Delighted I Bought These
I bought the purple ones to spruce up my venerable but uninspiring Das Keyboard Professional Model S. I was expecting them to feel flimsier than the original keycaps because after all, the Das Keyboard is expensive and heavy and these things are cheap. But actually, these feel thicker and more substantial than the original keycaps, which makes me think the Das Keyboard was a bit of a lie, talking themselves up about how fancy they are.Now, looking at my new-looking Purple Rain-ish keyboard, I'm wondering why I didn't swap out the keycaps a long time ago. In fact, I'm going to get some more of these in different colors and mix things up a bit. How about orange modifiers and function keys and purple alphas? I don't know, but at these prices, I can afford to experiment. Also, I'm very glad I took the time to pull all the keycaps and remove the unspeakable things that were lurking underneath there.This was a good experience and a good way to spend under $20 to spruce up a tool I use for hours everyday.

Great set for only $18
I bought these key caps to replace the standard ABS caps that came with my Rosewill Helios keyboard. This is my first set of PBT caps and all I can say is that they are miles ahead of ABS caps.These caps came in a package with the brand name Kananic. It includes a plastic kepcap puller and both size enter keys depending on your layout. This set is designed for standard layout keyboards so if your bottom row is custom, the bottom row keys won't fit.Issues: the keys are thin so you will get backlight bleeding. They are also not cut cleanly on the bottom edges (see close up pics) so if you're super neurotic you may want to avoid these. These issues don't really bother me since they are going on my work keyboard and they are less than half the cost of Vortex caps (if you can even find them in stock).They ship from China. Expected delivery was quoted for 4-7 weeks but I got mine in a little under 3 weeks.

great way to get (almost) what you want.
These are very well made. I am very happy with these and am using them on my Velocifire keyboard I take to work. I wanted a little shot of purple and these where the only set I could find on the web that where reasonably priced (purple lovers in the computer scene are kind of boned unless doing custom jobs). I rather do wish I could get a darker purple (as these are more lavender than the display pic). But my light shines through so that is a huge perk for me.All in all great option at a reasonable price for any one who wants a purple mechanical keyboard and can't find it.

Excellent keycaps, nice unique color
I handed down my old Das Keyboard with CherryMX Brown keys to my wife when I decided to get a backlit Corsair keyboard. My old Das was an "Ultimate" model with blank keycaps. My wife can touch-type but wanted the added assurance of having the letters on the caps. I decided to get these for her and change out all the caps. Everything fit on there great, with the exception of the space bar. It has an ever-so-slight curvature to it and it won't sit evenly across the Das Keyboard. If it's pressed straight in the middle, it would be fine, but if pressed off-center it would stick. I double-checked about a zillion times and made sure the stabilizer bar was in correctly and it just didn't want to work perfectly. I put the stock Das Keyboard spacebar back on and it worked fine on the first go. No big deal. The space bar is black and all the other keys are purple.The keys themselves are nice, have a very slight texture to them and the letters are "double-shot" with a clear plastic so a backlight can shine through, if your keyboard is so equipped. This keyboard is not, but the letters still stand out perfectly fine without any backlight. A nice little bonus was that the keys were packed in a plastic clamshell (with an included key-puller) and all the keys were already arranged in a QWERTY setup so there was no hunting for the right key. All-in-all, a great value.

Awesome!
Couldn't find purple keycaps that I liked so I took a chance on these. I think they're awesome! They arrived on time with no casualties, were easy to install and the backlight shines through pretty brightly. And they're the perfect shade of blue-toned purple to match my headset.I have the RK71 and because of its strange layout, the PageUp and Pause keys are both taller than their neighboring keys. This is NOT a problem with the keycaps. These keycaps have an OEM profile, so if your keyboard has a similar layout as mine, you might want to get some DSA or XDA profiled keycaps (which are uniformly flat). I went with these keycaps anyway since I was planning on keeping some of the RK71's stock white caps. But you can also probably rearrange and re-map your PageUp and Pause keys to hide the unevenness.As for the quality, they feel pretty thick and sturdy. The texture is matte and a tiny bit gritty feeling. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the nubs on the F and J keys are barely there, and you can't really feel them.
