Great light distribution for "North" LED keyswitches
I've been using these white pudding-style keycaps now for approximately three months. Because I bought the white ones, I figured I should give it some time to see if the plastic discolored or stained or otherwise became "yucky-looking" after a few months of pretty regular use (and, I'll admit, eating at the keyboard with moderate care to keep fingers clean.) The result? The tops are still white and bright.Next, I was concerned with the materials. They're slightly thicker than most "budget-friendly" PBT keycaps described as "thick" which makes for a more satisfying keyboard sound to me—but I'm not sure you'd notice that unless you have a pretty heavy/solid keyboard deck. Probably the reason for it is that shine-through double-shot PBT keycaps are not made with PBT exclusively. The white plastic is PBT. The milky semi-opaque stuff is another kind of plastic. That's true of all shine-through keycaps due to the nature of PBT, but in a pudding keycap the plastic needs to be just slightly thicker. I see it as a win. But because there are two plastics and less mating surface, I wanted to make sure the materials and their bond to each other were holding up—they are!The font is not overly "gamery", but there are tasteful stencil cuts in letters like A, Q, O, P, etc. but they don't stand out. The "gamer" font with bold thick letters and large stencil cuts is used on many keyboards because it's an inexpensive way to get quality results. These keycaps achieve them without doing that, suggesting a little more precision in the molding process. The punctuation keys are slightly dimmer than the others on the tops as you'd expect, but they're all bright on the sides except for the space bar, and that only because my keyboard has one solitary space bar LED in the center. If you've got three or more in yours, the whole thing will light up.So far I've described these as overwhelmingly five star keycaps … is there any downside? Yes, one. I can feel but not see some of the places the sprue was attached to the bottoms some keycaps. It's one of those things that is there if you know to feel for it—it's definitely present and visible on cheaper keycaps. You won't notice it while using the keyboard, but might when removing the keycaps for a deep cleaning.On the whole, I'm impressed with these, especially because I know what some folks pay for thick ABS keycaps with any better fit and finish than these have.

Really Lets LED Backlighting POP!
The media could not be loaded. Super easy to pop on and off, and as you can see I used some other keys for the F9-11 keys as a visual reminder for Fn shortcuts. Overall really impressed with these keys. They don’t feel thin or like the text will fade with time. Overall I would be a little happier if the ins/home/pgup/pgdwn/end/delete buttons matched the original keys for the phantom+ more but I’m not so attached to it that I’ll give them a lower rating for it. Also happy to have them so if any of my keys do end up breaking for some reason, I have backup switches and keycaps for all of the possible keys. Will lose the LED lighting coming out as as much of a pop but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ better than broken keyboard. They had some extra keys that I wasn’t sure how it would fit on my keyboard, like a very short shift button, and an extra large enter button it looked like? I couldn’t figure out where they were supposed to fit so I skipped them over.

Not too bad for a cheap set of massed produced keycap set...
Got this set to replace my Razer Phantom set where the surface began to shine from wear and tear. The only only keycap that got stuck was the 4 key below the function row. To fix the sticking part of the 4 key I had to put in some diy and shave down a bit of the white injection molding at the top portion of the keycap to get it to function properly on my Huntsman TKL without getting stuck.An immediate noticeable difference between the Tecware PBT keycap set and my old Razer Phantom keycap set was the keycap legends. The legends on the Tecware PBT keycap set are incredibly clean in comparison to the Razer Phantom keycap set where it was pretty blurry even at full brightness.Another noticeable difference between this Tecware PBT keycap set and my previous Razer Phantom keycap set is the increase in typing sounds when you bottom out the keys. On my previous Razer Phantom keycap set the keyboard would be near silent with no "thock" sound, where as with the Tecware PBT keycap set you can actually hear the keys bottom out with an audible "thock" sound. I actually prefer the sound of Razer Phantom keycap set where the typing noise was inaudible.Overall besides having to do some diy to fix one single keycap I satisfied with my purchase.

Exact match for OEM Drop keycaps
These are exactly the same keycaps that come with the likes of Drop CTRL and ALT. Same material, same thickness, same everything, which makes me think that Tecware is a keycap vendor that Drop uses. Excellent caps, especially for the money....Well, there's one key that is different from the Drop's variety though... it's a space bar. Unlike OE Drop, Tecware branded space bar has a proper shine-through inset.In short, if your keyboard has North facing LEDs and you want a set of proper shine-through caps, get these.

Bang for your buck
I have the Apex Pro TKL and it comes with stock ABS keycaps (terrible and leaves finger prints) so I wanted to upgrade to a double shot pbt keycap set. This is an amazing set and has a very pleasing colorway. I enjoy using it and do recommend it to others. Great build quality as well.
