key caps of corsair boards are really of low quality. it's a pity really. corsair have charged premium for them, yet they cannot afford to make gaming boards whole with a better quality key cap set. yes it's about costs, but we are not asking for gmk.

grab one better set from taobao, or just do rma if the warranty is still valid.

yes you can use aliexpress.com, you can try with keywords like 'pbt double shot'. just don't go for those usd9 ones because those are damn thin pbt caps.

i suggest you look at iKBC f108 rgb also, https://www.storeuni.com/collections/mechan...-f108-rgb-black

for comments about m500 maybe you can also ask in steelseries thread.

they are just personal brand preference to me. gaming boards in general are overpriced.

these days you can get boards with lower price with more flexibility and better build quality than gaming boards.

Looking at this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Black-108-k...8c-c7a8824fe66b

Or maybe I should buy myself Logitech G810 and be done with it.

i think this one is good.

g810 uses their own stems. it will be hard for you to find compatible replacement key cap sets.

Thanks.

I got no issue as long as the keycap doesn't break like the one and only Corsair K70 Lux RGB. This is the only keyboard I own that has broken keycaps after 30 years of using PC.

you're right. it's a terrible choice for them to decide on putting something with bad quality that are interfacing users directly. (it's the cheapest of all parts in that board some more)

i have switched my k70 rgb to pbt double shot also, because of its ugliness after few months of use (abuse). (the paint is too thin tbh; worn off after some time)

Yup. None of my previous keyboards has broken keycaps. Just loss of printed letter.

I might try Thermaltake Esports Keycaps. I saw it on sale at Viewnet. It is pricey though.
