To be exact, you're looking for key caps, not keys. A key comprises of the cap and the switch. To be able to swap switches, you'd have to unsolder the old ones.

 

There's a list of keycap vendors in the OP of this thread: 

One thing you should note is that the caps don't necessarily fit the switches. Razer makes their own switches (and caps) that look a lot like they could be cherry MX-compatible but I'm by no means sure and don't have the time to confirm. In case you didn't know, Any Cherry MX-compatible caps fit any Cherry MX-compatible switches (assuming the layout/language is the same and the slope of the keys isn't weird) Cherry MX is a very common switch type but it's still just one line of switches by one manufacturer. Technically it'd be some sort of licensing/patent trading deal if the Razer switches could mate with Cherry caps. 

 

Tl;Dr: If you can confirm your keyboard takes Cherry MX caps, go fucking nuts, sky's the limit! If not, find caps that are made for your keyboard specifically.

No, it's normal just like any other  but it has razer green switches instead of Mx. Total clone TBH.
