These keys are designed to work on the Cherry MX keys, however while they work great, the overall shape is much different from your standard keys. There is much more surface area, and the keys are more akin to the chicklet-esque keys you get on a laptop... while giving the travel you'd get from a traditional keyboard. This provides a few interesting scenarios.
First, Amazon notaes Sheerness as a feature - they are not very sheer. The plastic is pretty solid, and pretty opaque. If you use these in a keyboard with LED backlights it won't be particularly great at shining the light through (as with many other keys). I'd love a semi-transparent (in line with those early see-through game console and controller colors that took the late 90s and early 00's by storm) keycap. I tried drilling tiny holes, in the hope that the paper inserts would do good to diffuse the light... no, it didn't. It just made reading the labels harder. All well, you can't win 'em all!
Ergonomics are alright. They're not terrible, but these keycaps definitely would feel better on a laptop rather than a standard keyboard. The larger top surface lends itself to larger labels, making it easier for custom graphics and writing on labels, but it throws off using the keys like normal; I've never found myself fumbling over a keypad when using it as a keypad than with these key caps - and I didn't experience this with the original keys that came with it. That said, they work PERFECTLY for my needs, whenever I stream, so I can't complain; I also don't use a 10-key much at home (at work... that's another story, but that's why I use a normal keyboard there!) so it's no big deal.
As for gaming... your mileage may vary. Because the ergonomics aren't the best, this can result in a learning curve for using the keys for fast paced games - that might not be good for you if you need quick, twitchy-friendly action. Secondly, depending on how you label the buttons, if your keyboard has a backlight, it may not do anything for visibility, but if you're in a better lit room (and you use the white keycap inserts that I did), you can probably view the labels without any issue.
Overall, they're good. They're great for utilitarian purposes, but the term "function over form" definitely rings in my head when using these. If you need traditional shaped keycaps, these are not for you. If you want a keycap that has a wider top surface area and lends itself for slightly nicer keycap inserts? These are for you.
The quality of these keys isn’t anything special, but they function and seem solid as though they will not crack or break over time. Observe the pictures I’ve posted if you need more clarification.

The quality of these keys isn’t anything special, but they function and seem solid as though they will not crack or break over time. Observe the pictures I’ve posted if you need more clarification.
One thing to consider is that this is different from a standard keycap profile, so they are a bit lower than the rest of the keycaps that came with my keyboard, but that isn't an issue for my use case. If you wanted to mix these and place them next to other keycaps you will probably end up with keys at different heights.
Of course, their intended purpose is, probably more than anything, to go on a macropad with printed labels. I can't see any reason whatsoever that they wouldn't actually be great at this. In fact, I'll bet if you invert the label (black outline, white character or symbol) they'll shine light through that part and look even better if you have LEDs for individual keys in your board. For their intended purpose I do think I can absolutely recommend them -- as well as potentially for other more specialized purposes.
