**** A warning to Topre users ****I'll start with the issue that I have with these. This likely does /not/ affect or matter to you, as it only applies to Topre switches, not mechanical MX switches. What i found with these is that the keys stick to the switch housing (the first picture, t key). It just makes them unusable sadly. I have added more details about this at the bottom, incase this is something that you might be able to mitigate.**** The actual review ****The dye-sub printing on the keys is alright. I have seen better, and I have seen worse. It seems almost blotchy on the legends with words, but it's not really noticeable on the regular letter keycaps. I think this can be attributed to the fact that the letters are somewhat thick and blobby, making any bleed during the printing process be more impactful than on a more typical typeface. Dye-sub is never going to be as crisp as double shot, so speaking about only dye-sub, these are pretty average.The thick printing does lend itself to a slightly less elegant look if that's what you wanted to go for. It seems that basically all of the MOA profile sets are very out-there, going for more of a fun & whimsical look, so these are still probably your best shot for a more minimal look if you are set on MOA profile. Some of the legends do also feel out of place, like the typeface on a couple of the more novelty-focused caps just being entirely different.I don't normally care about sound tests as there are so many other factors that affect the sound of the switch than just the keycaps; however as these ones are much thicker than something like XDA or OEM, there is a noticeable difference in the pitch and color of the sound. They do sound a lot less cheap than XDA profile tends to sound because of this, having a deeper and less tinny sound.The profile itself is honestly very nice. they feel much softer under your fingers than XDA or DSA (significantly softer than say, OEM or Cherry profile), and your fingers center themselves very nicely on the top. I really like the way these feel. That being said, these switches are taller than XDA or DSA. They probably sit around Cherry-ish height, or between XDA and SA overall. I like this a lot, but that might not be what you're looking for if you enjoy the height of XDA.Overall, unless you have an hhkb or a realforce or something stupid like I do, these are good enough keycaps. I'd be happy keeping them if I used a mechanical keyboard, especially for the price I paid for them.**** for Topre users part 2 ****The space inside the keycap is too small, and the stem is too recessed, causing the key to get stuck within ~2-3mm of bottoming out. This only happened on my Topre board, I tested them on a mechanical board which was fine. I have never had any issues with any other keycaps before (none being MOA), so I'd say this is either a quality control issue and/or an issue with the profile being incompatible with Topre switches.The reason I say it might be a quality control issue that causes the hangups is that not all of the keycaps stick down, with around 25% of them being perfectly fine (This is for 1u keycaps, i tested all of the included 1.25u keycaps, all were fine). I also noticed that rotating one of the sticky keycaps by 90 degrees fixed this on some of the sticky caps, further pointing towards the hangup being down to variation in the thickness of the cap wall. I think in honesty, the profile is simply pretty close to being too thick for Topre in the first place, and so any slight variation in wall thickness will push it over the edge.I should say - this was /not/ an issue on my MX boards. they all fit fine there. This is probably due to mx housings tapering to their widest point, compared to Topre housings typically being vertical at their plate width (both Topre and MX are ~14.7mm at their base).
