Cheap Cherry MX Keyboard with replaceable caps?

[Trav_X]

Want to find a nice Cherry MX keyboard with easily replaceable keycaps so I can add my own custom ones. Not sure what Cherry MX switch I want, most likely Reds or Browns. Thanks all! Hopefully under $70 USD would be nice.

Every Cherry MX keyboard has easily replaceable key caps. All Cherry switches share the same key cap stem, that thing that looks like a plus.

 

As for keyboard: not too many with Cherry switches around $70. I got my CM Quickfire Rapid (Tenkeyless, no backlight) for $70 and changed its keycaps with white/purple ones.

Do you know of any specific keyboards that are less than $65-70?

Full size or tenkeyless?

Near $70, it's hard to find 'em. Up your budget a tad and you can get some nice keyboards.

 

For $80, you can get a Ducky Zero with any popular switch:

For $70, you can get a K65 in Red switches:

I would look around on other sites to find cheaper keyboards and keyboards that are on sale. It's card to go wrong with a keyboard when you're gonna replace the key caps. Just remember: any keyboard with media keys will probably not have replacement media keys. You'll not know what the media keys do with replaced key caps.
