Hello Forum!

I use an Asus Strix Pro mechanical keyboard, i got it a year ago for $90 AUD (Australian Dollar), i am very happy with the keyboard. It feels very different to other switches, i chose the brown variant of cherry MX switches and have since loved their sound and feel. I have tried other keyboards and they feel very different even with the same style of switch like myt mates G710+. I have used other cherry mx brown switches since at tech stores and i hate the feel compared to my keyboard. That is why i do not want to purchase another keyboard. But the Asus strix uses orange lighting, and it irritates me because of my complete black and red setup. I would like to change the switches however I do not know any Australian keycap sellers and that is where i would like some help. I think the keyboard would look great in a black and red set up, with no orange LED's turned on or maybe blank red keycaps and the LED turned on howeverit will just highlight the red and orange mix.

these are what i use:

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/vortex-doubleshot-pbt-keycaps?mode=guest_open

MD-4818_20141215143001_5f63e979c603c4ab.

 

they will never fade or wear out (keep in mind you only get 104 keycaps, so you wont be able to cover the macro keys)

Thanks man, do you know of any other keycap sellers but are based in AU?

i was still editing my post above,

With those keycaps $40 might seem expensive but they will outlast your keyboard and possibly your next few (they are worth it)
