These are brilliant looking key-caps with a great quality feel to them, they look excellent off a keyboard as well as on one. The plastic feels like it's made from a good quality and much smoother to the touch than I expected, something for me to get used to.
This product loses a star due to two things; an imperfection caused by molding and the packaging.
There are visible white marks and chunks on a number of the key-caps caused by what I assume to be the breaking/snapping of the key-cap out of their molds. If you've ever stretched/broken a plastic tab on a plastic model kit before, you will have seen the sort of damage I am referring to. A good number of the keys as a result have various sizes of small chunks taken out of them by this process. It's a small detail that you only notice holding the keys and looking at them. Thankfully though it's not noticeable on your keyboard, but it's a detail you certainly notice when you spend roughly $1.25usd per key-cap.
The other reason I deducted a star is the packaging. These came crammed in a small plastic zip lock bag. Again, it's a nitpick but this TKL set (plus the extras bought in another drop) cost around the same as a GMK drop I purchased. The difference is that came delivered in a cardboard sleeve with the caps kept in a plastic shell.
Below is a picture of the set on a Massdrop CTRL, a blue key with some of the worst damage and a black one with the average result I saw from the molding process.
Overall, a brilliantly designed key-cap set with a definite feel of quality to them, just don't expect perfection on the molding and packaging.
NinjamanAwayI have a SP keycap set (dsa legacy) and so does my friend (dcs midnight). We both have this issue as well. Seems to be a common thing for SP ABS keysets. It really is unfortunate but not the biggest deal because, yeah, as you said, you can't see it when it's on the board.
hananiasamaanHonestly, there are many where you can barely notice the damage, then there are others as seen in the picture that are really large and noticeable.
If it was consistently as small as some are, I wouldn't mind quite as much. But when you see just how clean the breakoff can be then you see ones like I have shown, then it kinda shows that it can be somewhat avoided.
As I said, it's a minor thing that is not noticeable in use. It also hard to avoid completely but based on what I have seen, large chunks of damage similar to the blue one are avoidable.
