Does it use Cherry MX or something else?

Those are called space invader switches (because of the "faces"), those are not too common I think. Your best bet might be classifieds or ebay.

The problem is I cant find it, was trying many sites already and got just one answer:
-"$100 minimum order value, so these 4 keys will cost $100 to produce"

best option is buy one on ebay and scavenge parts

I think nuibio had some SIs for sale, forgot if it had all caps though.

NMB Hi-Tek switches.  Your best bet is to get an NMB Right Touch, ideally a broken one that has at least the caps you need.  Careful buying NMB keyboards though, because they eventually changed to a dome with slider format..  the larger the casing, the more likely it is to have Hi-Tek switches.

Perhaps you could work out a deal to buy just those 4 caps from this guy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331142777970

I have a few of these but they are odd.

I am a bit reluctant to start selling off these pieces willy-nilly but if you feel confident I will consider it.


I have a Tab that looks to be 1.5x

I have an Alt that looks to be 1.25x

I have a Lock that looks to be 1.5x

I have a Cap that is 1x and has a light hole

I have 2 Controls that looks to be 1x and 1.25x
