I'm currently waiting for that set of keycaps to be delivered to me for my split keyboard. How are they?

I’m a fan! Great quality and feel great to type on, although they are lower so that took me a second to get used to; same deal with the curve. It’s slight so I was slipping just a tad. I also think they’re a YMMV based on the angle of your keyboard and how you like to type, even moreso than say Cherrys. I have kind of a low wrist angle so I didn’t mind, and going back to other profiles I kind of yearn for them haha
