Have you checked if your keyboard has a standard layout?

What color(s) do you want?

whatever comes up on ebay when searching for "black chrry keycaps" or similar, you wont be getting a full set of super nice ones for $30

Here is a website that vets the compatibility of their keycaps to keyboard. It looks like a standard keycap set (apart from the entire bottom row will fit). For the bottom row, it looks like the spacebar and both control and alt keys won't fit and the windows/fn keys would need a custom cap. Basically, when keycap searching you want PBT double shot injection. Amazon has a bunch, there are multiple companies that sell their own keycap sets and may have customer support where you can ask about specific keyboard layouts because so many boards are not standard.

Keycaps are more about preference than anything else.

 

That said there are things to to consider that one could feel are better than other things.

Material: PBT, POM, ABS

Print method: Dyesub, Double shot, laser etch, pad print

Thickens of the plastic.

 

There there are more subjective things :

Profile: XDA, DSA, SA, DCS, OEM, Cherry

Font style

Color scheme

 

I don't think I could find anything under $30 that I would want to use.
