Title: Replacement W key
Post by: nevica on Fri, 25 January 2013, 06:35:22

Hello,

I want to replace my W key on my CM Storm TK cherry MX red keyboard.


I have been looking to replace with a textured or profiled key to provide some tactile feedback for gaming.

Key needs to be:

Cherry MX
ABS
Profiled in some way

Any idea where I can get one of these?

Welcome to GH!

Wasdkeyboards.com has some textured keys that will fit that profile. Just visit there website or you can go the the vendor forum and talk to them.

First of all welcome to Geekhack!

As for your question I would recommend going here http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/textured-cherry-mx-keycap.html they can provide exactly what you want and have very fair shipping costs even internationally.

You would be looking for a R3 keycap to replace that W

Hi there,

Thanks for the info. I was looking for something a bit more substantial. (like a large bump or dot).

And ABS not plastic.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

ABS is plastic.

Yes, your right. ABS is plastic. I meant to say grip coated as well.

These are textured :

You would need a R3 1x1 keycap.
