Got these yesterday and just put them on my Planck. The keys aren't super thick, but that was how they were advertised. I like the feel of the keys - they seem to enhance the tactility of my switches vs thick PBT keycaps. The backlight shines through some on the white and pink keys (not using any of the green keys). I have purple backlighting, so makes for a pretty cool effect.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with these. The only issue is that I don't ever use my Planck any more, so will need to use it more to show these off.

Pretty happy with these caps, they look clean and crisp and all keys on the bottom 2 rows being R4 gives a lot more flexibility than you might expect. Haven't typed a whole lot on them yet, but they're pretty comfortable so far. Great buy for the price!

I ordered the blanks set and am extremely pleased. I thought the colors were true to the renders (although that may say more about my screen than anything else) and they look really sharp - I've gotten quite a few complements. The OEM profile feels great - my first time with this profile and it is a very pleasant surprise, especially after hearing so much "meh" about it. I dare say, I may like it better than cherry.
A few of the caps had a few minor blemishes on the back of the keycap. They neither effect function nor aesthetics, so it is almost not worth mentioning. If the set cost GMK prices I might be disappointed on the principle of the matter, but for the very nice price-point of this set I can't complain. The quality and feel of the PBT feels on par with SP/PMK to me (although I don't consider myself an expert in this area) in terms of having just the right balance of texture.
All in all, this sure is a cute set of keycaps.

Blemish visible in the bottom left. I saw this on may 5-6 caps or so, always on the back, and it does not effect the function or feel.

LiquidchileDid the blank come with the purple keycaps shown in the extra colors picture? Not that it's make or break for me, I just really want them. haha

MuadDibNo, purple was not part of round 1 at all - it is new in round 2. It is not clear if the blank set will include purple in round 2 or not.... Let's hope it is included; if so, I may join again as the purple is pretty sweet indeed!

Super solid caps, very good value for either a Plank or a let's split. I used them on my custom modified let's split: It's nice to have modifiers that are distinct enough to recognize but not labeled in a way that you couldn't use them for strange things if you're into that.

Great keyset limited by it's profile. You have so many awesome novelties/modifiers that will go unused because they are restricted to specific rows.
Quality is far better than what I anticipated.

Wow, both are sweet. I dig the layout of the blue/purple/yellow. Still very new to this; where did you get those keycaps?

They are heavy duty, but I do not like the texture or the shape and sound of them. They are good quality but not pleasant to type on for me.

Got these a few days ago, really impressed with the cap quality. Much nicer than expected. The green seems like it has less pigment than the other colors, as in that color looks thinner than the others and allows some LED backlighting through, which happens to work great on my planck. My only critique is the dye sublimation could be a hair more crisp… but that's being very nitpicky, I'm sure most people wouldn't even call that to attention. I love the thickness of these caps (1.5mm). The texture is nice too, good grip but not to the point where it feels like sandpaper. Great value overall. I'd like to see more offerings like this…
