Pretty good keycaps at a phenomenal price. [4.5 Stars]
Pros:- Surprisingly well printed. While I can't speak to longevity yet, the legends/designs are printed straight. I've paid $80 for keycaps with crooked printing on a few keys so getting this quality for half that is amazing.- They sound better than I thought they would. While they don't have the solid 'thock' I get from thicker caps (like my Big Bang MDA set) they still have a satisfyingly deep sound. Even on something clicky like BOX Whites.- Works pretty well for an Ortholinear board even though it's set-up to go on something a little more standard. You get enough 1u novelty caps to fill out the function keys really nicely.- This might be a weird one to highlight but the box they come in is super useful for keeping a set of caps in. So much easier than having to load them in the rows of a plastic bag (like a lot of sets come).- True XDA profile. A lot of the XDA caps on Amazon are actually XDAS caps. The profiles are very similar but different enough to be noticeable if you ever want to mix this set with another.Cons:- They're not all perfectly square. Warping is pretty normal when it comes to cheaper keycaps so I'm not really upset about it I do need to note it because it's noticeable on quite a few keys. You can see what I mean if you look at the bottom row in my photo.- The included keycap puller doesn't work. Apparently the other person that reviewed these got a ring pull but I actually received these with a wire puller. I was initially quite excited about this but here's the thing... It doesn't work. The arms are bent too narrow and won't actually go under the keycaps. I'll continue to use my aftermarket cap puller.Nit Picks:- They're not as white as the photos would have you believe. They're more like an Eggshell rather than a straight white. Again, kind of a minor complaint but I thought I should point it out.- The kana on the keys are a tad smaller than I would prefer. They coulda bumped it up a few sizes and still been fine.- I wish there were more 2u keys. This is definitely only an issue for people using non-standard keyboards. I run a 2x2u spacebar layout and I'm just going to buy a couple of 2u XDA spacebars and be done with it. The ones in the photo are from an OEM set I had laying around.- Needs more Doge keys. Always. More. Doge.

Super cute, good print quality, highly recommended. Don't use provided keycap puller.
I love these keycaps. They're super cute, they feel good, the homing bars are nice and comfortable, the print quality is good, and did I mention they're cute?They have a nice smooth satin feel to them. They are not as textured as blank PBT keycaps.The worst part is choosing which doggies go where!Actual criticisms: Some of the keys still have some mold flashing. Not a problem, just scrape them off with a fingernail. Some of them have some warping or rough edges at the very bottom, as seen in the picture. Again, not a big deal, I'll never notice them.I wish there were more novelty keys and some 1.5u novelty keys, but that's ok.I would discourage using the provided keycap puller; it's a plastic ring-style puller and it was tight and scuffed up the sides of the first of the old keycaps I pulled off. I switched to my wire keycap puller after that. No big deal, I was going to throw away the old cheapo caps I pulled off anyway, but something to keep in mind if you want to reuse your old keycaps.

Cute but lower quality
A few keys are a bit warped and there are little pieces of plastic along edges from production. Overall it’s super cute set that I am very happy with.
