Any PBT caps you find that are for MX-style switches will work. I have the BladeMaster PRO, and have had these YMDK caps on it for over a year now. The set has all the caps you need.

I think these are closer. The alphas are a better copy of the Sig. plastics version like in the shot. But still have the odd legends on the modifiers. That board though is confusing indeed.

I think this is the cap set, I have the same one on a cheapo amazon board I modded the hell out of. It’s knockoff GMK Carbon, for anyone who cares about that.
·
What functional difference is there between inexpensive keycaps and more expensive?
​
I know there’s diminishing returns as you get up in price for small runs (e.g. unique colours, text, textures, etc…) – but, in general, what differentiates a ~$30 Amazon keycap (for illustrative purposes only: picking something random with decent reviews) vs. a $60-$100 set (which seems about the norm for the next level up)?

I’m thinking about this. The retro lettering is worth the trade-off. I’m willing to put caps in the wrong place, just worried it’ll stand out on my setup too much. I have a black white red color scheme.

Yes, you can just go into amazon and search up keycaps and they’ll pop up.
example: 3 keycap sets

Thank you for responding so quickly! Sorry I took so long to reply, I wanted to try to figure this out by myself, and as someone new to all this I’m finding it all rather opaque!
If I understand correctly, this alternate set would work, provided I get the 104 key version. Is that correct?
However, I hate the Return key in that set and the font isn’t great, so I’m not sure if I want it.
Thanks again for your help!

that’s definitely the YMDK OEM profile knockoff, you can tell by the backspace font https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CYTLXRB

If you notice in Episode 2 the libarian lady is using the beige/orange/grey YMDK Carbon keycaps that every third poster in here uses (myself included lmao)

Shorter still. All you need is the “dp” and the serial immediately following it.

I have this set too, they’re pretty solid

For anyone wondering, this is the set ,and Amazon has a bunch of knock-off PBT caps in popular color-ways here, like Godspeed, Carbon (alternate to OP’s set), the set that came with the Kira69 and a couple varieties of Dolch. These are amazing if you’re short on dollars, but want the colors of your favorite cap sets on this sub and are willing to exchange quality for it.

> the old BBC computers
You might want to check out ‘Carbon’ (1, 2) or ‘Dolch‘ (Black/grey) keycap styles in terms of colours, but IDK if DSA, XDA or SA would feel most similar, moreso than OEM/Cherry profile.
Another consideration can be that split spacebars are often 2.75 + 2.25 (+1.25) U, which matches a standard (ANSI) Shift key pair, but is on a different row than those, whice some profiles sculpt differently. So blank or side-printed DSA/XDA keysets can fit better on such boards.

Im gonna assume that its a bit of a lighter bronze/brass color.
Maybe any “coffee” or “cafe” keycaps? They could really give a cozy and simple vibe to a board.

My keyboard is Royal Kludge G87 with custom cream white, black, and orange keycaps.
I suggest going for this keycaps set instead:

Amazon has a few options. As long as they are Cherry MX compatible, you’re good to go.
here’s an example: https://www.amazon.com/YMDK-Profile-Keycaps-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B07CYTLXRB/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=keycaps&qid=1566173999&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Just curious, how is this different than this $27 version on amazon:

Here’s some similar keycaps for $25 friendo. https://www.amazon.com/YMDK-Profile-Keycaps-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B07CYTLXRB

They look like a clone/variation of ymdk carbon Link amazon

It also depends on what keyboard you have. Not all full boards are the same. Some gaming brands have different bottom row layouts. (like razer and Logitech I think. Maybe even Corsair)
