Ordered a Keychron K2 which should be arriving next week, but I wasn’t really feeling any of the keycap selections on their website

where do y’all buy keycaps?

I’d prefer to get some with MacOS style media keys, but not a deal-breaker

    Aliexpress is good for clone caps. Clone caps are a bit of a touchy subject in the community, but if you realistically weren’t going to drop $200+ on GMK caps anyway you can probably live with yourself. Drop also has a lot of sets in their MT3 profile, KBDFans has the PBTFans brand which has some cool sets. For other retailers that sell caps you have:

    • Cannon Keys
    • Divinikey
    • Kono Store
    • KPRepublic
    • Mekibo
    • Novelkeys
    • Vala Supply

    Probably more I’m forgetting. For cheap sets that aren’t specifically clones Amazon is probably easiest, but make sure to double check the layout compatibility.

      I wouldn’t recommend kprepublic, i’ve had nothing but bad experiences with them. +1 to Divinikey and NovelKeys though.

        kprepublic sent me a shipping notification with a fake tracking number (so I couldn’t cancel my order anymore) and then waited until I emailed them to tell me the stuff I ordered was out of stock and wouldn’t ship for 2-3 months. I ended up having to file a chargeback.

        I’ve had better luck with KBDFans for cheapie keycaps.
