DROP + Matt3o MT3 Susuwatari Custom Keycap Set, ABS Hi-Profile Keycaps, Doubleshot Legends, Cherry MX Compatible Extras for Mechanical Keyboards (Extras) (MDX-33813-4)

These keycaps are certainly a luxury item. One should not purchase them unless they can afford to do so. However, typing with these keycaps on Cherry MX Blues is a simple joy. Each keycap is molded to fit one's fingers, especially the "f" and "j" keys. There is a good variety of colors and styles that allow for customization. Different sizes also ensure the widest possible compatibility with different keyboard styles.There are different sizes of "special keys" such as control, alt, shift, spacebar, backspace, caps lock, return, and cmd. Strangely there is no windows key, but presumably there is some nebulous copyright issue. Regardless, this does not detract from the experience, as there are keys with a diamond symbol printed on them as well as totally blank keys.The design of these keycaps is sublime. The pleasant font and simple colors ensure a minimalistic yet uniquely stylish keyboard. There are keys that are entirely red with white text to add some vibrance next to the otherwise monochrome keys. Some grey and black keys even have a specially colored legend that further serves the aesthetic.The box is very nice and comes with carefully wrapped trays full of keycaps. You can easily store extra keys in the box for later use, and boxing up the product is as satisfying as unboxing it. The keycaps are ordered logically in sequence, making the placement of the keycaps trivial.Overall, these keycaps should last for decades and bring joy whenever they are used. The MT3 profile may be awkward for some, but personally I find it extremely comfortable. Those with a specific aesthetic need look no further for keycaps that fit their vision. Indeed, there is something in this set of keycaps for every mechanical keyboard user.

These keycaps are thick, double shot so they will never fade, and sculpted. With ortholinear keyboards, these keycaps really help adjusting to smaller modifer key size and different key layout.Pros:1. Thick: This helps lower the pitch of the sound, which makes it sound quieter.2. Doubleshot ABS: No wearing out the legends. The font is also fairly thick, making it much more legible than some other keycaps.3. MT3 profile: The sculpted profile really makes it very comfortable to use and helps reduce hitting the wrong keys. No sharp edges due to the spherical shape. Very enjoyable for typing. The profile is much higher though so that could be an issue for some people.4. Multiple profile options for certain keys: For example, the Ctrl and Esc keycs come in profiles that would allow it to be the top row or 3rd row. Space bar comes as two 1u, two 1.5u, and one 2u.5. Storage tray and box: This seems silly to put as a pro but the tray and box it comes with make it easy to store unused or keycaps it replaced. Other Keycaps come in a zip lock bag that will just be a jumbled mess.Cons:1. Price. This is really expensive for a set of keycaps but this is the normal price for any specialty keycaps. It is what it is.2. Limitation of scultped profile: Putting key profiles meant for row 1 in row 3 feels awkward so you might end you designing your keymap partially based on keycap profiles. Also might end up rotating some keycaps like row 5 Raise or Lower layer keycaps to make it more comfortable.3. ABS option only. The PBT version is in white only. So if you prefer the color with the material that it isn't made it, then you're out of luck.4. Limited to buying sets if you need extra keys: If you need more keys, you have to order a set. I would like to have more 1.5u blank keycaps but don't want to buy multiple sets just for the few pieces I want.

The past few times my dad has come to visit, he comments on my keycaps, at how nice they are. "I just can't believe it... how much did those cost??"Yeah. I think for a lot of people, me including, dropping the dollar bills on something like this is an uncomfortable, painful, and slightly violating experience. Like I had to apologize to my bank account, but not my girlfriend (I buy junk like this, you I think I have one of those?!). Was it worth it?To be serious, yes it was. These keycaps look great, certainly, but there's a certain feel to them too that you don't get with cheaper key caps. Now, I'm not as cultured as some would be with the world of key caps, but I've pressed a few. These are really nice. The material feels nice, has a light texture to it. The keys themselves cup your fingers as you type (This may be something you don't like, but for me, I like it). Because of the way it cups the fingers, I find it helps me type a little faster. As my fingers don't slip as much (I'm a little sloppy at higher speeds). The J and F keys are a little deeper, and I found it's something I had to get a little use to. Although, compared to other brands, that would use a little bump or something, I find these ones don't stand out, but my fingers still seem to find them.It's the sort of keycaps that would probably outlast your current cpu/gpu configuration. They're good enough, that as you change other hardware, it's something you would want to keep. Like a killer set of monitors, or that mouse that fits your hand just right. It may even outlast the actual keyboard sitting under them, as you may go from wired to wireless, but wanna keep the same caps.

These don't add that much over the base kit to be completely honest. It's pretty much a waste of money. Especially on a smaller keyboard.However there are a few cool keycaps in there so if you have the money to burn, go for it.Maybe if I put them on a full size keyboard then I might be able to use more keycaps in this set. There's some duplicate keycaps so if you need a backup or something, maybe that's a reason to buy.I love the MT3 profile and love the design of this set. I just think it's overpriced really. That's the only thing wrong here.
