I'm very curious about the quality of these keycaps. Please let me know your thoughts / options. :thumb:

They're Tai Hao caps.

Not bad for the price.

Yeah, they are great for the price. I'm not the biggest fan of ABS plastic.. but the price for the double shots couldn't be better.

Ordered a set ;D
If anything they'll be a cheap set of modifier keys.

They are also OEM profile, so just as long as you don't mind that ;)

most keycaps are OEM unless otherwise specified, aren't they? I'll be putting them on my Ducky Legend. I think thats whats currently on there.

Seems like good deal? Actually the green ones are $20 as well.

These got another price cut.

The PBT keys I have do feel better but, for the mod keys I'm using them for, they're perfect. I might just get the green ones too for that price. :p

I've owned the green key's for a while now. I think since they first came into production. There is little to no shine at this point, they still feel very new.

I feel like there's a lot of keycap snobbery around cheap ABS caps but you really can't go wrong with Tai Hao ABS doubleshots IMO. Mine are only a couple months old so I can't talk too much of their durability but they look and feel great to me.

As long as you don't mind OEM profile, their legends are quite legible and consistent.
I have about 8 Tai Hao sets, with another one or two on the way. Although I haven't used any of them long enough to see any shine, they nevertheless are more than useable :)

I bought a few sets way back when I was testing the waters of keyboard customizing.
Decent quality, could be thicker, but can say that pretty much about any keycap.
They felt crisp typing on, but my biggest issue was something I've never really experienced with other caps is that the spacebar became extremely painful to use. In hindsight I guess I could have rotated the spacebar 180 degrees, but I don't like the way that looks.
Long story short - They are worth their price - but probably not much more, sore thumbs!
