Razer's keyboards have a lot of "gimmicks" that seem to turn a lot of people off from them. Take a look at some other brands that other people have mentioned in this thread before immediately buying a razer.

I just found an old HP mechanical keyboard in my office storage room, and it feels amazing. I did a check on the serial number and originally it was manufactured in 91, which is real cool to have something from that era that still works.

Is there anywhere you can get completely custom keycaps? Like, choose your inking method, and upload a bunch of vectors for the graphics, then pay out the ass, and have a boss mode custom keyboard 2 weeks later?



Not sure if wasd fully suits your needs but it's the closest thing I can think of:

No, that's actually pretty limited. I was kinda hoping for something I could completely personalise, with that dual plastic inking method, (which appears ballin'), EVE-style fonts, and occasionally outlines of ships 'n' things.

If you're referring to the double-shot injection method, where they use two different plastic shapes joined together - that's not going to happen.

Injection moulding is the only way to make a custom keyset like that, and a custom mould runs in the thousands of dollars, if not more - And that's just one of the two parts of one key. Now add constant re-tooling because you only shoot one of each part, and you've got a monstrously expensive keyset.
The only way people are able to use this technique in regular production is by producing very large quantities of products and splitting the cost of the mouldmaking over all these sales. For a one-off batch, it's simply not feasible.

If you want fully customized keys (and it's still going to cost you...), pad printing or perhaps dye sublimation are your options. Neither are exactly shabby, to be honest. I feel like a lot of keyboard afficionados make a bigger deal out of "bad keycaps" than there really should be.
A set of Filco keys is still going to last years before the letters wear down.

filco are notorious for wearing out quickly and you can get doubleshots off of tons of group orders off of geekhack. Not costing that much either for something that will last you a lifetime. Filco/Das abs keycaps are flimsy as crap and as most people say, a new born can chew through them faster than a cherrio

they also have a group order for custom Starcraft double shots,,, including all the Race logos etc.. for the windows keys, esc and i forget what other options, but im getting these double shots in allw hite for my black leopold. And not sure if I want orange or blue just for my macro keys... like attack, move, stop, casting buttons etc.. just to make it feel more like a Sc2 board. haha I dont need them just think it would look sweet.

Anyone on here had experience with "Alp" switches, I believe the most common are white and black, I've found a keyboard with blue alps on at around £40 on Ebay, but before I go into buying one wanna see what people say, the research I've done so far say they are a very good switch type and the videos I've seen they have a nice sound to them with the tactile feedback
