I bought some keycaps on mecarket that look really nice on my hhkb.

As you can see I'm missing only a single key. I ordered one from eBay, but it says the color is "random" so I'm just really hoping it comes blue.
Anyways, does anyone have any ideas on what to do if this doesn't work out? Also feel free to post any keycap stories.

You could dye the cap if it is pbt, you might not get the exact same color but it will be close

If you bought the $5 set I found that says random color I'd just buy another set or two and see if it works out. You should be able to sell the extra sets here or on r/mm for the same price you bought them and $5 will be cheaper than buying dye and sacrificing a few enters trying to get a color match.

Yeah that is the one! That's a really good idea, I should try that.

I have definitely considered dying, but I'd like to see if I can straight up purchase it first, just because I know learning to dye can be a ton of trial and error.
