I'm tossing up between these two keyboards. I like the features of the TK but I want the near-blank keys on the Stealth. 

 

The TK seems to be the better keyboard combining the functionality of a full keyboard with the form-factor of a tenkeyless.

 

I would honestly prefer to replace the keycaps on the TK if that's an option.

 

 

Any advice or alternatives on this problem would be great, thanks.

I'm guessing you mean Rapid Stealth? Stealth is just a designation for the keycap style (legends in front of the caps instead of top) and if I remember correctly, there are/were Stealth versions of the TK too. If you do use num-pad then the TK would easily be the better option over Rapid. Compared to the Rapid the TK has one extra column of keys for a slightly wider form factor, but still much smaller than a full-size keyboard.

 

When it comes to switching keycaps, however, the TK has non-standard bottom row so you have to keep that in mind. Some research would be recommended. The Rapid has standard size keycaps all over, though.

Haha! I'm silly. There is a TK Stealth. Thanks for bringing that up. Problem solved.

Although I can't seem to find a retailer. It's on their website but not anywhere else. http://gaming.coolermaster.com/en/products/keyboards/tk_stealth/
