Title: Are those 5-15 dollar coloured keycap sets on eBay any good?
Post by: Internetlad on Wed, 26 October 2011, 22:32:31

Or are they just ass plastic?

Where's where's a good place to buy entire sets of keycaps? I'm pretty new to this but i've seen specific sets (special ones, WASD, etc.) on EK etc.

wasdkeyboards.com sells complete sets. they are ABS tho. but they have a good selection.

Qtan (member here) has some keycaps for sale.. and might be able to find something you'd want.

They are garbage from what I have seen; the printing wears off within days.

Beware ... they are not all the same:  http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?22773-Warning-eBay-seller-qdigit_mart-selling-keycaps-that-are-not-what-they-appear-to-be

That said I now have a set (37) of the red K-Force ones and while they are semi-cheap feeling I like them.
