Title: Where to find keycaps compatible with Kinesis Advantage
Post by: shockwave on Sun, 29 April 2012, 14:30:19
Where can I buy keycaps that are compatible with my Kinesis Advantage? The keycaps on my Advantage are fine (they're actually brand new). I would like like to find some that are different looking, for the hell of it.

Of most importance to me is not to change the size of the keys, since I want the sizes to stay just how they are.

Try some spherical or flat(uni profile) DS from SP/Devlin?

Might I direct you to thi following topic:
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?23446-kinesis-advantage-keycap-replacement-limitations

In it, some awesome GH'ers have found the exact profiles of all the Kinesis keycaps, and some have successfully found suitable replacements for most of them from WASDkeyboards.

The largest issue is that four of the keycaps near the thumb cluster are the super-tall row5 ones. This issue has been approached in several ways.
