Great quality keycaps at a great price
You don't have to drop a hundred dollars on key caps to get something that looks and feels good. If you're reading this review you probably want caps that fit, feel good, and look sleek. These fit the bill. I've had them on my keyboard for over a year and am very happy with the purchase. Every few months I soak them in soapy water and they come out looking good as new. There has been no signs of wear. The accent caps are a nice touch too.

Great keycaps
Work great with my asus rog azoth. They don't get too greasy and look great. Only issue is with the shine through. It could be better, it makes the light very dim, but I normally use my keyboard without backlighting.

Good quality for the price, but let down by minor inconsistencies
The media could not be loaded. I am new to the world of custom keyboards. I recently purchased a Royal Kludge RK-M75 75% keyboard and a EPOMAKER TH21 numpad. I bought both the BOW and WOB sets of these PBT keycaps with the goal of creating an aesthetic of white with black accents.Pros:- solid keycaps, none of them were cracked, all have good textured surfaces that feel like PBT rather than ABS (?)- legends are printed in the same location consistently- heights seem uniform on the Cherry profile- good consistency between both batches - was able to mix keycaps from both- good number of duplicate keys and keys for different lengths of the function buttons (Ctrl, Shift, etc).- good selection of keys in the contrasting color (Esc, F5-8, spacebar, backspace, enter, arrow keys).- decent sound (? I feel that commenting on sound is difficult since keyboard sound is a combination of multiple elements)Cons- the legends for Tab, Caps Lock, Shift, Ctrl, and Win (on the left bottom corner) are printed such that the first letter looks different and stands out from the other letters. I don't know why only these keys are affected, because other keys such as the smaller Ctrl or Shift look normal (ie the entire word looks to be of the same font). Interestingly, this was a problem in the BOW set, but not the WOB set - and that was my workaround, to replace these keys with the WOB versions.- there are differences in the weighting of the legend lettering between function keys. For example in my WOB set, there were two identical "Win" keys, but one of them appeared slightly more bolded than the other. I had to dig around to try to find function keys with letter weights that looked similar, but was not completely successful. Right now, my left Shift key has a noticeably lighter letter weight than the other keys.- minor legend printing imperfection on the numpad 8 - some bleed through (see picture)- this only matters if you're mixing batches like me - for some reason, the numbers for the numpad are printed on the left corner for the BOW set, but in the center for the WOB set. Also, the letter keys in the WOB set appear more bolded than the BOW set.- need to purchase the contrasting set if you want to have WASD and the Numlock button stand out.- keycaps came in bags and not trays, so I had to dig for the keys I wantedOverall: as my intro to the world of keyboard modding, I didn't want to invest too much, and wanted to see what I could get on a budget. For around $30 per set, these are decent. At the very least, they appear to be rather durable and should last a while. It has consistency issues with legends which can be frustrating if you're very particular about it. But for me, during daily use, since I just sit down and start typing without scrutinizing my keycaps, these inconsistencies don't matter very much to me. Also, they're $22 a set...What matters the most to me is having the black-on-white accent design that can be appreciated from far and complements my desk setup. These were $22 a set which is pretty cheap. I can't really justify spending almost $100 for either two Drop DCX BOW and WOB sets (which are ABS rather than PBT), a GMK Monochrome R2 (whose legend font I'm not a huge fan of), or two Glorious GPBT keycap sets (I have to say though, I really like the legends). Someday I might upgrade to the Glorious GPBT, but I think I'll be happy with these for a while.

Great keycaps
They’re printed beautifully and I haven’t noticed any flaws with the letters. I use them with gecko silent switches and they feel amazing to type with. All of the keys were there as well. Been using them for some months now and there’s still no sign of wear. Great keycaps for the price.

Missing keycaps, not new-in-box
These keycaps fit great on the "Cherry MX 2.0S Wired Gaming Keyboard" with silent cherry switches. I purposely chose more traditional looking keycaps because I disliked the robotic-ish font that came on the default keycaps. I ended up not liking the font size on the larger keys in this set however (backspace, tab, capslock, shift, ctrl, win), and wish the font size used was the same size as the numlock key or even the function key (which oddly enough is the same physical size as the ctrl, win, & alt keys but a smaller font size). The font size isn't as large as what I've seen on many of the keycaps listed on Amazon though and I don't mind keeping the keycaps despite this.The keycaps do not allow the backlight to shine through, but that was another reason I chose this set. The default keycaps allowed light through the lettering but I could feel the texture of the lettering on my fingertips because of this. I want to touch a smooth surface and not be distracted by the lettering so just be aware of what you're looking for. My keyboard still allows plenty of backlight through around the edges of the keys.The reason my rating isn't higher is because the keys arrived in plastic baggies inside a cardboard box. The box wasn't sealed, it was bowed in the middle (indicating the baggies had been taken out before and weren't placed back into the box properly), and the baggie containing the main keycaps was very wrinkly(?) as if they've had a lot of handling. The baggies containing the supplemental keycaps were very smooth and looked as if they've never been touched, completely different than the other baggie. The keycaps appear new but the packaging says otherwise. I installed them and found 2 keycaps were missing, the 2 in the number row and the F10. There were some keycaps included that don't exist on American keyboards and aren't in the product photos, again indicating the package I received was not new-in-box and perhaps has even been mixed with other sets.I'm ordering a second set to obtain the missing keys and returning this one. Hopefully it's actually the new set I'm paying for and isn't missing anything, otherwise I'll be dropping this review to 1 star as it's no longer a "one off" at that point.
