1800 isn't full size/100%. If you look, you can see right ctrl is missing and a few other keys. 1800 is a more compact version of full size essentially. They're not the same.

Also, that means it's not a substitute for TKL/65% with extra keys.

Even beyond that, you might want to be careful if you get any of these kits, as some layouts vary slightly. Some use a different bottom row layout, etc.

This is a decent price for a GMK keycap set, but I'd also advise looking into GMK and ABS. I'm not a fan of ABS personally because of shine issues and the glossy/oily texture. I prefer pbt plastic, though thick ABS like GMK is definitely popular.

Not a bad price, but I just wanted to clarify what you're getting here so no one orders one of these and doesn't have the right keys etc.

I just got a new yunzii AL80 and was checking this out. I like the color but I've heard they're not very high quality. I'll check out GMK at least for some new caps.

Just went through hell with a couple of Keychron boards and their broken idea of backlite keys. I find it appalling how so many are charging $100 plus for $0.05 cent key caps! These key caps are everywhere and can be found on Amazon for $12.00 or less! They're all plastic, unless they're metal, and most are north lit so pay attention to the LED placement on your board. If you don't need lit keycaps, $12 gets ya done for solid, if you do need proper backlit caps, well, $12 gets ya done there too! But $50 plus, a $100 plus, for ABS plastic???? Eat a dic-licous humble pie with those numbers! No is the answer if you ever had the question. Hell NO!

I've bought the $12-20 sets from Amazon and AliExpress and they aren't as nice as GMK, or the Drop DCX, or MT3 sets by far. The thicker plastic, ABS or PBT, sounds a lot better than the thin cheap sets that also have poor legends and mediocre quality control. At least 5x the price, prob not 5x better, but for sure a better experience.
