Good for ANSI, not so much for ISO. UK folks buyer beware
Decent quality pudding-style keycaps but with some small issues I want to bring up so that the seller can hopefully fix this with future purchases.Aesthetically, these all look great, the legends are easy to read, the translucent plastic lets through plenty of light while dispersing it evenly, I'm very happy with how they look.I have an ISO layout keyboard, and it also annoyingly doesn't have a standard bottom row of keys, so seeing that this set had different versions of all the keys in the right sizes was the selling point for me.Where they fall short is the variety in these keys. I found that for some reason I had plenty of different windows, alt, ctrl keys etc, and it does come with the ISO style keys, but not all of them. I attached an image of 4 keycaps that were missing or different, those being the symbols on the 2 and 3 keys (" and £ respectively) and then also the ' @ and # ~ keys did not have a good replacement, so I've had to put some random R2 keys on those, which I'm not too happy with.As for build quality, they seem mostly fine, they're a lot tighter on my switches so they won't fall off like my old ones. However, I did scratch the top of a spare key just to test and it seems like these may wear down with time, possibly pretty easy. Also while writing this review I've noticed that they sound a lot cheaper when typing than my previous set, but this doesn't affect me too much.Overall I'm happy with my purchase and will keep using them for now, but I would like if in future, all required keycaps could be provided for full compatibility with UK ISO layouts.Also this might be cheeky of me but if you decide to start manufacturing those keys I'm missing could you send me some? If you do I'll put my rating up to 4 stars, at least.

Just not a decent product I was sent
Are they keycaps? Yep. Do they fit my keyboard... yes. However they are light and a bit more plastic feeling than any other PBT I have felt. The real issue is that you can see molding and cutting marks on every key. Just look at my included photos to see what I mean. It isn't just the paint, but the plastic has sharp edges.Sure, to be clear I could have a bad batch. It happens. But I also think these are a bit lighter and plastic-ier than my other key caps. Even the cheaper ones. They did look decent with the led underneath but not as decent as the snake alternative. If I had gotten non defective caps I think this might have been a 4.Ranked is a great company and I have no issues with them and their products until now. This is just a double whammy of negativity that is not excusable.

Look great and fit better than the ones that came with my keyboard!
These were a total impulse buy, but I'm glad I got them. My existing mechanical keyboard already had doubleshot white keycaps from the factory, but I like the "pudding" look of two thirds of the cap being frosted plastic, plus I justified it to myself by saying that if I ever get or build another keyboard I can put the stock keycaps back on my current one and transfer these to the new one.These are nice caps, and they actually fit better onto the switches on my board better than the original keycaps did. The frosted plastic lets more of the backlight LEDs bleed through, and I bet they'd look really, really good with a keyboard that has bright white backlighting. I very much like that these are doubleshot and won't fade or wear down, and the typeface is nice and pleasant and modern.A couple of the keycaps had some tiny, tiny (less than a pencil head) sized defects in their finish, but I contacted Ranked via message on here and they've already agreed to send out replacement caps for me, so I won't dock a star for such a minor issue since manufacturing defects do happen.

Pretty, good light, came in loose bag and got wrong color though
My box said white and I did not get the white set I got the Miami set so I have no clue what that's about.These are a pretty good budget set, they look nice and there were quite a few keys I didn't expect to see like an ISO enter key. There were also variable heights for page up and page down which was a nice surprise. I put these on my gamakay lk67 and had everything that I needed. I had a different pudding set on there before but it didn't come with the right width left shift and would stick when I used it as a result. These all fit correctly and look good (outside of being not the color I ordered).One big complaint though is that they came in two loose bags which is pretty ridiculous. I've ordered cheap keycaps before, I am no stranger to that. I don't expect every set to have a perfectly molded holder for each key. However, even the cheap sets I've ordered have been vacuum sealed onto cardboard with all the keys right side up so that you don't have to flip them over like annoying little puzzle pieces.

Missing a space bar for 60% layouts, else a good basic OEM set
I’m trying these out on a glacier blue Womier WK61. Unfortunately, none of the space bars are a fit for the keyboard, so I’ve had to use one of the included alternates, which throws off the colour scheme and the sound profile.These are perfectly decent pudding keycaps with an interesting synthwave-ish color scheme. They sound a little less thin and clacky than the OEMs which come with ever so many keyboards, and distribute light quite nicely.That said, the fit is slightly inconsistent. I needed to readjust and nudge several keys into place, and they often gripped the switch or stabs so hard that any attempt to reseat the key pulled the switch or stab right out of its housing. I’m positive that that’s not an approved method!Don’t overlook these as a starter option, but not for anything below 65%. I’ll happily use these on another board, though.
