The Fun Computer Key has a peel and stick backing so that it can be applied to just about anything!

Seems like its a sticker.

If these were caps, they would be designed for rubber domes, and rubber domes come in all sorts of sizes.

So most likely sticker

The ones from SP are real keycaps - you can use them on your Cherry MX-based keyboard.

The Amazon ones - no idea.

The Signature Plastics (SP) ones - yep!  I got one or two of those in my Crap Bag - they are fine.

BTW SP is who makes the keycaps for most of the group buys around here.
