Title: Need Help Finding This Keycap set
Post by: Jpw926 on Thu, 21 November 2013, 00:23:59

Hi, i have been trying to decide what keycaps to get for when i get my first mechanical keyboard. I would like to have a set like http://i.imgur.com/FFSW4UY.jpg
I was hoping someone could help me figure out if these are pbt and where i might be able to purchase them. Also will these keycaps fit any mechanical keyboard or will they only fit Filco? Thanks.

Also if you have an opinion on a 180$ filco brown switch vs a 89$ Cm storm quickfire rapid brown switch, it would be much appreciated.

Those particular caps will fit any ANSI layout TKL or smaller board.  Also Filco and QFR are virtually identical.

I have two QF (one QFR one QFS), both are fine, solid, reliable boards.

Filco might have a slight edge, but you pay a lot more for basically the same keyboard.
