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.
