Title: Where to buy keycaps in Australia
Post by: Msiys on Sat, 20 August 2011, 01:12:02

Hi everyone first post! :wave:

I just got a filco metallic blue cherry blue keyboard and am loving it.

I am new to mechanical keyboards am would like a few suggestions as to where to buy keycaps from in Australia as auspcmarket (distributor), ebay and such has little for filco.
This site is a little overwhelming especially the wiki keycaps section with so many keycaps to choose from!!  What sites can i buy direct from in aus or international that are recomended or is it best to buy from here?

Any particular threads here that could inform a newbie like myself? So I can start ordering?

cheers  Sim

Welcome to Geekhack and imsto just started another group buy.  Here's the link (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?21177-new-group-for-KBC-keycaps-including-104).  They'll fit your Filco perfectly.

Cheers bro! What exactly is a group buy? The engraved gold on dark grey sounds cool.

Group buy usually consists of OP gathering all the info/interest, collect and send the money to manufacturer then wait for the final product to be shipped back, after that he/she would distribute the final product, which in this case are those keycaps.
