There’s a chance you won’t get the product
Cheap white knock off of gmk dots is what I received in a cardboard box with Chinese writing. Returning this product.

Color distinto
El color es distinto al que podemos apreciar en las fotos, el color azul está más pegado a la gama de verdes.

Quality set, but overpriced and underwhelming...
You always hear GMK touted as the pinnacle of keycaps for their quality, colors, and level of detail. While these are definitely top notch keycaps overall, I was left significantly underwhelmed.Pros:- Colors are pretty good, nothing remarkable from other sets, but nice- Legends and graphics were well done with no errors, but GMK doesn't reach a level of detail that others can't (which is usually what you hear with them)- Very good build quality; each keycap fit nice and snug and there were no warped or damage keycaps- ABS finish is better than some ABS finishes you get. It doesn't shine up immediately, but still left me missing a good PBTCons:- Price vs. value - I don't think these are more "worth it" over other keycaps- The set makeups leave a lot to be desired. The TKL set doesn't come with exactly everything you could use. There's extremely limited novelty keycaps per each row, the main set comes with no novelties, and each set makeup just feels like it's missing something. For an expensive keycap set, you should be getting a lot more keycaps to choose from to create something truly special.- Doesn't live up to the hype. I'm typing this review on a $40 set of keycaps that have the same level of detail, are a nice PBT with good build quality, and came with significantly more novelty keys for me to play around with because it was all one set and not 3-5 separate set makeups to try and buy

Authentic but overpriced
GMK is considered one of the best manufacturers for custom keycaps, but they're definitely overpriced -- and this set is even more expensive than usual GMK group-buy sets because it's kept in-stock year-round by Drop. For most beginners, this, Red Samurai, and GMK Laser might be some of the only GMK sets you can buy right away.But you shouldn't. At least, not without research and knowing this is exactly what you want: A GMK-quality set, with this specific kitting, in these exact colors, RIGHT NOW.If you need keys that aren't included (check very carefully), this set isn't for you.If you don't like the true-to-life colors (check review photos here, and photos on r/mechanicalkeyboards by searching "GMK Blue Samurai" there), this set isn't for you.If you don't want or need to spend $100 on keycaps right now, this set isn't for you.I used these for a build for my partner, and they worked great. He really liked the color of this set, and needed a set quickly. Had all the keys we needed for a YMDK split 75% build, including split spacebar support. There are some limited amounts of keys in the right profiles though, and the base kit doesn't come with novelties. The novelty kit is wayyyy overpriced and he wasn't sold on them, so we skipped it.Overall, they're nice, and authentic GMK -- even have the terrible trays to prove it -- but they're certainly overpriced. You can find in-stock keycaps of slightly lower quality but significantly lower cost and better bang for your buck at CannonKeys and Kinetic Labs. KBDFans also has a wide variety, but they ship from China so they'll be slower and more expensive for shipping. Check thocstock for even more options.There are better GMK sets (in quality, variety, kitting, etc.) if you're willing to brave aftermarket price gouging on r/mechmarket or wait for group-buy lead times. IMO this set isn't worth it, but it's available and it's real, so it's not deserving of more than a one-star deduction.
