OK value for dollar but better quality for not much more alternative exist
These all in all are OK. I didn't exactly have high expectations heading in but needed something readily available to put onto a friend's keyboard I was modding/repairing. Plastics feel very lightweight compared to ePBT or GMK. I don't have calipers to measure the thickness but given how noticeably light these feel in hand, I suspect they're on the thin side. Legends are easy to reed but up close there's definitely some fuzziness to the legends. Not huge on the icon only modifiers either.Also note that these don't include a stepped caps. My fault for not looking at the photos of the kitting more closely but at nearly 130 keys I just sort of assumed it'd be in there when I tossed these into my shopping cart. But nope, it doesn't. Annoying as that makes my need for these keys in the first place a bit moot as this board was built w/ stepped caps. A somewhat odd omission to me as it includes a fairly decent selection of navigation keys at various row profiles.All in all these are fine. They're not great, but they're not outright awful. I think for the money I'd recommend most folks if able to spend a little bit extra and look at options from makers like ePBT, but if that's outside your budget, these are fine. They're perfectly serviceable.

Get What You Pay For
These keycaps are very much a budget set of keycaps, so corners are going to be cut inevitably to make these more accessible.Some positives, they are a more true white than even something more robust like GMK, which ends up being ever so slightly off-white. It also has the GMK-esque Helvetica bold font, which I personally prefer over the Arial fonts of many other cheap sets. They also don't sound horrible, maybe a bit on the higher pitch because they are thin, and I generally don't see any major errors such as scratches or nicks in the plastic.For the downsides, the dye-sub is still dye-sub, don't kid yourself if you think there won't be some haloing of the ink prints. It definitely varies and generally doesn't look too obvious until you get close, but some more closed shapes such as 4 or Pg Up will definitely show the haloing more than others. The keycaps are also rather thin as mentioned before, so I would err on the cautious side if you're a colorful gamer, in both meanings. They likely could snap if given too much pressure (i personally haven't encountered any such concern), and lighting will show through the keycap, exposing the uneven underside that usually doesn't matter. Personally it doesn't matter to me in my specific case, but that's definitely a preference thing. Lastly, the kitting is kind of extensive, but not like most extensive keycap kits. For something like a 65 or 75%, you're pretty much stuck with one, maybe two configurations for the navigation cluster, most likely Home/End/PgUp/PgDn, when I would prefer Home/PgUp/PgDn/End.

Seems good to me
These key caps are so incredibly soft. Reminds me of rubberized coating, but much nicer. I am used to Black Realforce keycaps which are very rough in comparison, so that will take some getting used to.You can spot a little roughness around the bottom edges if you look closely, but from normal viewing distance they are pretty clean. Dye sub font is thick and very rounded. Super clear, not fuzzy from normal viewing distance though of course it's not super sharp. I think it suits the soft aesthetic though.I bought these for my Keychron k6 which uses a Tada68 layout I believe. I had to make due with using an extra alt key in place of my second function key, and I used the * key in place of the lightbulb key. I didn't think it through well enough beforehand, but it worked out.The space bar is great, no warping at all from what I can tell and feels great reversed.

Not what I expected
The Artifact bloom color is just 9009. I wish it would have said that. All the photos make it look like a more washed out version of 9009. It is exactly 9009. These keycaps are basically the same as much cheaper sets I have bought in the past.
