doesnt. I would not spend the money if I were you.
The keycaps are great. Just don't make the same mistakes I did:
If you are in Canada, prepare to pay around $20 to $30 extra on import customs.
If you have a TOFU65 keyboard from KBDFANS then the following keys in this 65% set will not work for you: right ALT, right CONTROL, Fn. Also, PgUp, PgDn, Home, Delete have the wrong profile for the TOFU65. You'll need some 1x1 novelty keys or something to make this work...
Not quite sure what to do at this point :) should have paid more attention before ordering. Great keycaps though.
Removing one star because I feel like, at this price, they could have included a few more novelty or 1x1 keys to help out folks who have slightly different layouts.
InstantdopppelgangerYup, I did eventually map these based on the profiles. Works great. I've ordered the full set with novelties. It was recently dropped again. I'll try to sell this set once that arrives.

I bought my set in the beginning of July, and received it mid December. The lack of updates per delay were definitely upsetting and we weren't given anything to go off of other than the *expected* shipping dates due to Germany's lockdowns, thus delaying the shipping dates. My suggestion is to wait a little longer (if the delays continue) because you may not get your set for a very long time :(
That being said -
-This set is amazing, worth the money 100%. People are reviewing this cap set and saying amazing things, so please read those as well. However I see a fair amount of folks talking about how expensive they are. I'm really not too sure what they expect from the highest quality-standard keycaps on the market in addition to the fact that $100 for a GMK cap set isn't that much..? Especially in the aftermarket pricings, a lot of GMK sets can double even triple in prices over time, so paying $100 flat for a full set really isn't much to complain about. In fact, if you care so much, you can buy a very well made keycap set for 20$ on mechanicalkeyboards :^)
-You buy these caps as a collector, an enthusiast and as someone who wants their build to stand out from your standard run-of-the-mill board you can find anywhere else.
The quality is unmatched, GMK is the best of the best in terms of this. The subtle Japanese alphabet under the the standard Alphas and numbers, the color combination of gold on red, gold on black, and optional red on gold for your Enter, escape, (etc etc) keys make it appealing to look at and appreciate the overall design.
-Yes this is practically your introduction to GMK caps, there are many many many other sets you can buy, however as a starter set, you truly can't go wrong with these.
My only issues are that this specific set isn't compatible with 60% (and other) board layouts. It's DROP specific, so mainly all your standard full and TKL layouts will fit just fine. I say "fit" but what I really mean is some of the keys are taller than the others. On a TKL your Insert, Home, Page Up (and so on) are taller than the keys below it. Perhaps it's due to the selection of the size I ordered back in July but I've forgotten if there even was an option lol. I put the same set on my 65% and said keys didn't match the sizing of the others, making it look a tad uneven :( so I'll be keeping them on my TKL I suppose!
So to wrap this all up and give you a TL;DR, buy this set. It's worth your money, inexpensive for a GMK set since it's available for re-purchasing, the build quality is perfection, the color layout is immensely satisfying to look at and it makes your board sound a tad bit better alongside making it look unlike all your friend's :)
Really love the style of these.
Love GMK. As long as the sets from Drop offer all the keycaps that you need, its a great price. I accidentally ordered the base set and not the othelinear, but luckily there was enough to cover it
