Again, it's not cheap and requires some patience. This affords you the ultimate freedom in finding the right combination of switches, layouts, and materials. You can put those on most keyboards with Cherry MX-compatible switches, but you can also get an entire board that's custom built for your caps. Building a keyboardĬustom keycaps are only the first step into the world of custom boards. "I believe the manufacturing options for doubleshot keycaps are very limited right now and as a result the community has limited options when it comes to availability for popular old and new keycap sets designs," he said. I spoke to well-known keyset designer MiTo, who cited this as one of his least favorite things about the keyboard community. That's if you could find someone willing to part with it. If you wanted to buy a set of Carbon SA right now, you'd probably spend $300-400.
If that sounds crazy, get a load of this: the scarcity of popular keysets drives up the value for resellers. You're looking at between $75 and $250 for a set, depending on what's included. Sets that are in group buys now might not ship until 2018. Because custom sets are produced in small batches of a few hundred or (maybe) a few thousand, you often have to join a group buy and wait months for production to be completed ( Massdrop (opens in new tab) runs a lot of them right now). This is where a burgeoning obsession with mechs hits its first roadblock-the group buy. Very few sets can just be purchased outright. There's an incredible variety of keycaps out there, but the problem is actually buying them. The right keycaps can even improve your accuracy and comfort. With a little experimentation, you can find a keycap set that's a joy to type on.
The experience of typing on different materials and profiles can be remarkably distinct. Meanwhile, Hyperfuse is Cherry profile, which is similar to the OEM caps on mainstream boards, but lower and made with much thicker plastic. Granite is in a flat uniform profile called DSA. Carbon is SA, which mimics tall retro keycaps from decades ago.
