Custom keyboard keycaps

There’s a whole world of custom keycaps out there that I didn’t know existed!

Check out all of our Keycaps threads here:

https://forum.devtalk.com/tag/keycaps

I really like these:

Which I spotted on the BEAR 65% Ergo keyboard.

Do you have custom keycaps? Are there any you’d like or like the look of?

$210.00

That’s for the “base kit” for GMK Dots. $210!!

The $43 it says on the quote is for the “nomad” version. That’s 19 keycaps. 19 keycaps at $43 is $2.47 per keycap!

I would love to have that keycap set, but I do not want to pay $210 (or $2.47 per keycap) for it! I was thinking maybe a tenth.

I bet you can use custom keycaps - why not? The caps snap right on to the switches, so if the caps are compatible with Khail or MX switches, they should just work, right?

I think I read something about the tops being uniform/‘flat’ whereas on traditional keyboards each row has a slightly different angle - I’m not sure now but I think it was in one of these vids Brent:

I might have just dreamt it :laughing: or maybe you just need a specific type of keycap?
