Title: Steelseries Apex Keycaps
Post by: Kylian on Mon, 25 January 2021, 12:38:48

Hi! I have a Steelseries Apex keyboard, 64150, and some of my keys have lost the drawing of the letter, they are only transparent, I have tried to contact steelseries but they do not send replacement for this keyboard, is there any place where I can buy keycaps?

Thx in advance!

This is the keyboard, https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-gaming-keyboard

Never seen this before:

Looks to be some proprietary rubber dome-slider mechanism. The board is no longer supported by Steelseries. You could be out of luck.

Thx you so much for your answer!
I have been looking at many websites but I have not found anything, it is a shame because the keyboard is great for me, I have thought to switch to a mechanical one but it barely makes noise and I do not know, well I will keep looking, if someone finds something I would appreciate it much.
I have even thought about painting the key, but I have not found the typeface that steelseries uses for this keyboard.
I said if someone comes up with something, I need help, I'm blocked.
Cheers
