You get what you pay for

Conclusion: The only reason to buy them is that they are affordable and readily available. Physically, these are excellent keys. They are thick and strong and definitely well built. They do have a few glaring flaws, however, which to me means they'll only live temporarily on my Drop Alt until I get a better black and white set. The biggest nuisance are the legends. They are laser engraved so they will fade over time, but the thickness of the inscriptions varies widely. All alphanumeric keys are fine. But any key larger than 1U is some kind of crap shooting. For example, the left Shift and Enter keys appear to be bold, but the right Shift and Capitalization keys are not. I don't know if it was an odd design choice or just poor print quality - and maybe I'm picky - but it annoys me. I also find it odd that the arrows on the Enter, Return, and Tab keys are black, while those on the Shift keys are white with a black outline. I would definitely like more consistency with legends in general. The only other issue may or may not apply to you, but the right-most navigation keys aren't shaped to match the standard drop-alt layout. You have a delete button that fits in the top row, but the other navigation buttons don't have the right shape for where they belong by default. If you have a programmable keyboard or multiple masters it doesn't matter, but otherwise you could either have mismatched legends or a few keys that stick out above the rest. - NOW white caps, then get them. But if you can afford to wait, you'd better treat yourself to a group purchase.

Pros

Cons
