Although I just grabbed a set of JTK Griseann from Swagkeys cause they have it on clearance dirt cheap right now & JTK definitely stepped up their quality. The legends are sharper, much less kerning issues, & no warped long keys comparing to their older sets. Also the tripleshot sets have a slightly deeper sound to them compared to any other doubleshot ABS set (I'm guessing they are a bit thicker at the top of the cap from the extra shot). It looks like they had some sizing & kerning issues on a few keys with this set originally (2.25 L Shifts, 2.75 R Shift, & 1.5u R Ctrl) but the set came with fixed replacements for all of those keys so no big deal there. I've had to get replacement keys for GMK & KKB sets before, so that issue is not exclusive to JTK at all. Also I have become a big fan of Drop's DCX caps because all of the 5 sets I got so far have had zero issues & I like the slightly different font they use for legends (can see why some people don't like the font though).

That font on the dcx caps is weird looking it's off putting to me. It's kinda like a mix of a slightly different, thicker gorton alphas and then cherry for the mods with weirder kerning it's quite strange.
