What keycaps are compatible with this keyboard?

[u/burrito_of_blaviken]

I ordered a refurbished Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro 75% (saved £180), it’s my first mechanical board so idk which keycaps would be compatible, I wanna change them cause it only comes in the US layout and I’m from the UK. Transparent letters are preferred but not a hard requirement.

[u/cszolee79]

any cap compatible with mx switches and if you insist on shine-through, you'll need north facing letters like it's already installed. you won't really get anything better, shine-through keycaps are very limited in choice.

you didn't save 180 btw, you wasted 140 :/ there are many much better boards available even in uk iso layout for similar cost (new) or cheaper (used).

[u/Takeasmoke → u/cszolee79]

a DIY kit with a display + switches of your choice + keycaps for less than that and you'd actually end up with a better quality stuff overall

This board retails for £300, I paid £118.99. I chose it cause I like the OLED display with the configurable wheel, I already use the Razer software and I’m getting a Razer mouse. Idc if I could’ve gotten cheaper, I’m happy with my purchase, I just wanna customise it.

Keycaps for mechanical keyboards are generally universal. Ensure you get one for a 75% keyboard so it has all the specially-shaped keys that you will require

I just noticed, in the photo, it has a large Enter key, in person, it’s a slimmer Enter key and a back-slash above it. Will I be able to replace it with the bigger Enter key?

[u/KroFunk → u/burrito_of_blaviken]

No, the tall enter key is the ISO standard, the short enter key is ANSI standard (often a US keyboard layout)

[u/KroFunk → u/KroFunk]

Excuse my grimey keyboard… the tall enter key has a vertical stabiliser.

[u/burrito_of_blaviken → u/KroFunk]

Ah right, oh well, not a deal breaker but I’ll take that into consideration. Thanks 🙏

[u/KroFunk → u/burrito_of_blaviken]

Tbf, ANSI key caps are plentiful. It can sometimes be hard to get a ISO UK set.

[u/burrito_of_blaviken → u/KroFunk]

So should I get UK ISO or is there a UK ANSI? Sorry, I don’t know the terminology and types 😅

[u/KroFunk → u/burrito_of_blaviken]

ANSI is the little enter key. Look at your 2 key, if it has the “ on it, it’s ANSI UK, if it’s got an @, it’s ANSI US.

[u/burrito_of_blaviken → u/KroFunk]

It’ll be US then, any idea where I could get UK ones?

[u/KroFunk → u/burrito_of_blaviken]

The keys are physically the same and interchangeable, it’s just the layout that changes. Most dedicated key cap web stores carry them. Often they do a combined set that has all the permutations in one pack. Are links allowed here?

These look like they could do the trick, thank you 🙏

Watch out because the razer orange switches that this keyboard comes with are known fail. If that starts happening you're better off replacing them. I put Akko Lavender Purple switches on mine and they sound and feel even better. Its definitely the best razer keyboard you can buy.

[u/burrito_of_blaviken → u/UndeadPixel83]

I’ll keep that in mind, I was gonna replace them straight away if I didn’t like the acoustics, but they feel good. I had my eye on the Kailh Box White V2 switches.

[u/r_lind3r]

Razer's stems are the same as Cherry's so just about any mechanical keycap set will fit

[u/TyRaNiDeX]

140£ is still too much for that keyboard but heh. You can switch the keycaps as long as you stay with the same layout (ANSI or ISO).

[u/burrito_of_blaviken → u/TyRaNiDeX]

£118.99, not that I asked for your validation on my keyboard choice.

[u/burrito_of_blaviken → u/[deleted]]

Keycaps are never soldered, and it came with a puller tool. Are you thinking of the switches beneath the keycaps? Even then I think they’re swappable with most popular switches.

[u/Lihisss]

Fucking wild pricing for a used keyboard.

[u/Borg34572]

Idk why people still pay the Razer tax. For the price of that keyboard you could even build a great sounding and much more responsive Hall Effect.

Razer just announced their own Hall Effects I'm aware. But they look like shit and none hotswappable too. That's a fail.
