Replacement key pads?

[MikeD]

I am looking to find a supplier of replacement key pads for some worn keys on my Ducky mechanical keyboard, so far enquiries with local dealers seem very vague regarding this subject. Ideally I would prefer them to be PBT and black, but beggars can't be choosers as they say. I am reluctant to part with my Ducky keyboard as it has served me well for many years and works perfectly, but the lettering on some of the most used keys are now almost worn out.
I look forward with interest to any replies.

I am afraid that they confirmed in a telephone call today that they do not stock key pads, the quest goes on!

What do you mean by keypads?

if you look at the link I posted it has loads of different style key caps

Thats assuming the model you have has removable caps?

 

[TonyCarter]

There's only 2 parts other than the base/frame - the switch (Cherry MX or the like) and the keycap (Ducky dye-sub, single/double/triple shot, side-print).

The only 'keypad' I know of is where you get a TKL keyboard and have a separate number keypad to sit at the side.

That sounds like he just needs key caps

My thoughts exactly.

Apologies for any confusion, what I want are the key caps to replace the ones where the letters are almost invisible, I have a Ducky keyboard with MX blue switches, I have a cap puller that was supplied with the keyboard when new, however no one seems to stock replacement key caps, it is a shame as the keyboard is still in great condition, works perfectly, and all it needs are 7 replacement key caps, how odd that you can buy the switches, but not the key caps.

So again, have you just completely ignored the link that was posted? What is it that isn’t suitable?

 

[TonyCarter]

It does look like you‘d have to order a complete keycap set, as I don’t see individual caps available.

But if you wan5 to stop the printed letters from disappearing you’d need to buy the double/triple shot plastic injected ones, rather than the printed dye-sub ones. But Overclockers doesn’t seem to offer a lot of choice there.

Apologies, the link you gave was overprinted by some obscure text, I have now followed the link and ordered a full set of key caps to replace the whole keyboard, hopefully next week I should be back in business, many thanks and also my thanks to all the other helpful responders.
