Looking for cherry MX caps black with reversed writings on numbers row (self.mechanicalkeyboards)

Hi there,

I'm a dev and use basic mechanical keyboards (tkl corsair quick fire). For a while now I'm operating in qwerty us layout but I reversed the numbers with the special characters because I use them more often than numbers. Any of you know where I could find this? CherryMX keycaps.

I don't want to go on the more dvoraky dev layouts because I think more than I type during my day.

Thanks a lot ❤️

You can have WASD print whatever you want on a key cap and they have lots of colors to pick from.

Thanks a lot, at 9$ a key it's expensive but it may satisfy my OCD 👍

is the Corsair QMK/VIA compatible? If it is you can even change your key map to reverse the effect of holding down shift so when you hit the number it does the symbol first, and then when you shift+number it does the number.

I've created a new layout for windows and fedora directly. I don't know if it's qmk/via compatible

There's also Yuzu (nice looking and durable dye sub cherry profile) and their sister site FKcaps (laser-marked in white or shinethrough, but more profile and layout options).

Yuzu looks awesome. Thanks a lot <3
