Hello! Just ordered my first mechanical keyboard, Keychron V1. Pre shopping around for some keycaps. What are some good/reliable sites to order them from? There seems to be such a large range of websites online. I found a set that I like from flashquark. Is that a reputable site?
Never ordered from flashquark myself, but I have seen in the past that they are legit. I’ve gotten good quality PBT keycaps from Kinetic Labs with really good success. Drop have been fine for me as well.
A couple sets I have are from Drop, too. All been worthwhile. The one from Ali express, is not great. Fine, but not great
Yeah it seems like drop has a decent quality to price from what I’ve seen.
They have sales frequently too. They email me too much but I still keep them on because they’re really good deals sometimes.
Drop is pretty good, I got my first set (MiTo DCD Pegaso) and it was excellent quality. I got my recent set off of Keyspensory and the quality is alright, and have two groupbuys coming in from Vala Supply and Mintlodica respectively. I’m hoping those will be pretty good, though my Vala Supply order has been delayed several months now.
Also keebs.gg is handy since it lists some of the more popular keyboard sites. I’ve heard people have issues with Kono and occasionally kdbfans (not listed on the site) just as a note.
Divinikey is good. So is kbdfans.
I’m about to bulld my first board and would also like some info on this. Comment for visibility!
Buy dye sub caps from amazon
Cannonkeys and Novelkeys have some good in-stock sets nowadays
I’ve gotten chinese clone keycaps from Amazon, they’re fine as long as you get like doubleshot and read reviews.
If you’ve got the money to spare or find a deal (like myself and a friend split a buy 1 get 1 free deal) check out Drop.com. A decent selection of high quality keycaps and imo are such a comfortable profile (MT3) but if you prefer a more conventional cherry profile, they carry those as well.
My daily driver at home has Drop X Noctua MT3 keycaps from drop and my work keyboard currently has some XDA Botanical clones from Amazon. Both are good, the Drop keys are better though.
