Just bought a new mech. keyboard, want keycaps now
« on: Sat, 08 September 2012, 15:20:23 »
I bought a CM Quickfire Rapid (Cherry MX Brown) with a 30% code I found on this site.   I'm wondering if there is a seller that has the Filco ninja style keycaps and would they be able to fit in my new keyboard.  Im new to this site so be kind.

Welcome to geekhack.

You want "side printed" keycaps. They are available on ebay, Taobao, and other places as well. Here's an example:

Keep in mind the keycaps I've linked are PBT, which is way cooler than mere ABS (that the filco ninja keycaps are made from.)

You have side printed keycaps for sale on your 'site? That's awesome! Where?
