Nice Keycaps for the Price

Considering the price of these keycaps, I think this is a solid product. I quite like the classy look of the legends, and it's a soft, pleasant color scheme. I'm not, personally, a huge fan of the feel of PBT keycaps (ABS boi over here), but they're decently thick and the legends seem uniform without any misprints. Although XDA isn't my favorite profile, it has its place (exotic layouts) and it's nice to have a decent, cheap option in a uniform profile like this. Things I'm not crazy about include the weird shape of the stepped caps lock key, and I don't like the weird image used for the arrow keys. I also would've preferred a few more novelty keys, preferably not food-oriented (I know it's "matcha," so what's included is at least thematic). Despite my complaints, I have to consider this in the context of the price. If I compare these to cheap no-name sets you can find on Amazon or eBay, these are pleasantly consistent and provide a complete kit. If you just want/need a cheap set of keycaps, these are great. In a vacuum, this is probably a 3/5, but within the context of the price it's an easy 5/5.

good quality for the price

I wanted a set of matcha keycaps and didn't want to spend much, and I'm very happy with these. No quality issues, they look nice, and they're tons of fun.

9.1mm height with some quality issues

I hate how the product description doesn't have the height of these keycaps. XDA v2 height is hard to find online but I measured these at 9.1mm in height and ~1.4mm in thickness. There is also some quality issues. 1) Some stems are tighter than others requiring extra force to put in / pull out so if you have a flex cut PCB or a soft plate be careful. 2) Some top edges / curved portion on the keycap are smaller/narrower than others (I found 9 / 87 in my set). They are not noticeable unless you turn your keyboard to the side and look down the rows. For cherry profile users with angled keyboards thinking about using these (MUST READ): If you are a lifetime cherry profile user like myself, moving to XDA is abit of an adoption. The main issue I have is when pressing keys on the QWERTY row, I can feel the edges of the row below it. My typing style is more of a glide rather than a claw with full up and down motion so constantly having my fingertips graze the top of another key is a major distraction. Again, this is due to the 7% typing angle of my keyboard which cannot be changed. Users who do not have angled keyboards won't have this issue. Tips: Do note use these on an angled keyboard, they work best when the keyboard is flat!

Several malformed stems that I needed to manually correct.

I had to file out some errant plastic inside the stem of the keycaps on a few different keys. On the right is a bad keycap (I think the O key in this case), and a good one (P). And in the top left is some dog hair. It's not the end of the world, but shows a lapse in QA and quality in general. The keycaps are otherwise good for the money, but if these had just a bit more plastic inside the stem, I'm not sure I would have been able to dig it out and it could have rendered the keycap unusable.

Affordable Quality!

I love this set, I have sets that set me back $120+ and their quality is questionable, but for just $30 these look great, feel great, and mine came in without any defects or damage that I can detect. AND they’re not cherry! I could have done without the Japanese, but that’s just a preference. I would recommend these to anyone who’s going for a kind of earth green aesthetic.

Great Beginner Set

I bought this set as my first set of keycaps to give it a try, since they're a nice color combo and pretty inexpensive! I found them very easy to work with, and quite comfortable to type on. Cute optional keys, too.

Just great

Nice print quality, colors, and smoothness. I pair them with my lubed tealios and a very flat angled keyboard, and enjoy them more than my gmk or mt3 caps.
