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?

  • 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.

    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

          They have sales frequently too. They email me too much but I still keep them on because they’re really good deals sometimes.
