Where to get custom keycaps

[EunSoo]

Hi, I am going to start modding my Corsair k70 when it arrives and I want to start off with keycaps before I do anything else because that is the easiest. I've been to a few sites for it but I am wondering what is the best place to get a set pre-designed or where I can design one that would match my generic red themed setup.

Spoiler

Thanks!

I got rid of the printer a bit ago. How and why would I mod it tho? Thanks for the link

Its just slightly crooked, which gets emphasized by the tilt of the PC. I noticed it when I first built the PC years ago but never fixed it lol. I have looked at that site before but it didn't have all of the color options that I would have wanted.  Mainly because I have to make it work with a red themed build and I can't find a set that I like. I might end up dying a set of white keycaps myself to the colors I want.

be careful with the paint you use as keycaps have constant use and bad paint will scrape off

I'm not going to be painting them. Instead, I have looked into a process where you get this plastic dye where you put it in a pot of water, boil it, and then dump the keycaps in for a bit.

Modding and k70 does not work together, non standard bottom row is a pain in the ass for keycaps. Vortex has a kit just for it but it's black and white, you can get the white and prob submerge them in red or whatever color you want to mod.

I think any keyset that has a layout with a 6.5x spacebar will work. It is just kinda hard to find one that works for me because I want the entire thing to be white (I might have to resort to the getting one with two colors one), have windows, and be PBT.

Um.. the vortex set I was talking about is white, translucent, and Pbt doubleshot

Step 1, get a 3d printer

Step 2, set for life

Get a bridgeport mill, mill a set of really nice keycaps.

 

Then gift the mill to me ♥
