Reddit mentions of YMDK Carbon 61 87 104 Top Print Keyset Thick PBT OEM Profile Keycaps for MX Mechanical Keyboard (Only Keycap) (104)

They're these ones here. Just bought them along with dampener rings for my Das Keyboard to switch things up a bit. Am really enjoying them, they have an interesting look and feel pretty good too. There is a bit of texture to the plastic which you may or may not like based on personal preference.

Looking for a budget TKL keyboard setup in the $45 - $90 range . Right now I was thinking a velocifire TKLO2WS and these carbon keycaps. The wireless seems like a good perk as well. Would the experience be that much different with a iKBC CD87 or other more expensive board, I'm not opposed to spending a bit more if there is a good option out there. Let me know if there is any other options I should consider, thanks.

Not sure if it's compatible, but at that price it's worth a shot

Right here!

The original carbon set is much higher quality, most notably seen in the legends (which are often different colors in the copied kits). Take a look at the images side-by-side and it's fairly easy to spot the differences.

I think this is the cap set, I have the same one on a cheapo amazon board I modded the hell out of. It's knockoff GMK Carbon, for anyone who cares about that.

I'm thinking about this. The retro lettering is worth the trade-off. I'm willing to put caps in the wrong place, just worried it'll stand out on my setup too much. I have a black white red color scheme.

Thank you for responding so quickly! Sorry I took so long to reply, I wanted to try to figure this out by myself, and as someone new to all this I'm finding it all rather opaque!

If I understand correctly, this alternate set would work, provided I get the 104 key version. Is that correct?

However, I hate the Return key in that set and the font isn't great, so I'm not sure if I want it.

Thanks again for your help!

It also depends on what keyboard you have. Not all full boards are the same. Some gaming brands have different bottom row layouts. (like razer and Logitech I think. Maybe even Corsair)

Figuring out my first setup- would these components work together?

I also want the cherry brown switches but dont know where to get them.

Amazon has a few options. As long as they are Cherry MX compatible, you're good to go.

It’s a combination of keys I had laying around from a couple different YMDK sets:
