Hi there,

I've bee looking to chnage my current keycaps, but I am not sure what are the better places to get them (as in: send either from Europe, or send to Europe without much hassle).

As a bonus, what are some more popular keycaps for me to check?

Thanks in advance

Get yourself some custom keycaps:

List of keyboard vendors based in Europe:

Many of the vendors ship globally even if they aren't based in Europe.

    Yuzu looks interesting. Lots of options there.

    What I mean by no hassle to send is for me not have to worry about customs, because frankly, is a pain in the ass.

    Thanks for the input!

    @ZeDoTelhado
    Indeed great site, YuzuKeycaps: I did these (bought with no custom fees).

    I also checked fkcaps.com and fkcaps.com/custom and bought at ymdkey.com

    keeb.io has split traditional keyboards for ergonomics and posture, without you needing to relearn how to type. and the PCBs on boards like the SINC have multiple switch layout options due to very creative design (ANSI and ISO possible on the same board). I've been using this for a few months now, mostly because I wanted the split spacebar. The better posture it brings has been great too.

    "Delivered Duty Paid" if you have that option with the website. The times I've had to deal with import duties, DHL and Fedex baked in the customs fee, so that I just pay upfront with the shipping costs. I've done this when receiving orders to Japan and to the US.

    Otherwise I agree, its annoying. At least the times I've been hit with duties, I could still get my item from the delivery driver, and either pay on the spot, or pay online first and then schedule the delivery.
