So i recently got a filco majestouch 2 and im loving every second im typing on it :D but thought of getting keycaps for just my WASD keys from WASD keyboards , wanna get 4 different colours for each key so here's my question , how to i choose the letters i want on the keycaps from WASD keyboards if im just ordering individual keycaps ?
THANKS!

If you're looking for a whole set, go into their custom keyboard maker and start using it to set up the caps how you wish. You will have an option to not buy the board, but only the caps.

Thanks! But currently only looking to buy keycaps for just my WASD keys as i dont really wanna spend a whole lot of money in a week :P

Aw, well them go into the individual custom keys. For the W, you'll want R3, and for the ASD, you'll want R2. There is a place to add the Text, which is what you want it to say. There are many options for how you want to align the text, as well as font for it. I will warn you, this will be a bit expensive though. If you're just looking for different WASD cluster, there are other options. Look at elitekeyboards.com or qwerkeys.co.uk. They have some with may come out cheaper for you, though they probably won't be the same height (not sure about qwerkeys...).

So I just noticed they actually have this already set up. http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/wasd-cherry-mx-keycap-set.html
Fairly easy. If you need more help with this, let me know.

ahhhhh , see what i did wrong , i clicked on individual blank keycaps that why i could not choose the lettering , guess i cant get 4 individual keycaps of different colours from WASD keyboards then , unless i try to shoot them an email and see if they would do it :P

No, you can. In the individual custom cap, here (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/printed-keycap.html). Click the drop down for keycap type, pick R3 1x1, pick your color and laser method, and then in text 1 box, type W. Follow all of the other options below then click add to cart. You'll noticed there is a second set of options for a second legend on the cap. This isn't necessary. Then, go back, and do the same thing for the next cap. You'll have to do this each time for each cap. For the A, S, and D, you'll need to pick R2 1x1.
