    Question Where do you buy your keycaps from?

    Just wondering where UK typists/gamers buy their keycaps from.

    I never even considered using keycaps from a different manufacturer. I have a Razer Blackwidow Elite and I'm on my second set of keycaps, they're actually nicely weighted, but the build quality leaves something to be desired.

    There is little availability in the UK - compared to stateside, and that availability is extra scarce if you have a topre board (my preference)

    I have bought a handful of sets from mass drop in the past as well as originativeco - but both are a number of years ago now. Sometimes you will get a signature plastics set pop up on the bay for a ‘reasonable’ price - but often the figures being asked for are pretty crazy. Also depends on profile and style you are looking for. SA were what pushed me stateside, as the sig plastics sets are really the king of the hill where SA is concerned, and their designs can be very nice - but just too costly for me these days. My last set was a R1 T0mb3ry SA Carbon and R1 Pulse before that. Use the Pulse daily on a Novatouch TKL - as that allows cherry fit caps on a topre switch.

    Also the keyboard company and UK Keycaps are both with checking out as they both offer UK based supply - so no import tax/shipping etc.

    If you let me know what sort of thing you are after (profile/budget/use) I may be able to offer slightly more focused guidance - but I can’t promise!!

    Hope that helps
