Hi everyone
« on: Mon, 28 September 2015, 03:33:39 »
Hello there I'm new here, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I currently only own a CM Quickfire Stealth with Cherry MX Browns, but I used to have a standard Quickfire with Greens. I am looking to get a Vortex Pok3r in the near future with clears though ;D. And I hope to get along with everyone here :)

It's always a good idea to keep an eye out on the Interest Checks and Group Buys subforums here on GH. As well as on massdrop's website. Not an exhaustive list, but those are a few good places too look for upcoming and current keysets.

If you are looking for keycaps, the group buy subforum usually has quite a few options at any given time. Find some you like :)

Welcome to Geekhack!

The QFS and Pok3r both have standard layouts but I think the Quickfire does not.  A standard layout, especially ANSI, makes it so much easier to find replacement keycap sets.

First thing is to decide a budget.  Cheap sets come in at around $25 (for a full set that will suit a standard layout ANSI keyboard).  The most expensive sets cost $300 and up, usually for rare or unusual colours in limited runs.

Most sets from GMK will be around $100 to $150, and from JTKeycaps will be about half that price.

Tai Hao is a good low end keycap maker, and their keycaps are really quite reasonable for what you pay.  They have some half decent PBT sets too.

Or perhaps the colour is more important to you than price - many people are looking for a specific colour set to match their other hardware or decor.

In either case looking through interest checks and group buys is a good place to start.

If you don't mind a wait, Massdrop (massdrop.com) has some good deals on keycap sets.

And then there are a bunch of online stores that stock all sorts of keycap sets, although depending on popularity you might find it difficult to locate the set you want in stock.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
