Title: Cheap macro/numpad keycaps?
Post by: yui on Mon, 26 October 2020, 03:56:03

Hello,
Do anyone knows of reliable and cheap sources of cherry keycaps for numpads or macropads?
The story is that i ordered pcbs (yampad https://github.com/mattdibi/yampad) to get myself a numpad and i was planing on giving the 4 that i did not need away to friends but i do not really want to bankrupt myself doing so either. so for switches i sourced gat silent red and brown, as for my experience with them those are nice switches, and the pad is hotswap so they will be able to change switches if they want down the line, but by far what seems the most expensive is the keycaps. and i am in Europe but feel free to post even if it does not apply to me, as it may apply to someone else.

cheapest would be going through PMK.. might not have your ideal colors but only option to buy single caps

or just post a WTB post, someone might have extras just laying around
