Hello everyone! First post here :)
I am looking to buy KEYCOOL 87 mechanical keyboard, but I have a few questions.
Can I get new keycaps for it? Are they differently angled or different height?
For example can I purchase this and put it on KEYCOOL?

Sorry if the questions are stupid, but I really want to learn more about customizing mechanical keyboards.

I'm buying a Keycool 87, also, with PBT keycaps. Yes, you can replace all the keycaps. Those from eBay seller WASDkeyboards (also at www.wasdkeyboards.com) will be the same height as the stock keycaps on the Keycool. That novelty LoD keycap from eBay seller key-pop (also at www.key-pop.net) will be slightly lower profile, but not radically so.

Makes sure that when you buy keycaps that you read what row it's for.

Thanks for the info, ordered my Keycool this morning from Qtan. :)
It will be a long month waiting :D
