Ordered a Keychron K2 which should be arriving next week, but I wasn’t really feeling any of the keycap selections on their website

where do y’all buy keycaps?

I’d prefer to get some with MacOS style media keys, but not a deal-breaker

    As a fellow Mac user, I think you’re in for a challenge finding Mac media keys from anyone but Keychron, at least from my observations. Unfortunately most keycap sets don’t even include Command or Option keys. I own one Akko ASA profile set which does include those. I’ve also seen that PBTFans sets generally include Cmd/Opt, but I don’t personally own one. Best of luck!

      yeah that’s what I’m noticing, pretty much everything is just the standard F1-F12

      I did stumble upon a few sellers on Etsy who appear to sell Mac keycaps though so I may just have to dig around for some of the more obscure keys

        Sorry I didn’t see this sooner. I just did the same hunt, and came to the same conclusion.

        I ended up getting the PBTfans Dolch set from Divinikey which comes with a decent number of relegendable caps: I figured that way if I missed them I could make my own media keys. But I’m getting along fine without them – I’ve been on the Mac long enough that I’m pretty well drilled on the ones I use.

        Very happy both with the caps and with Divinikeys’ service. I ordered a couple of other things from them – some new switches and a better switch puller – and both orders went smoothly.

        The other solution I looked at for a while was WASD Keyboards printed custom keycaps. Someone uploaded their layout for Mac keyboards to GitHub and WASD also has a comprehensive layout guide if you want to make your own. I decided against it because I wanted Cherry profile caps, ideally doubleshot rather than printed, to last longer.
