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

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?

I know that MX Mechanical is not considered a good keyboard. But it’s my first mechanical keyboard, and I like it. Most because I use it with a Mac laptop and a Windows desktop. Changing between systems without having to lift the keyboard was something I was looking for. The battery life is awesome, and the overall feeling is pleasing. However, I had to lubricate the switches. They were feeling scratchy. And of course, I over-lubed (first time), but after I cleaned some of the grease, it’s all good now. 

I know that it has its flaws, and I’m good with that. But the keycaps were the only thing that was really bothering me.

After a lot of hours of research, I’ve got a set of Womier black shine-through keycaps.

I decided to get these keycaps because I don’t want to spend money on something I would not use. So I got the low-profile ones. I thought that if some keys didn’t fit because of compatibility, I could at least use some of them.

I wish I could help others like me. Who were searching for information and weren’t being very successful. 

P.S.: I still have to mod the space bar. Wish me luck. 

New combination

Hi all,

If you've used an MX Mechanical keyboard for more than a couple months you've probably noticed the ABS keycaps wear out extremely quickly. My proposal to Logitech's product team would be to sell replacement keycaps made of higher quality PBT. PBT wears less quickly, and develops less "shine" than ABS.

Please pass this feedback along to the team for consideration.

Related: has anyone found 3rd party keycaps that work with these boards? Notably, most 3rd party sets are incompatible due to Logitech's unique spacebar configuration (side note, Logitech: this was a consumer hostile move).
