Replacing keyboard switches
-
A couple keys on my keyboard have very dim or burnt out LEDs. It's not a big deal, but eventually it might happen to keys I care about, so I'd like to be able to replace them. However, it looks like the particular ones in my keyboard are hard to find and the sites I can find are all equally janky looking.
So, anyone know a good place to buy keyboard switches? Any tips or stuff to watch out for?
Bonus WTF: This store interface
Giant grid of pictures that can show a row and a half of 3 items each on a desktop display, that doesn't even show the name of the item until you mouse over it

@hungrier Is that a volume scroll wheel?

Worse, it's a slider!

@hungrier Perhaps https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/ ?
You could instead go on eBay and buy a cheap used one of the same model, whether or not it works. That'd give you plenty of replacement parts.

It sure is. If only the keyboard also had media keys that didn't use the Fn button it would be even more perfecter of a keyboard

That's a good idea, I'll see if anyone has it and hopefully wouldn't charge $508979817982 in shipping
