So this is the first proper set of keycaps that I have bought for myself. I have built two keyboards, and these keycaps had no problem fitting both form factors of 60% and 65%, and I have no doubt that they will fit up to 100% layouts. The keycap set was nicely packaged when it arrived, and it wasn't a complete mess when I opened it; only a few keycaps were flipped, but it isn't that big of a deal. The keycaps were packaged with two layers, with the main keycaps on top and the additional keycaps on the bottom. These keycaps were different from the standard keycaps that I am used to. The standard profile set for keyboards would be Cherry, a curve depending on the row the keycaps are set on. But since these keycaps are XDA profiles, these were a bit flatter. However, this didn't ruin the typing experience and use for the keycaps, and with the material, I have frequently used ABS keycaps which are prone to shine very quickly from the grease on your fingers. Compared to these PBT keycaps, although they aren't double shot PBT, these are still really good for being PBT keycaps; after 2.5 weeks of proper use, they haven't developed any shine and still are in mint condition. Going to the overall design of these keycaps, I had the Japanese keycaps, and all the legends and fonts on the keycaps are consistent, and none of them were out of place. The leveling of the keycaps is also consistent so that all the keycaps are inline within the same row, and I had no problems with the stability of the keycaps; they held on to the stem of the switch very well and never fell off when I was typing on them. These keycaps also have accent keycaps with tiny icons, and they are adorable. Overall I have no problem with the keycaps, apart from getting used to typing on XDA profile keycaps, but it's no biggie. Overall I feel like, with this price, the keycaps are worth it. They don't feel flimsy or cheap. On the contrary, they feel high in quality, I am satisfied!

After a good four months of using these, I can say that these have turned to be my favorite switches on the market right now. They easily fit within budget, and you get the best bang for your buck. For 120 switches, you pay $0.27 per switch (on average, the price does fluctuate sometimes), and I think that is a great deal. Now moving on to the actual review on the switches, previous when I bought these, I had never faced a dead switch which was great (but I don't know whether I got lucky with that), and sure when you receive them, there are some switches with dead pins. Still, anyways, the switches themselves, when they are used stock are excellent, they feel pretty smooth already with pressing down on the switch, and they have a higher force than some switches on the market, the gateron reds have an actuation force of 45 g. In comparison, the gateron yellows have an actuation of 50g, which is not that much and not that big of a difference. A common problem with linear switches is a pinging resonance, but I faced no issue when I used the gateron yellows stock. Now the genuine part is when you lube the switch (of course, it does vary when you use different lube); I lubed my switches with Glorious G-lube and used an even amount to lube the springs, the stem, and the bottom housing. After lubing the switches and putting them into my keyboard, I was surprised how the lube changed the gateron yellows. They made the gateron yellows feel buttery smooth, and it was the best experience when typing and utilizing them for gaming. I would put the gateron yellows up along with the top linear switches on the market: Tealios V2, Ink Blacks, Novel Keys Cream Switches. But if you are getting in the custom keyboard hobby and you are just getting started, I would recommend that you use the gateron yellows as a budget starter; like I said, getting these will be a bang for your buck, and you get the best performance out of these switches stock or lubed. Thanks for reading my review!

AroraJoshua Aslong as your stabilizers are plate mount and not PCB mount, these will fit.
