Where would be the best place to buy blank Keycaps? I could really use a Full set of Black Blanks or a mixture of blanks. I've Seen them on WASD Keyboards but i was wondering if there was maybe a Wholeseller that i could just get a but load of them from for cheap?

First, are you aware that different rows = different profiles?

Also, if you plan to go very large, SP is your best bet. If not, go WASD.

Yes I'm Aware of the different rows/Profiles I'm wanting the Actual Letter keys I believe they are the row 1 2 and 3 Keys. I've looked at SP But it was kinda Overwhelming i wasn't sure what i needed to ask for.

you need to send an email where you indicate clearly what you want, and Melissa will send you the prices.

She'll want you to indicate the exact product number, should be listed on the PDFs. Also don't forget SP refers to their rows 'upside down' compare to other keycap vendors and the community at large (so function and number rows are referred to as R1, etc).

Oh and the prices are the same, $1 per key for everything in inventory plus I think $10 shipping. Decent price to outfit a poker, pricey for much beyond that.

Basically, whatever you want -- it's a matter of preference.

I forget what profile most group buys use, so if you wanna mix and match with them somebody can probably tell you.

Sometimes you can find a whole set of keys in the colors you want but they might only be in one profile.

Exactly.

Although they weren't able to help us out with getting all the replacement key caps for a Kinesis Advantage :(
