Searching for a good set of Keycaps. (cherry MX)

[Ps_domingo]

So I've been on the market for some Cherry MX Key caps. 

I want stealth keys (Front side print) that the green backlight of my BWU- Stealth edition will still bleed through and the WASD keys to be textured. 

 

Also are they Key caps that kinda like the WASD of corsair K90 or K70? But in black? 

Also are there and Razer Key caps in the market? 

Yes, I'm much of a razer fan boy but I really support other brand. It's just that I got the whole razer thing going and I wanna keep in theme. 

 

 

 

SIDEBAR! 

Are O- rings a good idea for browns? Would the Mech KB feel like a membrane KB?

The only textured WASD keys that I know of are the K70 ones. You can't get them in black, but maybe you could paint them.

I don't know of any razer keycaps.

Take a look at @Pistol 's keyboard. She uses Max Keyboard keycaps, which are translucent so the backlight will show through them. I'm not sure how stealth keys will look with a backlight, seems to defeat the point of stealth keys if you ask me.

These are the caps she uses http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-universal-black-translucent-mechanical-keyboard-keycap-set.html

This video shows what they look like with and without a backlight.

EDIT: Also, O-Rings are pretty pointless on browns if you ask me. They're already pretty quiet and O-Rings make them feel mushy

As far as I know, there are no side printed, backlit keys available to buy. I think @ covered everything else.

 

I have O-Rings on my reds and I wouldn't say they feel mushy, although it depends on the hardness of the O-Rings you buy. Soft ones will feel a little mushy and hard ones will feel similar to bottoming out regularly. Either way they reduce the travel distance slightly and make it a little quieter when you hit the keys hard.

I disagree, O-rings do make a good difference, they only soften you bottoming out the key. Therefore even quieter with no negative impacts.

This is awesome! BUT! I dont like the bleed through at the top. I still want the engraving to glow.

What's the measure (unit) for the hardness of the O-rings?

May I ask what are the specs of the O-rings you have?

They are ones that come with the G710+ so the black ones.

I disagree. I've tried the Logitech G710+ in the store and don't like the feeling at all which must be because of the preinstalled O-rings...

Ah, the ones I tried made the keys feel soft and slow. Maybe harder O-Rings are better.

I think this website should explain it better than I can, most keyboard o-rings are 40-50 A

Other than affecting the throw of the switch, but you shouldn't be bottoming out anyways. Buying O-rings to perpetuate your poor typing habits isn't the greatest idea.
