Nice, but not as advertised...
SEE UPDATE BELOW.The keys feel very good and fit Cherry MX switches -for the most part... The space bar does not even come close to fitting on the Corsair K70 keyboard so I am left with a space bar that doesn't match. Also, some of the large keys sit a little crooked and do not cover the mechanical base. They look nice, but the chrome is chipping off even as I install them, and the plastic bag they came in was loaded with chrome flakes. The worst Part? Only a small handful of the keys are actually the tall deco font! See pictures of what I got -NOT what's shown on the Amazon photo... I have a return in process. For $125 this should have been PERFECT as these keys alone cost more than most mechanical keyboards.UPDATE:Above is my original review. I gave 2 stars. Datamancer addressed my complaint quickly and sent an entire new set of tall deco keycaps that are in fact the correct keys. The quality is still good and the chrome brightly reflects the RED LEDs on my Corsair K70 keyboard. The space bar does not fit any of the K70 Keyboards, or the G-Skill Ripjaws KM870, OR the Tesoro Gram Spectrum Low Profile keyboard. I can't speak to any other Cherry keyboards but these models definitely do NOT accept the space bar. Overall they are very cool, but if you must have completely consistent keys and have any of the keyboards mentioned above do not buy. Also, it's still pretty hard for me to justify $125 for these. If you want a retro look but don't want to spend $500+ on one of those true retro remakes, this will get you most of the way there.

Beautiful keys and great customer service
The font on the keycaps is a delight, they fit perfectly into my Kailh Box Navy switches, and don’t obscure RGB (though I think they look better on an unlit keyboard). Had some issues with a couple of keys (2 out of the 100+) and they sent a replacement right away. Overall, very happy with the feel and look of these key caps.

Call me a sucker for paying what I paid.
The price is really high. It's 3D printed. Very "homemade". Uneven surfaces. Chrome flakes off from some caps. Looks great! Product itself is very niche. I bought this to put on my Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition with green Razer switches (I prefer them over Cherry MX Blues, feels very different). The spacebar got stuck a bit due to the 3D printing being unrefined.I bought this for $135 (125 + 10 shipping), but I can buy a mass-produced keyboard in China that uses Cherry MX switches for 120 Chinese Yuan. Exchange rate is about 1 USD = 7 CNY, so I bought this for about 7 times the price. I can buy a Chinese keyboard just for the keycaps and still be way cheaper than this; looks more professional too. Chinese keycaps doesn't have the cool font options, but it doesn't justify a 7 times price difference sans a whole keyboard.I hope the Datamancers may learn something from this and up their game for pricing their product for this much. I know they specialize in steampunk style keyboards, but there is still a lot of room for improvement, so I hope they can take my $125 and put it to good use, consider it a patreon type of thing, heck, maybe even sign up for a patreon or a kickstarter or something.P.S. I travel a lot, so I compare products with prices abroad, but in this case, I'm still paying a lot less if I buy a keyboard from China and have it shipped over.

I got a set of these via another site - as Jeffrey noted, the space bar doesn't fit Corsair K70 keyboards. They seem to have fixed the issue with flaking chrome, mine arrived intact. They are very shiny!
