I'd get caps elsewhere. The WASD caps aren't that great. A cheap (<$40) set of TaiHao doubleshot ABS are much nicer caps, for one example.But can I customize them?

Yeah, I wanted to set up a layout and stuff. I could always iDye PBT like I'm going to do with my HHKB. I don't need custom prints, and I would even go with blanks. Is text peeling the only issue, or do the WASD keys wear?I'd get caps elsewhere. The WASD caps aren't that great.

By "customize" I'm guessing you mean being able to choose colors, markings, etc. If that's what you want then WASD keycaps are about your only choice.
What do you mean by custom keys? Just something not stock?This is what I meant:
Take a look on pimpmykeyboard.com (http://pimpmykeyboard.com/). Much better quality than WASD, and you can get packs of blanks, full keysets etc.
WASD is about your only choice for ordering caps designed by you. They're awful caps, though. I wouldn't give them to my enemy.Or dye PBT myself. How are Tai-Hao?

I also found some neat sets on Massdrop. I give up on fully custom keys, at least for now.WASD is about your only choice for ordering caps designed by you. They're awful caps, though. I wouldn't give them to my enemy.Or dye PBT myself. How are Tai-Hao?

I assumed you wanted custom legends as well. If you want just base colors, then yes you can dye as well.
Never tried Tai-Hao, but I heard they're great for the price.
So, recently I bought an Ergodox and I was wondering where I can get labeled custom keycaps.
I started to create a keyboard layout and I wanted to order them at WASD, but, as far as I understood, they are poorly made it.
Moreover, I programmed the keyboard in a such way that DSA Granite modifier doesn't apply for that..
Any help? At this point, I think I'll go with coloured blank keymodifiers.
:( I really wanted the death star and batman logo keycaps..

Max keyboard is selling the same custom keycaps as WASD, but they have limited color choice (no beige for example), and some extra keys are not available. (short right shift for 60%)

The design is nice, but they are made of 0.5mm thin ABS, they have very shiny and slippery surface, and make terrible sound if you hit them hard.
After 1 month I replaced them with thick PBT caps, which are much more comfortable and less noisy:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/TITXM24.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/LFt2unA.jpg)
Left to right:
- Cherry MX-Board 2.0 stock caps (1.3mm lasered ABS, ultralow profile)
- Gateron blanks (1.4mm PBT, half height, Cherry profile)
- Max caps (0.5mm ABS, custom printed, tall OEM profile)
- vintage BTC 5131C caps (0.5mm lasered ABS, half height, almost Cherry profile)
Now I'm looking for somebody, who can make any ISO layout on thick PBT caps in good quality. (dyesub preferred)
I don't want to put stickers on the blank caps again.
