These really bring out the sound of your board
I paired theses with Kailh Box Jades and oh man they are so crisp, they have a nice deep sound to them and are very satisfying to use. I've previously only used budget keycaps and I can say that these have a noticeably better quality. Plus they look rad.As you can see in the picture they can absolutely fit on a 75% board but you have to either fudge a couple keys on the far right column or sacrifice a uniform key profile. I used the 6 and 3 from my numpad as my home and end keys, and used a small "backspace" key for my delete key in the top right corner.A lot of complaints regarding SA profile is that they are wobbly, when I first got them I put them on a board with linear gateron yellows, and I can confirm that while still satisfying to type on the stem wobble was noticeable. I can't speak for tactile or linear box keyswitches but using clicky box jades or box navys seems to completely mitigate the wobble issue. That isn't an issue specific to these keycaps but rather the SA profile in general.All in all 5 stars, these are great quality and look fantastic.

Remind me of computer terminals I used in the 1970s!
I bought these keycaps to put on my new Wooting One keyboard. I was looking for something with a "retro" look that would be comfortable to use. I like the tall, sculpted profile of the SA style keys. The PBT plastic is supposed to make them wear well over time, so we'll see how they do. After a week of heavy use, they look great, but I've had my IBM Model M keyboard for over 20 years, and all the keys on that keyboard still look like new. So, I have high expectations.The keycaps don't seem to be as thick as the 1.5 mm that the seller's specs described. (As you can see in the picture, I measured 1.26 mm.) But they do seem adequately heavy and durable, so what's .24 mm among friends?The set came with many extra keys for other layouts and some novelty keys. I ended up using the keys labeled "Super" to label the Windows (system) keys on both sides of the space bar. One key was 1 unit wide, and the other was 1.5 units wide, so I placed the narrow one on the left side of the keyboard, and they look fine.I don't have a lot of experience with custom keycaps, but I am completely satisfied with this purchase. The price was a tad high, but there don't seem to be a lot of choices on Amazon for SA-style PBT keys, and most of the other online stores I looked at either didn't have this style of keys, or they offered them at one point but no longer have them in stock. This set was exactly what I was looking for, and the ASCII control codes are really a nice throwback.
