CAN i buy sherry MX keycaps (mechanical keycaps)? (for a Razer Blackwidow Chroma)

Redicat

Hey guys you know those keycaps used for cherry MX keyboards (Mechanical Switches) i'm wanting to buy that but its hard to find on the Internet.

 

I currently have a Razer Blackwidow Chroma using their cherry mx Razer switches find out info HERE

The thing is without those keycaps the LIGHTSHOW is sooo much better its way brighter than with those black keycaps on it so i'm looking for transparent keycaps for mechanical keyboards AZERTY LAYOUT

 

And some of my keycaps are broken....

 

So if you guys can give me a site where you can buy transparent keycaps working for the Razer Mechanical Keyboard Blackwidow Chroma that would be very nice :)

 

FORGOT TO TELL I DONT WANT TO BLIND TYPE SO PRINTED KEYCAPS ONLY

Razer doesn't use Cherry MX switches.

Either way..

 

Take a look at this:

http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/keycap-compatibility

You see you can't replace all keys with what WASD keyboard offers

Soo you can sustomize keycaps the way you like and order them? is that how it works on that site?

 

I dont know how to do that soo if you could give me instructions, thanks.

 

EDIT: NVM their keycaps aren't compatible with backlighting keyboards.

I only linked that site as a reference, as I knew it.

Was not sure if it was compatible with backlight.

While Razer does not use Cherry MX switches anymore, they use their own switches, based off of Kailh, which in turn is based on Cherry MX (although cheaper and lower quality in general)

 

So, in general Cherry MX keycaps are compatible with the new Razer keyboards.

 

However: since the Razer keys are not standard lay-out, you might have to search for more specific keycaps. 

 

Check out these:

They are clear, but black tinted so they will look cool on your board and still let through more light.
