[WTB] 1 key Cap
« on: Tue, 12 March 2013, 19:14:30 »
Hey y'all, I need a single keycap. Don't care about condition as long as it is the correct shape (Mx please) preferably in the UK so I only have to cover shipping :)
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

I think people would need to know which keycap and what profile you are looking for. This should help you point it out

One suggestion would be ebay. There are some very good sellers that sell individual keycaps. They are not in the UK though. In the UK you could also take a look at these guys:

I don't understand.  Which keycap are you looking for?  Do you want a keycap with a "1" on it?

I think he needs a single keycaps likely for a stem mod, in which case OEM keycaps work best since the stem is the tallest.

lol, wut?  But which key is he going to stem mod?  Caps Lock?  I still don't understand.

OP:  If you want a single MX keycap for Row 1, I'll give you one for free, if you explain what is going on.

It doesn't matter which key. All he needs is a stem from any keycap. Any stem will do from any keycap.
