What is the absolute cheapest full set of MX-compatible keycaps out there, including shipping to the US? The cheapest I can find are the ABS ones that EK sells, which come out to about $30 with shipping.
I don't actually intend on buying any, I'm just curious how cheap you can get keycaps.

Harvest caps from a G81-7000. In the last GMK buy, inlikeflynn was selling those caps for $10. I've gotten other G81-7000 cap sets for $15 shipped and free. These are cheap too (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48953.0).

Well if your not buying then what does it matter :p
Also some people sell caps from their OEM boards for cheap

Why you 2 ^^ not recommend Tai Hao GB? Wont be as cheap when resold but keypop will be selling brand new sets for not too bad. I guess about $20? + shipping?

104? black keys, text transparent Mionix Zibal 60's - $15 and free shipping (~14 cents each).

The keys have a matte feel/look that I thought I was not going to like, but I did (it makes the keyboard look more professional?)
For the EK's you have to buy two sets (the shipping is the same) so you can get them at ~25 cents each.
Maybe more sets (same shipping?) in which case you'll pay less than 25 cents each, but don't forget the key caps cases you'll get!
