Today is a new day for PC gamers!
New Key Caps and Cherry Switches are available to all people for ultra low prices! Not that they're expensive at all, but you get a better quality product for a better price!Keycaps are can be bought in replacement sets for a keyboard. Notably,
replacement sets are frequently sold for keyboards that use the Cherry MX-style stems. Custom sets are bought and sold within the enthusiast communities, and artisan keycaps[3] can be purchased individually.
Keycaps are sold in printed and unprinted varieties. The unprinted variety, known as "Blank Keycaps," are said to promote touch typing and help build muscle memory because the user is forced to rely on motion rather than visuals. However, within the modern mechanical keyboard community, unprinted caps are typically chosen for their visual appeal.
The most common plastics used are ABS and PBT. ABS is cheap but is more prone to damage and deformation by chemicals and cleaning agents. PBT lasts longer and is more tolerant to chemicals and cleaning agents, but it costs more.
The top of most keycaps may be described as cylinder-shaped (curving to the sides as if a fat cylinder was resting on it), flat or spherical (curving to the top, bottom and sides as if a large sphere was resting on it). The modern preference is for cylinder-shaped keycaps rather than spherical ones, but laptop keys are often flat.
Printing of numbers, letters, and symbols on the keycaps are done using pad printing, laser etching, or dye sublimation. Pad printing is the cheapest and most common. Dye sublimination is more expensive and only done by a few companies such as Topre, ZF Electronics (Cherry), and Unicomp.
