Hey guys, just bought a Leopold 750r in cherry mx red and loving every minute of this keyboard. :p I just want to get some custom keycaps, but these stock keycaps, especially the spacebar feels so good. I'm thinking of either picking up the Tai-Hao Sweet Tooth keycaps on Massdrop, Varmilo Dye-Sub, or Vortex PBT Doubleshot (both mechanicalkeyboards.com), and I want to know which one will give me that same thock I feel on my spacebar, also which one is as thick as the stock 750r keycaps? Thx guys :)

You bought a keyboard that comes with very good PBT keycaps with nice profile and you want to buy cheap ABS keycaps or PBT with crappy OEM profile to replace those? :confused:
-
What saxophone said. The stock PBT caps on that board rule.

Actually Reds are my favorite switches next to browns. Its all personal preference my friend. ;)

I like to customize my board nothing wrong with that, and I know the step sculpture 2 profile is good.
And I didn't mention anything about cheap ABS keycaps nor are the pbts the one's I linked considered "cheap".
Crappy OEM profile is your opinion because I do like all profiles as long as they don't interfere with the keyboard.
Also please read the post more carefully next time thx. :thumb:

Those 2 are the same switch though

IMHO Leopold caps are one of the best out of all the pbt keycaps ive tried (varmilo pbt, pok3r pbt, ducky pbt, tai-hao pbt, DSA granite)
The only caps that could nearly compete might be the gateron keycaps that comes in blanks :thumb:

The only caps that could nearly compete might be the gateron keycaps that comes in blanks :thumb:
I heard that too, but I'm not leet enough for blanks :-[
I do love the keycaps and profile on this keyboard but the front prints are hard when I'm gaming.
I really wish leopold would release their dye sub pbt on mechanicalkeyboards.com, I would be all
over them in an instant :p

Then the best keycaps for you would be varmilo.
they are also made with SS2 profile and are very durable IMO.
Comes in different colors and printing options :thumb:
Ive also heard good things about enjoy PBT

I had 2 fc660m and in both keyboard the letters gone away (yellow and then disappear a little) after few month of typing. So, does keycaps from 750r are much better than 660m? :D

They're really good keycaps, the best I've tried in any keyboard period imo. And also front printing never wears off. I only want to change because the front printing is hard when playing games for me. I can touch type by muscle memory but not memorizing every letter locations.

I read somewhere at Varmilo makes the keyboards for Leopold. So, if that is true then they also make there keycaps for them.

Originally Leopold had a plant in China that made most of their boards. However, they had trouble with the plant selling off-brand Leopold boards without their name. If I recall, they then moved their plant to Taiwan and Varmilo was formed as the name brand of the old manufacturing plant. If you look at the 750R it should say made in Taiwan now.
That aside, if you like those stock key caps and the profile, Varmilo would be the most like the Leopold caps.(Leopold may even still contract Varmilo to make key caps for all I know!)

Thats great news going for varmilo PBT :thumb: you are welcome! (be warned about red varmilo caps tho, they look more like red orange)
