I love the feel of wooden products, the grain is nice and generally prefer a fine grain. The caps have a texture to them, might be off putting to some. They are nice looking caps for sure. Be aware their profile is a bit higher than most caps (I tried them on my WASD and typing became hellish), unless you want it only for gaming or something like that since they're raised. I find them great (as most probably will also) for the directional keys. I kind of like that they're higher so they stop my pinky when I am using the tiny shift (only thing I don't really care for on this keyboard, other than lack of tilde). The raised keys stop my finger and keep it from missing the little shift key.
The caps fit perfect on my switches. They feel very nice because of the wood texture on top of them. I really like typing with these little caps. I use them on my hjkl keys for vim.
Not bad product, I use them as my arrow keys and don't have any issue with them beyond the feeling. The feel is pretty scratchy and sharp edged on your finders, an unfinished feeling. Could stand a bit of a sanding down and maybe some kind of coating. Overall would recommend if it's just a couple of rarely used keys, a keyboard full of these would grind your fingers to the bone tho.
I got the zebrawood caps and they're all cut at a slight angle when sitting on a switch, like the base of the keycaps aren't squared properly. It gives them a hand-hewn, artisan feel which I don't mind. I have a fullsize board so the angle isn't super noticeable compared to the rest of the keys, but I would imagine it would stick out more and more the smaller the form factor you have. If you're looking for perfection in manufacturing or uniformity with your other keys I'd be a bit wary of the zebrawoods.
