Any R3 OEM profile keycap. Cherry is also a keycap profile but it's different, so it should fit but would look weird.

Post by: k4jtek on Thu, 08 July 2021, 07:57:20: It should be specified in product description. If not, check this (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101547.msg2785790#msg2785790) image for reference.

Post by: donny on Thu, 08 July 2021, 08:28:57: Thank you, I have another question, but I don't know if it's okay to ask it here, or open a new topic, there are three buttons that do not work the CAPS, TAB, and HOME buttons, Do you have any idea how to fix them diy, should I try and take the switches off

Post by: k4jtek on Thu, 08 July 2021, 08:58:03: I think you should open a new topic, but if you don't want to take keyboard apart you can remap these keys with SharpKeys or similar software.
