After about two years of constant use, the prints on my Filco keys have begun to smudge off and looking at them just kind of urks me. I'm looking to replace them, but preferably not a printed key anymore, since they smudge/wear off.

The thing is, which keys are compatible with a Filco Majestitouch?

I'm looking at WASDkeyboards and it seems to have Cherry MX laser-etched keycaps, but will they match?

Does anyone have a suggestion for new keys?

Yes WASD will fit.
Other sources, ebay?
Also mods will probably get unhappy with you for making your own thread instead of posting here

Any key caps that will fit on a cherry stem will fit on your board. That being said some boards have specials pitches, angle of the keys, that might require you to search fairly hard to find them. Thankfully I don't believe Filco is one of those brands. I saw some blank double shot key caps on ebay the other day for around 40 dollars which is pretty standard for replacement key caps. If you want a bunch of info on key caps etc check out the geekhack forums. www.geekhack.org

WASD fits.

keyboardco has black ABS blanks, maybe that's even cheaper, mail to Bruce for clarification, those guys usually have a nice customer service

Qtan also has engraved PBTs in black and white, as well as black/white ABS blanks; he's a popular reliable source for unconventional stuff that's not usually available in EU/NA markets

1. Just about all of them, minus the ones from a vintage Cherry/Dolch board. They have Moogle kits for that to complete your set. The WYSE 37-key will fit, but not the modifiers.

2. They will match.

3. Seconded on the PBT keycaps from qtan. Shipping was fairly fast, even though I ordered during Chinese New Year. He also has a shipping outlet in the Continental US, which makes it even quicker for the majority of you guys. PBT keycaps feel way better than ABS caps do. I got the black engraved PBT set myself. Gives my Filco that matte look. Also goes well with the SC2 doubleshots:

EDIT: Added the Dolch/WYSE caps for partial incompatibility. Both the vintage Cherry and Dolch boards have Moogle kits available. A kit for the WYSE caps are still in the works.
