Sound good too

These feel great, if you want softer silicone keycaps, which are a nice change. What's crazy is that they actually sound pretty good too.

they feel great but mostly for looks

Not something I would use for an everyday board but they look fantastic. I bought the green set for my YMDK split 64. they look fantastic on it, and my buddy is going to dye the board a green to match the keys. The only thing I am worried about is maybe some fading if you plan on using them on a board you use a lot. I talked to someone who had them and says after a while they didn't really fade away but the brightness of the wording kind of fell away a bit. other than that I am using them on a board I am going to throw up on my display shelf so not a big deal for me. Just be careful if you plan on throwing them on one for say a gaming board or something along those lines

Love the sound profile

When I purchased these, I didn't really know what to expect. I thought at first these would be incredibly mushy and flexible, which doesn't sound like a great typing experience but I just wanted to see what these were all about. I was totally surprised. For one, they don't feel mushy like I expected. The silicone wraps over a thin, rigid keycap. The impressive part for me is how this affects the sound. It's very muted and without hurting the feel like o-rings on the switch stem would (squishy nastiness). I'm using these with Boba UT4 in a Portico and they feel awesome, sound awesome, and I am just really pleased with the result. They have a smooth surface without feeling slick like ABS can get once you've worn it in. I also really like the profile. SA is too tall for me and this seems like just a shortened SA. The amount of layouts that this supports is awesome - 65%, 75%, etc. You get some alternate color arrow keys as well. The way it is boxed is really nice with a place for each keycap. It's just a ton of value for the money. The only reason I couldn't make this 5 stars was a quality control issue - for some reason the space bar had some bumps/ridges on it and a small gouge, which on a perfectly smooth keycap is hard to ignore (and it's right where I rest my right thumb). I'll update to a 5 if that can be sorted out. Would highly recommend giving these a try. I'm probably gonna get another set.

Outstanding value

Bought on a whim due to low price and liking the profile style of these caps. First they're sculpted very nicely and the rubber feels quite nice. I decided to try them on a modded K2v2 that had PBT caps on it and sounded very nice. After installing these caps though this board now sounds like manna from heaven. Never before have I experienced such a profound and pleasing change from a set of caps. I obviously don't know how they'll age but considering they're less than $50 idc if they need replaced from time to time. Now Skyloong just has to put out some more colorways please.

Good for the price and nice to type on and look at

I'm currently writing this review using these keycaps. After reading the first reviews that stated the silicone sleeve fell off, I was a bit scared, but I still have to see such problem on my set. The sleeve comes off, that's true, but only if you remove it yourself. It won't come off on its own. That said, the experience is being quite nice for me. As the interior is plastic, these keycaps won't work the same way dampeners would, but they actually help a bit. I'm using them on Gateron yellows and the typing experience is very nice. The main disadvantage with silicone keycaps (I know a bit, since I was, and still am, the owner of a ZX Spectrum) is that they tend to collect a bit of dust and every single little hair around. You'll have to clean them more that any other keycaps, but I think they are worth it. They are very nice and soft to the touch and won't become shinier and shinier over time. The legends won't easily wear, either. I have the black, gray and red combination and it looks great. It gives my keyboard a very nice retro look. Keep in mind that, even if the top is silicone, the plastic interior is not see-through, so you won't see any light from the led's if you have them. I do but I don't care. I fell in love with the design, the color combination and the silicone, and I don't regret buying this set. Besides the keys, you get a cheap keycap puller and a few extras, such as keys for Mac, which you don't get with other sets. All in all, it's a very nice set you'll fall in love with. I don't get tired of typing on these keys. I specially love the extra grip the silicone adds, which is great for both gaming and typing.

Utterly Cursed

Take everything you know about traditional keycaps and completely throw it out the window. The legends are fuzzy. As if someone turned up a sharpness filter in your eyes IRL. The key feel is the exact opposite of smooth. Like every key is smeared in grease wants to stick to your fingers. The sound profile is clacky. Every single key has a muffled echo when you press down a switch like you forgot to lube your springs. This all come together in a package that... isn't terrible. I have concerns about how long the silicone will last, but these are a great set to experiment with if you want try out something truly unique.

Great keycaps, but not for everyday use

To start, I've had these for almost a year and have used them on my main board (edit: mostly used for gaming) for most of that time. They are not the best for typing. Still to this day, I will hit the edge of the wrong key and because of the texture, I can't quickly adjust and end up hitting two keys. They are fine for short typing, but I would rather use a cheap abs or pbt set, just for texture alone. If you have greasy hands, you will get greasy keys, so wash your hands. On the positive side, they are the best keycaps I have used for gaming. My fingers stay planted on the keys I need. The colors, sound, and feel are great in my opinion, especially for the price. They are easy to wash, I just peel off the silicone top and rub them in a bucket with a light degreaser. I have done this twice and they show no signs of wear. I haven't had any issues with CQ or the caps wearing down. If you need one set of keycaps to do everything and most of your everything is typing, I would say to look elsewhere, but if mostly play games, or have a dedicated board for gaming you should consider these.

Average, but good

I am an accountant and I use these on my work keyboard. The little bit of grip the silicone provides is great for when I am working on large amounts of data entry. As someone else has already commented, they are just very cheap keycaps with a silicone cover on them. I think the silicone portion is very well made and looks really nice. Time will tell how long the silicone actually holds up with heavy use.
