Merlin Keycaps 171 Keys ABS Doubleshot Keycaps Cherry Profile Merlin Theme Style Thick ABS Keycaps for Cherry Gateron MX Switch Mechanical Keyboards (Merlin Keycap)

I have to think that the negative reviews were from people who own the GMK sets and don't want them devalued. The modifiers are a bit inconsistent but all the other legends are spot on and crisp. This is a 50$ set being compared with a set that costs 200$+. The sound difference is minimal compared to GMK. These are actual thick ABS and doubleshot. I haven't had any issues with warped spacebar or other keys, the molds seem flawless in my set.I believe this is the best value for money keycap set you can buy at the moment.

The iconic Olivia keycap set is in my opinion one of the most aesthetically pleasing keycap sets. Many clones have flooded the market however, I believe these are by far the best ones I've encountered. For one, typical clones will often use text-only on their function keys (enter, backspace, shift) whereas these (like the original Olivia keycaps) contain the text and the symbol (arrows). You can compare the 'enter' key with this set and any other Olivia clones and notice the difference.It's not just the legends used however as this is the ONLY Olivia clone set that contains a 2u shift. My favorite layout is a 64 key layout and unfortunately, almost all Olivia clones do not contain a 2u left shift. This leaves you with one the options to use the 1.75 left shift (leaving a lot of room on both sides, or using the 2u "0" key which is typically white and throws off the color. Luckily, this set does indeed come with a 2u shift so this has been an absolute godsend to accommodate 64-key layout users.Some other notes are that the alpha-numeric keys are not a pure white, rather they're a tad closer to off-white which work alright but I do think I would have preferred a pure white. The off-white unfortunately gives the appearance of a slightly used set of keycaps. It's a small nitpick, but one that I hope doesn't get worse if the alpha-numeric keys begin to show their age or yellow.Lastly, the keycaps appear generally uniform with clean legends. I'm not super nitpicky in this area so take that for what you will. Oddly, these keycaps performed poorly on some cheaper boards I've tested them on. For some strange reason, they were very muted and didn't have a striking sound profile. I've tested them against other cherry-profile keycaps. However, I am currently using them on a gasket-mounted acrylic keyboard and they sound wonderful. Easily outperformed the other cherry-profile keycaps I used beforehand.Overall, I will still give this set a 5/5. They do a lot right. My main gripe is that the white keycaps are more off-white and I think having them in pure white would have been preferable. The off-white gives off a "used" appearance but it's a rather small concern. I think these are the most accurate Olivia clones available and also include a 2u left shift making them one of the only Olivia clones I've encountered that are 64-key layout compatible.

There is only really 3 issues I have with this keycap set. One is the the keycaps are doubleshot is weird. It is not inconsistent by any means but it almost feels as if the two layers are completely separate from each other. It can lead to a very different sounding double shot keycap sound compared to other market keycaps. Another thing is the fact that the genuine gmk 8008 keycaps come with icon only mods while these are sold with icon and lettering. I personally feel that if you guys were able to make these be icon only. It would not only make it easier to create the mod keycaps and have them be a lot sharper looking but I feel it would even attract more Customers. The final thing I have to say is that the spacebar seems to be double shot 2 different colors when in reality it only needs 1 color. I believe that this is leading to a very odd sounding spacebar and it really affects how the doubleshot keycap is perceived. There are some inconsistencies in the mods here and there which is to be expected overall really good for the value but I expect these to get better over time.

Ive been using this keycap set and they still look just as good as the day that I got them. They were a bargain for being doubleshot keycaps taht fit my 40% board, There is some shine on my wasd from lots of gaming, but that is to be expected over time with any keycap set so I cant take away point for that.

The legends on the mods are absolutely horrid, super inconsistent and awkward looking. The keycaps are honestly not terrible quality on the alphas (other than the A key looking way thinner than everything else), sadly the alphas for the Olivia set are just Black on white and aren't anything special at all. Go buy literally any other clones because they can't be anywhere near this bad.

These are high quality keycaps for the price! Each keycap is double shot, and feel great to type on. The shipping was great and the options for the different sets are really nice. GMK Merlin isn’t an easy set to find, I’m glad to have a copy of it! Highly recommend this to people who want nice feeling keycaps

I really want to love these keycaps as they are one of the closest to GMK Olivia keycaps I have seen. My only complaint is that the legends are terribly inconsistent and awkward looking upon close inspection. Especially the "4," "Backspace," "Enter," and most if not all the function keys are very noticeable. Other than that, the colors, the thickness, the texture and the feel are great.

These keycaps are double shot, and offers a decent amount of keys for most layouts. Had an issue with a warped space bar, but the seller is sending me a new one. Nothing comes close to these keycaps price wise.
