Title: Hello!
Post by: rmrfslsh on Fri, 26 June 2015, 08:10:56

I'm new to this whole "mech" keyboard thing and figured maybe some of you folks might be able to identify these keycaps for me.  I looked all over Amazon for them and couldn't turn anything useful up.  I'm interested in the black "Vader" cap to replace my esc key, the skull/pot ones are kinda lame, so you don't have to go nuts tracking those down.

Thanks in advance!

welcome! I'm still pretty new to keyboards as well but i'll try to help.

You can get a black stormtropper (not vader but still starwars) here http://techkeys.us/collections/artisan

Those are counterfeit Clacks.  They're heavily frowned upon here.  Real ones are something you will spend a fair bit of time looking for.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Most, if not all, of those custom keycaps are fakes illegally duplicated from copyrighted designs or legitimate artisan keycap makers.

There are a few genuine Darth Vader keycaps around, but most are quite rare and usually very expensive.
