Keyboard key help

[Squirrel442]

Hiya all, I bought a gaming PC and this is my first one, I didnt go crazy with the keyboard and got a cheap on, an 'ADX firefight  K01' ive tried looking online to what keys they use so i can buy some different ones and swap them out.

 

Has anyone got any idea what keys I can buy for this board?

keycaps I suppose?

 

Hmm can't find data on switch type it has. The easiest way will be to remove one of the keycaps, and look at the underside of it. Take a picture and see if anyone here recognizes the connector.

i agree with @Jurrunio.. there are not really any reviews saying or showing the keys in much detail, so take one out and see if anybody kniws like that.. as for me, idk.. good luck

Take a key off. Does it look like this:

If so, that's a Cherry MX style keystem, meaning any Cherry MX compatible keycap set will work (because the rest of the layout looks quite standard.. Just gotta look out with the enter key size and the smaller shift on the left, that is less common in keycap sets).

Oof, those are most likely rubber domes with integrated key mount keycaps, I will be very hard to impossible to buy keycaps to replace those. 

I recommend that you buy a new keyboard with decent keycaps in the future, leopold is a good option FC750r and FC900r have probably the best build quality of any modern cherry mx keyboard and come with thicc doubleshot pbt keycaps which are really nice.

Yeah, you won't be able to get a custom keycap set for that keyboard. That mounting system is just not really standard, at least not enough to have replacement sets available.

Seeing as it is a membrane board, you probably would spend just as much on a keycap set as you spent on the board.

Looks like a common oem keycap mount, some of the dell optiplex keyboards use those I think, but no one really does good quality caps for them, usually just pad printing or laser ablated thin abs.

My old Logitech membrane used it too, but there is hardly a standard in keycap sizing (as in how slanted or not the keycaps are) and also barely no keycap sets out there
