Mine arrived weeks ago. Never have time to share it here but now that I do, there is a caveat with the shift keys on one particular keyboard of mine. I am using these keycaps on my Compaq MX 11800 keyboard and the right shift key has a weird size that not even 3 closer types that came with the set would fit in that gap.
The middle key is from Compaq, and the others are part of the set that comes closer to the middle cap's size.

However, I tried using the bottom key (from the pic) once more and it seem to fit into the gap, though the stabiliser stems on each side are not used due to the size of the cap. But this didn't interfered they key's actuation travel, so this seemed all good for now. All I need to do is to snug the cap onto the switch's stem and, again, all good for now.
And for those who are interested, here's something different for once. Modern caps on a retro keyboard. Note the gaps on the right shift key, as I explained earlier. Lighting was at dusk but enough for the shoot I had to do under natural lighting.

As for the caps; overall, I am impressed on the moulding and the double-shot quality for my 1st ever purchase of a keycap set. And glad I got the extras just in case I have keyboards like this with non-standard keys.
