Hello all,
I am working on my first build, and joined a group by for Matt3o key-caps, but they will not ship until June of next year (probably will be delayed too). But all my other parts are going to be arriving before Christmas. So I am looking for a good basic key-cap set that is a cheap as possible without being crap. I would like them to still be decent enough to use on another keyboard when I replace them, but seeing as they will be replaced on my primary I would like to keep the cost down as much as possible.
Additional question, I am building a 1800 Compact layout. All the basic key-cap sets I have looked at so far do not have the 1u "0" key for the num-pad, only the 2u size. So I would love a source that has basic sets but also either include those extra keys for special layouts, or allow substitutions for keys.
Thanks in advance.

Kbdfans has a lot of reasonably priced sets- https://kbdfans.cn/collections/keycaps/products/dsa-dolch-145keys-keycaps as an example,they also have other laser etched sets that are slightly cheaper that will include the keys you are looking for.

Nice site. I ended up playing more than I should have... found a nice PBT double shot set on sale for $100. It's a different color scheme so I can use if for a different project.
Thanks,
