Buying Loepold fc700r keycaps

[smefster]

Anyone know where can one buy single keycaps for the leopold fc700r.
I'm asking mainly because of the lower profile keys this keyboard has, also I would rather they be made from PBT like the other keycaps on this keyboard.

I found this: http://leopold.co.kr/?doc=cart/item.php&it_id=1349349638
But its in Korean and they dont seem to ship abroad.

Thanks..

Mine came stock with thick PBT keycaps. I'm a little confused as to what you're looking for.

It sounds(looks) like he's asking where he can buy extras, because one has broken or isn't suitable for typing on.

I don't know where, but GLWF

Just buy Cherry Profile keycaps..should be fine..

I saw someone say they're higher than Cherry and lower than OEM but they look like Cherry to me...

They're in between.

I would so love a set of blank grey Leopold caps for my FC700R

You sure? They're pretty much identical from what I can see...if anything they're slightly lower... Same thing I see as reviewed by some Korean site..

Well I didn't mean exactly between, but "slightly lower" or "pretty much identical" doesn't mean they're equal in height.
WFD has a set and is the one who told me.

I'll agree with Jocelyn here. I have a stock set and they're definitely not equal to the Cherry profile. It's a very close match but it's a bit off. Cherry profiles have a bit more of a U shape to them. The Leopold keys are a bit flatter.

If you looked at them even side by side they'd basically look identical...and in some cases they are..

Agree though, maybe slightly flatter on some keys..

You definitely would not have issues putting Cherry Profile keycaps as a replacement on some/all of your 700r keys..you wouldn't end up with anything funny...The Spacebar is a different subject altogether...

Cherry and these leopold PBT caps are not the same in regards to the curvature, weight, profile, thickness, color, and even the type of PBT variant. If you don't pay attention to the little details, then I suppose this won't matter. But I'll tell you that they are indeed different, and I personally won't be mixing them with cherry ABS or imsto's PBT's.

I would love to get an extra key cap set for my FC700R; while I'd love to mod a few keys here and there - the different key cap profiles heights 'could' make it awkward to type. I quite like the dye-sub key cap sets on geek_feng's ebay store.

Gonna bookmark this thread...

If anyone finds where I can get either black or grey blank PBT keycaps for a FC700R to fit my FC660M or just keycaps for FC660m I will love them forever.
