[sn0re]

[everything count to life]

You can get key caps from WASD which are is the us but ship to Canada http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/full-keycap-sets.html

I don't think you will be able to find keycaps in physical stores since they are a pretty small market and considering the variations within the product. But if you would like to see colours in person before you buy, you could buy the sampler kit from wasd to check them out

You wont find any in stores especially a complete set but thats why the internet exists right?

Right. It's also difficult to PM them for discussion before buying them(vendor that have many customers and have too much errands to do). I've been waiting for few days for them to reply me back.

I know a guy you can talk to about a Thick Dyesub PBT Black on White 104 set. It wont have a problem fitting your boards as its standard ANSI 104 just like your board. I actually bought the set for a friend a couple months back and liked it so much after typing on it that im doing my best to talk myself out of buying a set. Your going to need a GeekHack account though as they are not up on his site yet. If your interested sent me a PM on here.

if its these http://goo.gl/AHtcG theyll be fine and i know the seller who I have bought a bunch of stuff from. I would get the dyesub ones though as they are rarer and if youve never used a blank board before for an extended period its quite the change. Also the keycaps I was talking about are different than the dyesub ones on ebay http://goo.gl/d12kh which are pretty common if you know where to look. hope this helps.

i think have some nice dark black dyesub legends on there would make it look like %50 more sexy.

This and the Topre black on dark grey are going to help improve my typing skill, I rely too much on sight when I type.....these are good trainers for me.

 

BTW, I'm in with the GB for the Miami key caps over at GH.....geez, 135USD including shipping, they'd better look good!

I have black on black PBT for Cherry MX which is now out of stock everywhere. I quite like them, though they are no longer on that board.

probably not

i know that there is some different types of keycaps,i have a blackwidow and it would be nice if the keys would be the same

Huh? Are you basically looking to replace the keycaps on your black widow with the exact same set?

Huh? Whatcha trying to say? :blink:  The point of getting different key caps from the regular (difference can be color, design, material used and such). Sometimes, the colors and legends can look radically different, and it changes the look of your keyboard.....hence, the penchant amongst mech keyboard enthusiasts to but different key caps to change the look of an otherwise ordinary looking keyboard.

 

I'm looking at getting a set of Miami key caps for one of my keyboards, either the Ducky G2 Pro or Filco. yes, the key caps looks odd with the mix of colors and legends, but I like it.....and I'm comfortable with my masculinity to get and use it...of the key caps shown, I'm not getting the ISO set, everything else is on my list.

lol so the miami caps are back, last time they didnt make it to full GB even though there was enough interest.

I think this time's the real deal since OP had stated he didn't wish to wait too long, and by page 5 he's said he's already hit the number of orders he'd had in mind. Regradless, I'm hoping this GB goes thru, looking forward to brightening up my rather drab Ninja or G2 Pro.
