For around fifteen bucks shipped to the US- these are an amazing value for PBT keycaps that look amazing on NON-backlit keyboards. If you're getting this for only the wasd (not tab, capslock,enter, shift, etc.) and are using these on a non-backlit keyboard, I'd say go for it. They look amazing for just that, and are a tremendous value. They're easy to read, contrast enough to black on white text, and ooze professionalism minus the rough edges which will be hidden away anyways when you install them; and the keycaps falling through their plastic shell in packaging only take a few minutes to sort out- it's still a fantastic value for what other brands charge double or even triple. When placed on a backlit keyboard though- it looks like there's dirty water behind each-keycap, which I attribute to the wavy granular plastic on the back (smooth ones don't have this problem- refer to the difference in backlighting in stock keycaps and these ones), and when you decide to use the whole set- the differences in letter prints and mixture of bold and light fonts on the same key will take away any hopes of making your keyboard look professional. I wouldn't mind this hadn't the keycap been advertised as "backlit"- pictures don't do justice to just how bad the backlighting looks on these. In all- if you're getting these, use only the letter sets and place them on a non-backlit keyboard, you'll fall in love with them. If you're going to use the whole set or want to use them with backlighting- I strongly recommend avoiding them.
