I've probably got a few kids stashed somewhere, how much are you paying?

Looking at my daughter's keycap collection, I don't think she'd be impressed by these.

I suspect she would want an all pink set next.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Having to add a few extra keycaps each time I buy some for me so my daughter doesn't feel left out.

At least my SO doesn't collect keycaps.

These look like the perfect keycaps for doge-lovers too. lol :)

PS: Wish these were Topre.  They would go great with my Dogeforce 55g.

Nonsense. Kids love buckling springs (because these make a lot of noise). And they love color keycaps (easy and cheap to dye). And they love watercolors on model Ms (protected by acrylic spray).

Don't waste your money on Cherry MX for kids. Let them each have their own buckling spring to go clickety clack on.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

My daughter likes my noisy keyboards because she can make more noise with them.

Although when I offered her the choice of Model M or HHKB to play Minecraft recently, she chose HHKB.

Ah, but HHKB is cute. I think kids will like that.

Ideal keyboard for kids should be SSK or kishsaver. Maximum noise, easily changed keycaps, easily painted casing.

Got kids?  Yup.  6, 12, and 14 YO boys.

QFR (blues) with MInecraft and Hazard novelty keycaps, plus red WASD clusters?  Got those as well.

Not even the 6YO is going with cute keycaps.

And my wife stole my Filco 104 (Browns) with Black-on-Blue Imsto PBT and Nyan Cat keycaps.

CC skulls would fly here, however.
