Get what you pay for

For the price they are good. They are not too thick, quite short, get dirty quite easily and can sometimes be crooked. The lesson is yes, gmk baseball caps are worth it. If you are on a budget or need SOMETHING while waiting for a group purchase, this is a good option.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Embarrassing

Great set of keycaps

I've always seen the gmk olivia hype and wanted to see how it looked on my voice65. The caps are good for the price. They have a nice matte texture for typing. The color and lettering looks nice and clear. The 1.25 inch keys are actually a bit smaller than they should be, increasing the gap on my bottom row. Good selection of keycaps for the price. Absolutely worth the money. It's nice to try out a popular set without a year's wait and at +$100.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Speed

Decent keycap set, great customer service

The keycap set looks great from afar and if you're like me and can't afford a $300 full size Olivia base set then this is the one perfectly acceptable substitute to complete your table. Some mod legends are a bit thicker than others, but other than that, that's pretty much all that's really wrong. But most importantly, the customer service is fantastic. I contacted the seller when I found my spacebar was broken and they promptly replaced it with no problem.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Not the best

Inconsistent Black

I haven't seen other reviews mention this, but some caps have a darker shade of black. All standard 104-key layouts are very dark gray, while all non-standard key layouts are blacker. As per other reviews, the 1.25U keycaps leave plenty of space between keys. They look and feel pretty good for fakes, but for a similar price you can get better quality Akko or EPBT keycaps. I can only recommend it if you really like the color scheme. Otherwise there are better options.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Almost done.: PC

Sturdy bottom row keycaps when creating a 6.25 spacebar layout. The distances between the keys are significantly larger. Mainly because the spacebar is 6.25 and the Atl keys are significantly smaller. I changed the layout to 7U and the gaps are way better! Until I realized I was missing the 1.5 ctrl key. Sigh. I had to return for a refund. Edit: I ordered them again after speaking to Revain CS. They were sure that the second order would have the missing key. You were right. I have changed my…

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Weak

Wrong color keycaps included

The keycaps have a very good color and finish. They were a gift for my sister and it was almost perfect except for one small detail that ruins the look and ended up giving 3 stars instead of 5 as this seems to be a common problem with other reviewers. It turned out that the black-on-white zero R1 1x1 was missing from the set I received. Instead I got a white on black zero R1 1x1. The rest of the Tenkei's keycaps are black on white, except for the zero, so the Tenkei looks different now. My…

Pros
  • Builds confidence
