Very unique keycaps
Its a good set - I see a lot of complaints about the pricing - but looking at it from a limited run perspective, its really not that bad compared to other luxury goods . And lets be very honest here, this is a luxury item and has a pricing that reflects that. While I tend to agree with the opinion that there is a lot better options in the market today, GMK is still the benchmark for some very particular colorways like this particular one.Its a pretty decent colorway - the colors really pop when matched with a case (in my case a polycarbonate with PVD accents). Its a complete set as well supporting multiple layouts quite comfortably, with spare F,J and even includes an additional B for the alice layout - which I have found to be rare with GMK offerings, with most vendors opting to charge additional for supporting extra layouts. Legends are crisp and clear, which is something I have found to range from acceptable to downright awful depending on where you get the cheaper set from - yet to see one that does it better than GMK though. Plus while ABS does tend to shine after some time, its the sound profile that I really do like - PBT keycaps or cheaper ABS just don't sound as good as this. Its clacky and crisp.The packaging is just silly though - neither does it protect the keys and just crumbles into dust. The keycaps were just messed up in a bunch when unboxed.

Even 100$ for these, aren’t fair price.
I can definitely tell, that pbt Keychron keycaps are much better quality.I’ve purchased these keycaps for almost 80$ and can’t see the difference between them and 35-40$ keycaps.140+? No way. Maybe these are fake or factory defected, no clue.

Authentic GMK keycaps, worth the extra cost to avoid Drop.com shipping & support
I've bought a couple of these sets for some client builds so far, one from Amazon and one from Drop.com. This set is the same as the one from Drop.com, but with about a $20 markup. Since this is just a reseller, I'm not going to reduce my rating for value like I normally would, but I would probably recommend finding clones since GMK keycaps in general are very overpriced in my opinion.That being said, the $20 premium over drop.com's pricing is justifiable, since they will arrive much faster and you won't have to go through Drop's support in case of an issue, which is notoriously bad. In my opinion, this is worth the price difference and has come in handy when I've needed to complete a keyboard build for Christmas in a short period of time.Regarding the actual keycaps, they are GMK's so you can expect consistent quality, clear legends, and awful packaging. I don't get why GMK insists on using these awful recycled cardboard packages. They're incredibly flimsy and make it extremely difficult to get keycaps out of the box.Aside from that gripe though, they're the best (read, only) official Cherry-profile keycaps on the market, so the legends are consistently positioned and clear. The doubleshot ABS means that, even though you'll get shine on your keycaps over time, the legends won't wear off. The colorway is also consistent between both of the sets I've bought.Overall, I'd probably suggest finding some clones if you're not rushed, but if you need genuine GMK keycaps in a hurry, then these will suit you well, even if you are paying a bit of a premium.Pros:- The only Cherry-Profile keycaps on the market- Cool colorway that looks great in person and in photos- The base kit provides more keycaps than a typical GMK base kit, including numpad and some alternate modifiers and spacebars.- Consistent positioning and clarity of legends- Doubleshot keycaps means that legends won't wear away over time- Amazon seller means that you get Amazon support and quick shippingCons:- Expensive, with an additional premium due to being resold on Amazon- Awful packaging- Slightly less consistent clones can be purchased for less than a third of the price- ABS keycaps mean that your keycaps will start to shine over time with regular usage.

These keycaps are legit.
Wanted these when I first seen them, but they were sold out. Yes, I seen them too late. Waited and waited for another drop but ended up purchasing a different set. Seen them on amazon, with prime, had to get them. Will upload a picture soon. FYI, I also seen there's a V2 coming out, look awesome as well. Let's hope they have them on amazon!

Overrated, but nice looking
This is my first GMK set and probably my last. I'm not sure what the hype is about but I like a $40 PBT set just as much as these so far. I don't mind the ABS plastic but I think PBT sound a bit better.The "S" key in this set came with a blemish, the top layer of the double shot keycap had a scratch/hole in it so you can see the color underneath. It's on the side of the key so it's mostly out of sight but not really. You can see it easily from the side. Probably not going to look for an exchange just for that I guess. Debating it...but just goes to show the quality control on these.Absolutely not worth the money. I know this designer has the rights to use the cherry profile and all and everyone likes GMK, but just being honest - massive over hype.Definitely worth it if it was like half the cost. I could even see $70-80 just for the nice design and profile...but quality? Um, no. Don't get these for quality. Don't expect anything great. ONLY get these if you love the design. That's quite literally the only reason to get these keycaps. It's not for value, I can say that much.

They feel fine.
The keycaps looked much better in the pictures than in person. I've never owned GMK keycaps but when I saw these in person, my first thought was that they didn't feel nor look as amazing as I thought they'd be. I think paying 200 CAD for these is a bit much. The colourway is still really cool, despite it looking a little different than in the pictures.

Nice, not worth the money
My first GMK kit after about a year of keyboard hobbying. The keycaps are sadly not as nice as many cheap 30 dollar clones. The legends are sharp and the colors are great, but the plastic shines out of the box, and there's an inconsistent finish on the sides of the keycaps. I regret this purchase a bit, but I'm glad that now I know that I'm not missing out on much from GMK. Compared to MT3 keys from drop, the quality is no contest.
