r/MechanicalKeyboards on Reddit: Where to buy custom keycaps for Logitech MX Mechanical keyboards?
May 24, 2022 -

I saw there's a new Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard - which is wireless:

https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products/keyboards/mx-mechanical.html

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/05/logitechs-mx-keys-mechanical-is-a-satisfying-wireless-introduction-to-mech-keebs/

My current daily driver is a Keychron K6 with Granite keycaps (blank).

I'm sorely tempted by the Logitech though

  • Battery life on the Keychron K6 isn't great - maybe 1-2 weeks (without backlight). The Logitech apparently promises 10 months battery life (no backlight).

  • The Keychron K6 can't report battery percentage via BT - not sure why.

  • The Keychron K6 takes 3-4 seconds to wake from sleep each time I go back to my laptop.

I'm hoping/assuming that Logitech's long experience, and larger R&D budgets will mean they've sorted out these niggles with things like BT stack, battery life etc.

However, I really want my custom keycaps. From what I can tell, the Logitech uses "Kailh low-profile switches" (I'll be going with Clicky in Mini layout..what else, haha. I use MX Greens right now).

Does anybody know where to get decent keycaps for this please?

Swapping a keychron for a Logitech will be a downgrade. And yes, you'll be stuck with Logitech keycap sets

Mx mechanical keycaps
Same here. I told their support staff and wrote on Reddit too. It's so disappointing that they went for such cheap keycaps and also using a non-standard layout with special stabilizers. Give me quality PBT keycaps and this is the best keyboard one can own. I'm almost getting to the point that I'll make my own PDT keycaps especially for this keyboard and I'll sell them on Amazon as a sideline. More on reddit.com

Logitech MX Mechanical with Nuphy keycaps
I swapped out my Nuphy Air75 keycaps with purple ones and then figured out that they are compatible with the Logitech MX Mechanical! Since I had that keyboard laying around, I decided to change out as many of the keys I could with my original Air75 keys and give it to my Dad. I couldn’t change the longer keys since Logitech uses a metal stabilizer. I left the Logitech function keys since the multifunction option isn’t the same as on the Nuphy. More on reddit.com

July 21, 2022 - And someone will surely want to, since the ABS plastic in the keycaps is a bit on the flimsy side, though they are double-shot to be compatible with backlighting. ... Using the MX Mechanical Mini feels extremely similar to the MX Keys Mini, albeit with the very welcome addition of full-sized arrow keys (since you can’t do half-sized mechanical switches).
