I bought them and they are at my proxy now. They're reportedly pretty good, and my proxy is a guy who has really seen it all.

The only thing I'd comment is that the shifts and Backspace appear to have the legend cut into the lower half of the keycap.  On my Ducky Shines, the LEDs are towards the upper half of the keycaps, so I don't know how well these would illuminate.

Unless the LEDs are positioned differently on the Mionix keyboards ...

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Excellent point. You'll want to examine where your LED is located. It'll either be above the stem, or below and in order for the light to shine through the legend (the text, or icon) will need to be above the LED.

those keycaps are TRASH, I owned a zibal for a little bit, and there are tons of reports of the caps quickly fading and scratching up.

Ask zibal nicely, and they may even send you a replacement set.

I bought 2 sets precisely because they're cheap and not expected to last long. But the font is nice enough.

Yes, I hate Deck's ugly font that much. Wish DeckKeyboards (The vendor account) could read this.
