Do it! These are keychron keycaps. I would have loved to get the developer keycaps but they are always sold out.
I’d be curious to try some Etsy low profile keycaps at some point.
I just built a travel keyboard and actually, I am just posting this to have something sensible to type to figure out how I get on with it. It definitely feels different to my regular one but I couldn't stand a shitty laptop keyboard anymore when on the go.
The aim was low(er) budget, low profile and less weight over my hefty Tofu65. In short portable.
I like the 65% form factor so I was looking for a Nuphy Air or a Keychron K7 to pop up for sale. I got lucky and found a cheap K7 with little use and a set of nicer keycaps. During black friday I bought some banana low-profile switches (early bump tactile) from Keychron to replace the blue ones on the board and a little leather travelling pouch. Keyboard and Keycaps ended up at my parent's because shipping there was cheaper. When I arrived this morning for Christmas I quickly put everything together. So far I'd say it's decent. The slightly wider keycaps improve the look of the keyboard a lot in my opinion.
Bottom line I paid what a new K7 would've cost me but I already got nicer keycaps, switches and a travel pouch.
