Where can I buy individual keyboard keys?

[bobross419]

I'm trying to get a handful of lower case keyboard keys, but I can't find any place that sells them individually. I found one site that sells individual keys, but you have to know the make/model. I don't care what they keys go to and I don't know what make/model might have lower case by default.

Anyone know of a place where I can order like 4 or 5 keys that have lower case letters on them?

Never seen lower case keys. Do you have an example? Have you considered key caps? What is the end game here?

I tried using stickers but they end up looking shitty. I need them for a project I'm working on that isn't computer related. They're just gonna end up used as buttons, but I'd like to use keyboard keys for this.

Check the geekhack.org fs/ft forums as well as their sponsor sites (i think techkeys.us is one of them). I haven't seen many lower case keycaps though.

You might also buy some blank keycaps, etch your letters in, and fill them with some dye or ink or something. Probably your cheapest option if you don't need many.

also your could get blank key caps and get some letraset rub on letters, then seal with satin urethane spray enamel.
