I just ordered the Feker IK75 and need some help on ordering keycaps. I just ordered a set of pudding keycaps (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084ZT45H7?ref=ppx_pt2_dt_b_prod_image) but am not sure if they'll fit. Can anyone here
For everyone wondering, something similar can be bought from Amazon.

If you have a Micro Center near you, the HyperX branded version of these ($5 more) are also carried there.
I don't know what kinda vibe you're going for, but I definitely saw some like clear on the bottom white on the tops keys like these on that. I think glorious sells some like these too but the Amazon ones are cheaper.
Thanks again for the response.
> This phenomenon significantly increased or started once using third party keycaps ?
Truth be told, I bought the keycaps while waiting for the board to ship, so I've never used the original caps with it. I plan to test them to compare though - I should be able to swap them back in the next couple days to verify though.

> Could you let me know the set you’re using.
Certainly - I used these HK Gaming Doubleshot PBT Pudding Keycaps.

Any extra noise caused by springs, lube, or resonance aren't really on my radar currently - I only referenced that as people had used a lubricant - and I was curious if a similar fix could be applied to the stems in my instance. I'm not concerned with noise currently, and if it becomes an issue in the future, there are at least a few threads existing with solutions currently that I could follow - but I do appreciate the insight there.

you can browse through and choose what colors you want, they have white as well HK Gaming
Well nowadays theres tons of options out there.
The cheapest budget without losing too much quality would be around 150 usd. At this price point, you can customize a lot of different things.
My recomendation for a 65% is right here:
Buy 7 packs of the 10 pack white switches
Quick explanation of the parts:
The keyboard has a translucent case and TONS of RGB/lights, and is gasket mounted, which means it has a different structure than a regular keyboard. This will give it more flex.
The JWICK white switches have a lighter spring than reds, are pretty cheap, and are factory lubed, meaning they are way smoother than your current cherry reds.
The keycaps I chose are really cheap considering their quality, and they are made of pbt, which means they won't collect grease over time, unlike cheap ABS keycaps. You can also get these pudding keycaps if you are really in love with rgb.
You can then buy some lube for stabalizers, and a switch puller, which will get u slightly over your 150 usd. By the way, this dosen't include shipping. Let me know if you want help making your keyboard thocky, and building your keyboard in general, I would be more than happy to help!
For those coming back to this post to find answers:
I was able to replace everything but the enter, backspace and spacebar with standard "pudding" keys.

Only 5 non-standard keys. 2 of which I found "replacements" for. Right shift (which I use less) and the slash key.
I aldo remapped the far right keys (INS, DEL, etc) to my own needs.
Here are the keys I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084ZT45H7/

You may find one but everything I have seen so far, you'll wind up buying one or more sets and have left overs and/or need additional specialty caps
These 2, for example, will get you there and have few leftovers https://www.amazon.com/HK-Gaming-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches/dp/B084ZT45H7/ref=sr_1_5?crid=20B70CM9V9P22&keywords=pudding%2Bkeycaps&qid=1638391036&sprefix=pudding%2Bk%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-5&th=1
Please note I am not 100% sure all caps will fit the keyboard properly... sometimes it's hard to match the little(er) right side alt, fn and ctrl
another question.. just read something about 1u switches.. does that mean some switches from this are not compatible?

has anyone tried these keycaps?
Glorious PC Gaming Race, HK Gaming, and many other manufacturers also make PBT pudding keycaps that allow lighting to glow through the sides as well as having the backlit lettering.
