Keycaps for Keyboards

One of the coolest features of mechanical keyboards is the ability to customise the appearance of your keyboard. Most boards come with a keycap puller to pull your keycaps off for cleaning purposes. However, you can use this to swap your keycaps over to modify the look of your keyboard.

A Cherry MX switch is a cross shaped stem, and the keycap pushes into place with minimal fuss. This is a great way to get a unique look and you don’t need any specialist expertise to achieve a custom look.

If you are feeling brave, you can also get blank key caps for your board for ultimate 1337 points.

Keycaps come in many shapes and sizes, some are backlighting compatible too. The main two materials used for keycaps are ABS plastic Keycaps which are generally cheaper to produce and normally come as standard on most mechanical keyboards. The other option is PBT keycaps which are made of a higher grade plastic and are much harder wearing and have a more premium feel to type on also.
