hi guys just bought my first mechanical keyboard from Wayne yesterday  just need some info normally where is the best place to buy keycaps? or its better to just order online? if its online, what are the keywords to search specifically for keycaps only? as i tried to search online but most results offer a full keyboard with high price

QUOTE(horns @ Mar 30 2018, 08:18 PM) there are plenty of better options, with different configurations (profiles, materials, printing types, etc.) just take your time to browse through first. there must be something better than clone hyperx key caps. haha well i just casually browse through seems like they only sell 5 pages worth of keycaps? but all seemed like plain ones unless im wrong?

QUOTE(quadcube @ Mar 30 2018, 10:14 PM) just get them from Taobao, plenty of choices  personal fav are PBT keycaps from EnjoyPBT. p/s: the keycaps might cost more than your keyboard well, its a pretty niche hobby any keywords to type? so far i only try keywords like mechanical keyboard keycaps LOL but the results bring me more of a full keyboards than just keycaps alone

QUOTE(quadcube @ Mar 30 2018, 10:44 PM) yea, they have the same stem, shouldn't be a problem. if your keyboard layout is the standard one, then you can change your keycaps without worrying much about some weird layout where the keycaps are almost non-existent  ya mine is all standard anyway i tried.. but difficult to search in taobao since i dont know how to write or read mandarin LOL

QUOTE(horns @ Mar 30 2018, 11:35 PM) use taobao's main search; with keywords supplied by our friends above. alternatively use aliexpress.com kprepublic's official website for non-chinese speakers is at https://kprepublic.com/ for kbdfans it's https://kbdfans.cn/yes it's very nice looking  .. this is another level of obsession hehe thanks!

QUOTE(horns @ Mar 31 2018, 10:12 AM) when you're bored with taobao's choices, you can also explore https://en.zfrontier.com/ it's more about group buys so for most items, they might take many many months to reach you.
