Anywhere to buy individual keycaps? (EK/UK)
« on: Mon, 06 September 2010, 17:44:28 »
Hi all,
Just signed up to this site which has been really handy in helping me pick my first mechanical keyboard (well I say first, I have used a BS model M back in the 90's but that wasn't mine...).

I'm going to be doing a little re-arranging of the layout to suit my needs. What it'll end up will be a hybrid of the conventional UK/US layouts. However I need the appropriate UK keycaps to do this. All I need is the 3£ key and the #~ key.

I could buy a whole new keyset or a second hand keyboard but both options seem expensive and wasteful.

Does anyone know of any individual or site who happens to sell individual keys?
They need to fit Cherry MX switches, and be black, preferably pad printed (would love double shot but at least with pad it would match the rest of the keyboard once it was worn out) although laser is fine. Standard cherry height ones would be good.

I could just leave it but there are other people who use the PC and I don't feel like being pestered every time they need the £ sign. I could also use stickers but frankly I'd rather leave those abominations alone.
