Title: dk1008 keycaps

Is it easy to get something to replace keys on that model of Ducky?  I"ve never replaced keycaps before but the keycaps on my DAS and WASD are way better.  I thought maybe new keycaps might improve the typing experience on this one as I use it for work.  They're very loose and light.  Kinda like typing on hotels from Monopoly.

If you have the version that is normal ansi enter no problem, you have lots of choices. If you have the older version with the huge J return... well those are not as easy to find, will have limited option.

No, it's a typical US layout.  Where would I look for replacements or how do I tell what is compatible?  

I'm thinking of getting a cherry blue keyboard at some point but this isn't a bad keyboard at all.  It's grown on me much like the red cherry's have grown on me whereas at first I felt like I was going to drive my fingers right through the board.

Any aftermarket sets that say 'Filco compatible' you will be good to go. There are lots of sources here, elite e-sports, wasd, etc, etc... I would start in classifieds or the groupbuys sections. There are always a bunch of nice sets up at any time here. If you can't find what you are looking for you can branch out to taobao.
