Hello Everyone.
I am looking for relegendable (windowed) keycaps (for maximum customizability!! )
Currently I use some flat top Tipro keys but the lack of profile is really anticlimatic.

I remember the retro DSA kit from 2013 offered profiled windowed caps, but nowadays it seems very complicated to find

Any clue or offer would be appreciated

Edit: changed "windowed" to relegendable

How many? I’ve a handful of DSA (or similar?) profile blank caps with LED windows. They’re vintage, of unknown origin. Could well be ancient Cherry sphericals.

I take it that by windowed keycaps, you rather mean relegendable keycaps.


In that case, you can have a look there:

although most colours are out of stock

Oh, thanks to your answer i see my request is ambiguous, I meant a label window (to insert a paper label in the switch), not an LED window. Like so:



If this has a different name, please tell me, i might help me find some on the interwebs

Haha, i was too slow. Tiproman saves the day once again!!
you truly are my hero

PS: now to make things a bit more complicated: same request but with alps stem

So, is there such a thing as (MX mount) relegendable caps which aren’t flat? Those Tipro ones are too…

There are other Tipro relegendables with a (hardly perceptible) cylindrical profile, see the left one: I also have a few caps of unknown origin which are quite identical to (third from left) )Tipro MID relegendables (except that they have a slightly rounded bottom edge instead of being square in shape) but where the transparent tops are definitely cylindrical.

And I know of ESC row keycaps with a cylindrical top instead of the flat one in the pic above (second from left).
Unfortunately, I have no clue where they come from or where to get some (thanks for any tips!)

I like my keycaps kike i like my women: curvy and willing to open up to me

A fine recipe!

Quite what my thing for ruthlessly sharp Helvetica dyesubs says about my other choices, I have no idea…
