I have a 60 pound keyboard from Amazon. It makes lovely clicky-clacky noises and types smooth. Only reason I haven't showed it off is because some of the keys are showing wear... getting shiney from use. 3 years of typing do wear...

*off to clicky clacky more...*

Have you considered switching out the keycaps? There are tons of really affordable and beautiful designs nowadays and it could add another layer of personalization to an already loved keyboard!

I have. I've had mechanical keyboards for a long time but I didn't realize there was a following like there is nor did I realize all of the options - I just sought out the look, feel, and sound!

Still learning. Like I have this great keyboard - are all keycaps interchangable or would I need to worry about things fitting? It's a full size board - with all of the keys a lot of people don't use (I still use the ins, del, etc so I'm in the minority!).

If it’s a full keyboard you can search for 100% or full size keyboard keycaps, they should include all the keys you mentioned plus numpad (but even if you don’t have a numpad any tenkeyless set should do!)

Most keycaps are interchangeable but I would check to see if a specific set of keycaps is compatible with the switches your keyboard uses, just to be sure! Keycaps come in a ton of different profiles/shapes nowadays (cherry and OEM profiles being the most common) so just make sure whatever keycaps you end up choosing will fit.

Thanks! And yes, I have the number pad as well. I'm old school and it's how I learned so anything smaller feels weird.
