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

I ordered the base set directly from Drop, and the extras here. They are the most beautiful keycaps, which remind me of IBM 3277 terminals from the 1970s. They are absurdly expensive but they are so choice. I highly recommend them if you can afford them, as I've never been able to touch-type so fast. I've bought dozens of sets of keycaps over the years, and these are by far the best feeling, with an incredible quality that you have to experience to believe. They have a beautiful thock sound, especially on a really nice keyboard and set of switches. I'm running a Keychron Q6 Max with Kailh BOX Navy Blue switches. The only downside was that my extras set didn't have the red cursor keys as shown. Drop couldn't send me a set directly and the recommended I return them for exchange from Amazon. For ~$170 I expect better customer service.

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.

Excellent quality keycaps with lots of extra options (if you get the 161 key version). I put these on a Corsair K95 (the older 18 macro key version) with Kailh Box Jades/Box Navies and these keycaps both sound and feel amazing. I absolutely love the MT3 profile, and I really like the color scheme of this set. The packaging was perfect, couldn't ask for better. I wish they had included a 6.5u spacebar, and I wish the stepped CapsLock key stem was centered, but there were enough extra keys I was able to work around these two minor issues. Really I should be complaining more about Corsair using a non-standard layout instead of complaining that this set only has 'some' of the non-standard keys and not 'all' of the the non-standard keys. I was able to cut out the stems from the 7u spacebar and epoxy them into the 6.25u spacebar. Then I used the Blue CapsLock key which, in my case, doesn't butt up right against the letter 'A' on my board, so I still get a similar 'stepped' feel and I don't constantly hit the CapsLock on accident. My wife doesn't care much about keycaps, but she does love Studio Ghibli, so she actually really likes this set too. Overall, I would highly recommend any MT3 profile keycaps, but especially this set in particular. I

These are my daily drivers, I use them on a Drop CTRL with Glorious Panda switches. Initially I thought the MT3 profile was disorienting, but after using them for a while, I am quite fond of it. I acknowledge that not everyone will like this profile though, and that should be considered if you are buying this product (or any like it). If you can find an MT3 set to try first before dumping about two hundred dollars on keycaps, it would be a **very good** idea. Other things go without saying, the thickness is very good the weight on my switches feels good and not like its making keys too easy to press or anything. I really like the theme, but all of that considered, I bought this specifically for the VI keys (hjkl with arrows) because I thought they looked super cool. The price for these keycaps is a good deterrent for most people, for good reason. However this high of a price is pretty standard for high quality keycaps, as well as the Drop.com-exclusive MT3 profile. This leads me to the value for money, its expensive and definitely should only be bought if you have a hankering to spend money on some expensive keycaps or you really really like having a specific row of keycaps. Brightness is a 1 star because they're not shine-through keycaps, as they should be. Gaming is a 4 star because, like, Sure? nothing about these keycaps keep you from gaming.

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.

Beautiful color, appearance and texture. Wonderful sound quality and fit on my mx switches. My absolute favorite keycaps and colorway!

Awesome keycap set. It's my first MT3 profile keycap set, and I love how it feels and sounds on my board. It's a little pricey, but keycaps and mech keys in general when in this enthusiast space are almost always expensive. I appreciate that this set can fill out nearly any standard layout. I have it on a Tokyo60 HHKB board with Glorious Panda switches, and there's no profile issues in the rows. It also sounds fantastic, at least to my personal preference. It's got a very "thick" sound to it when typing, not high pitched or tinny. Also looks fantastic on the black aluminum case. I also have a NK65 starter in purple that I'm going to try it out on, but that's only for the sound, I don't think it'll look good on an atomic purple polycarb case.

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.

I have been using these for a few weeks now and they are by far the best keycap set I have owned. I would highly recommend these for typing (not so much for gaming as the profile might make it a bit awkward). To start, they feel great; they have a unique sculpted profile with a slightly texture to them that just makes them so satisfying to press. The look of the set is also beautiful; I love the included accent escape and enter keys - they really make the set pop. I am using these with lubed zealios and the sound is incredible - deep and thocky. Overall, expensive set but you get what you pay for.

Looks good on my Preonic… I'm glad I didn't get a flashy or lighter colour because it's a daily setup and I don't want to be too distracted, or have to clean it all the time. I wish there was a '⌘' key to make it more Mac-like but that's a detail. Same for 'BS' instead of a backspace symbol, but I think that is a statement detail that the designer wanted. Much better quality than cheap keycaps!

I really love the MT3 profile, it reminds me of my first keyboards in the early 90s. The Susuwatari keycap set has a durable construction, clear fonts and the magic of this profile. All of these three factors combined together make for me the ultimate writing experience, as a software developer myself I love the clarity of the legends, the colours and the ergonomic factor that these keycaps provide. If you're building a keyboard for mainly writing code: these are the keycaps made for you!

Great Keycaps, lots of options and quality feel.
