Be weary before you buy these...
As awesome as these may appear, getting these were personally my worst keyboard related decision ever. For better or worse, these keys are heavy and basically feel for the lack of a better word, "dead". They make typing/ bottoming out a key significantly louder vs plastic keycaps. Also, they do not have indentations on the F/J keys to help you touch typers "find" the home keys with your index fingers.
Definitely a no go in my book for typing or coding. I found myself bottoming out frequently no matter how hard I try with blue/ brown switches. For the record, my keystroke ends at the tactile click. You might have more luck using these with gaming oriented switches.
PROTIP/ HINT: because the keys are made out of zinc, they might become/ you might receive a keycap that fits loose/ too tight. You can easily fix this by using needle-nose pliers/ a screwdriver to slightly squeeze/widen the 4 splayed ends that fit the switch.
Also, the plating wears thin and chips eventually with eventual wear and tear. If you notice it early enough, you can seal it with clear nailpolish.
Here's my majestouch rocking said keys when I first got them from a geekhack groupbuy while back:
