Do you mean white/beige sets like this?

Cheapest way is to look on eBay for old Cherry boards to strip the caps off. Otherwise, check the Classifieds or make a post in the Classifieds for people selling white/beige Cherry sets (once you hit 60 posts). They are quite abundant. In fact boost has been trying to sell a set for a while, but there are also others that pop up in better condition. Keep in mind that you will need a compatibility kit known as a "Moogle Kit" to adapt these old sets to modern boards.
It's a little more effort, but it's so much nicer to get the original keys and it's cheaper than buying new sets with the similar colour scheme from WASD for example.
Also, that third image in the OP are key caps from feng, who is a vendor on Geekhack.
Yeah, these look awesome.
but trying to find those sounds like a looong process. Plus now when you told me, I will need moodle kit too for those Cherry caps. How much is that kit?
I'm thinking - WASD set of key caps, not like original retro style I want, but similar - those grey versions - would cost me around $60, so about £35.
I saw some beige Cherry UK ISO keyboards going for £60. Plus that moodle kit, would be much more.
I'm not saying it's not worth it - I would love to have those original caps, but it sounds expensive. I didn't realise it will be that much :eek:
