Hi there!
I'm new to custom keyboards in the sense that I never made one, but I know how to make one, I was using a Steelseries Apex M800, but I broke 3keycaps during the  cleaning process (they are fragile is the Steelsreies custom low profile switches) and after 3 or 4 years that I had it, it finally stopped working some keys, so I took my brothers keyboard a Cooler Master Masterkeys L.
So now I want to make one from the beginning and I really mean the beginning, so I'm going to make a custom PCB and all of that. I was thinking on using kailh choc switches but i found that the keycaps are not that much available, is there other solution that is low profile because I really do like it.

And before anything else
Thank you

Hi b1gsh4d0w. Welcome to Geekhack.

How were those switches to type on? I have never heard much about them. I think some of Azio's retro line of keyboards have similar switches, but I don't know that they're similar enough to share caps.

What switches have you got in that Masterkeys? I have one of their old Quickfire Rapids and think it is a great board for what it is.

I'm no expert on low profile switches, but the chocs are probably the most common anyway. It seems like people seem to typically end up 3D printing their caps for those. It is a shame that they're rare even in laptops. They feel absolutely wonderful for such low profile switches. I wish I could find a laptop that has the clickbar ones. There's that one open-source laptop that uses choc switches, but it costs a fortune for very little performance.
