I love the side markings and the fact that it also has the markings on top because even though I know where the keys are I occasionally forget and could easily mistype. But with a new keyboard that has south facing LEDs I had to find a different shine-through keycap. The biggest issues I have with these caps are the space bar cap has a bow in it so it's not straight by any means of the word, and the enter key for the ten key is twisted so it does not it also does not lay correctly when installed. Now the green transparent space bar was fine but I don't want to use that one, as it let's way too much light out compared to the others. Now if it was like the arrow keys that would have been great.

Overall these look fantastic for the price, but a few key choices are a bit odd. For example the key that literally says 'CONTROL' in katakana on it is marked on the side as not the Control key, but the FN key.In fact there are two that translate to CONTROL in the keycap set, yet neither one is marked as control on the side print.Questionable choice aside a great set of keycaps: like they look nearly perfect. If that minor Control issue isn't a problem for you these are an easy 5/5 for the price.

I was honestly skeptical of these when I first ordered them. There is no mention of this being officially licensed merchandise of Neon Genesis Evangelion and yet the quality is that of the real thing. The keys are all evenly printed and there is no weird runoff or damage, This set comes with a ton of height variations for almost every type of keyboard layout preference, and surprisingly there were no missing pieces or tons of duplicates. Light comes through nicely from the keycaps and the colors are stunning, my only design comment is that there is a lot going on in terms of the text and design so it looks a bit gaudy to non NGE fans. The packaging could use work as one of the 3 trays doesn't hold the keys well so you will receive them a bit scattered. Overall a great set of keycaps if you enjoy NGE or if Unit-01 is your favorite Eva.

I really enjoy these keycaps. The font is a little large but I am ok with it. I have them on a Yunzii 98% keyboard and they look great. The shine through on the bottom is clear on almost all of the keys. It is a little dark on a couple of the keys though. They have a nice texture that isn't to smooth so my fingers don't slide off in gaming situations but they also don't feel like sandpaper or anything. They went on perfectly with the exception of the clear space bar. It had issues going on the switch but the regular spacebar did not have that problem. Also the clear spacebar does not feel as quality as the other keycaps.
