sane people remap capslock to some modifier, usually control, so they technically don't need two of the buttons on the bottom row. they still keep windows keys, it's just an aesthetic choice

Reposting from last thread because I got no answer. I've since also found yuzukeycaps.com, but there the minimum order amount is 10 caps, which comes out to $15 plus $15 shipping. Considering the keyboard itself cost me under 20€, that seem s abit too much.


I got a G80-1800LPCDE for a very good price recently. I like the keyfeel and the form factor, but I'd like to modify it a bit.
Before, I was using a G84-4100, from which I removed the original electronics, did some modifications to the traces and threw in a Teensy running QMK. I got really used to the short spacebar with easily reachable midifier keys for my thumbs.
I'd like to do something similar to this new keyboard. Rip out the guts, this time even use a custom PCB, add a microcontroller and run QMK on it.

Ideally I'd like to shorten the 6u spacebar to 4u, adding a 1u modifier key on either side (alternatively 3u with 2 modifiers on the left and 1 on the right). I'd also like to change the ISO enter to an ANSI one (but keep the ISO left shift).
For this I'd need some more keycaps, specifcally:
>R2 1.5u
>R3 2.25u
>R4 1u (2x or 3x)
>SPACE 4u (or 3u)

Is there a way to buy a collection of caps like this? I don't care too much about color and legends, since I touch type anyway using a modified US layout on a keyboard with German legends. Something grey/beige would be preferable though, obviously.
From what I've seen, caps are only sold in sets, and to get what I need I'd have to get
>regular set for ANSI right side
>spacebar set for 3u/4u spacebar
>modifier set for 2/3 additional modifier keys
and I'd be left with tons of caps I dont need.
The only place I've seen selling a custom set is https://diykeycap.com, but they want $50, no matter how few caps you want, which is stupid.

Am I overlooking something? Where can I get what I need for a reasonable price?

Aliexpress. 4u spacebars are rare, 3u will make things easier.
