New Keycaps, CM Storm Quickfire TK

I've had my keyboard for a while now (White, CM Storm Quickfire TK, cherry mx brown switches) and I absolutely love it. It's built like a tank, feels great to type with, and has a smart key layout with the form factor of 10-keyless and the functionality of a full keyboard. I feel like it's time to make it more unique by changing some of the keycaps and With a white frame it could look really sick. The F and numberpad keys will probably have to stay as is because of their dual funtionality, but the rest can all be changed. I would love to have your opinion on color design, printing, material, and the best place to buy them.  

 

Note: I am not so pro to be able to type on blank keys :( and the back light is white. My mouse is full RGB so colour matching isn't an issue.

 

Thanks!

Best place to get them will most likely be WASDkeyboards. As for designs and color. Definitely have to have some white keycaps, id also do front facing print

 

Front printed keys would definitely look sweet. I'm a bit scared that all white keys would get noticeably dirty after a while though.

A good wipe down the Isopropyl alcohol or going through a dishwasher or something will make them nice and white again.

What about vector double shot PBT/POM keycaps, you keep the backlight http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1003 or the Bi-Color pbt they are lush http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=771 this one is in green.

Thanks let me know if I said something useful. Cheers!

I kinda think it looks cool as is

 

Just keep in mind though that the bottom row on the QuickFire TK is not standard size so most Cherry MX keycaps won't fit that row
