Replacing key switches?

I don't have a mechanical keybord, but i wanted to replace the key switches to cooler looking ones, i just can't seem to find where to find replacements for membrane key switches! does anyone know how?

Membrane... Doesn't have a switch, its just a membrane layer that has a little thing that hits the PCB and completes a circuit

EDIT: Did you mean Key Caps? Every keyboard uses a different stem and design most likely, so its impossible to find key caps as well.

There really isn't any, because the styles of keycaps(and "switches") vary by manufacture and model, so the 3rd party support is nonexistent.

Edit: The reason why mechanical keyboards have many replacement and "cool" keycaps is because most mechanical keyboards use the same layout, size, and + shaped peg for mounting the caps.
