I'm looking for a set of low-profile mechanical keyboard key caps similar to those found on the Tesoro gram spectrum. My searches so far have yield that the only way to get such keys are to order that said keyboard pluck the keycaps off of them myself. Anyone if and where such a set are sold? I want them for a KB mod.
 
Usually you can find broken stuff on E bay, look see if there is 1 there. I'm sure the price would be right, only issue is if they strip the keys or not.
 
That was one of the many places I've checked. I keep an eye out there regularly in case a Silver k70 turns up for parts since I'd like to swap the top plate off the black one I have.

Are you assuming keycaps conform to some industry standard? They don't. I would not assume any after-market keycaps will work on any keyboard unless the maker states and guarantees they will physically fit and work with your specific brand and model number keyboard. And frankly I would not trust anyone but the original keyboard maker for that. So your best bet may just be to buy a new keyboard, or elevate your wrists!

Anyways I found them and was asked $100 for them. They come on a kb that cost $110, so I'll be buying and picking them off the keyboard and reselling it w/o the keys on ebay.

Not sure there are many out there, even on ebay, willing to spend any money on a keyboard with no keycaps. Maybe if you just swap keycaps with your current keyboard and sell that.

Gives "touch typing" a whole new meaning, doesn't it Bill?
