A list of vendors for cool keyboard accessories, keycaps, and parts!
NOTE: PAGE IS ALWAYS BEING UPDATED

The List
These are some vendors and artists I really love and have recorded to share with everyone! Think of this more of a “where to buy keyboard keycaps and parts” list more than anything else. Also, please refer to the legend below! I do try to maintain the best personal trusted list I can of vendors to help others! I do remove vendors that have terrible track records or are basically scammers. Thanks again!
Please note these are just websites I’ve come across or know of. See below the lists for more details about being added to this list. I will also not be listing major retailers.
Stars are vendors/companies and artists I’ve personally ordered from or worked with.
Blue stars are brands I am affiliated with or thoroughly support. If you all ever want to further support me and you happen to be buying things from them, please consider using my affiliate links / pages if available.
Sponsors!
personal list of where i get parts
NOTICE!
There seems to be a string of once trusted vendors in this hobby being shady. Let’s not hide behind PR statements and call it what it is, they are bailing out and not delivering products. The vendor list is still edited very often where I remove vendors who i catch wind of doing this. However, I am adding a new section, my personal selection of vendors. this is a non-paid for list and it’s just places I shop at for parts personally. Let me be clear, I shop at a lot of places and have also been ripped off, and the below isn’t a definitive list of the only trust worthy people, but it’s the people I’ve never had issues with yet. And again, this has nothing to do with sponsorships, affiliations or anything of that nature. The purpose of this is to provide a personal shopping list.
Please be safe while shopping and spend wisely. Don’t put yourself in a bad situation financially for a hobby. If you are ever curious about a vendor, just ask politely in a community server.
keycaps:
- GMK: I shop usually at NovelKeys, Omnitype, Deskhero, Space Cables or Ashkeebs for these.
- PBT: Typically Cannon Keys, KineticLabs or KBDFans
stabilizers:
- This depends on what Im looking for, but I just stick with Cherry Clip Ins. I just order mine from RNDKBD
switches:
- Obviously there are SO many places to shop here, but typically I stick to what’s in stock. Mode, RNDKBD, Ashkeebs, Mech Land, NovelKeys and Shockport have been my go to.
lubricant:
- I get these from basically any of the above listed vendors, but lately I just order tons from NovelKeys, RNDKBD or Mech Land.
springs:
As for keyboard kits, I can’t give you a good list here as it totally varies, but if you’re worried, stick to the vendors above or even people in the sponsor list. Honestly, if you want your first kit, try KBDFans, Mode or even places like ClickClack.

Thank you to coinstorm_ for all the help to the UK / EU List.
Artisans
Here is the deal with these artisan keycaps. These are typically done in group buys or in some rare cases, commission. Most of the smaller artists just use Reddit, Instagram or newsletters. Follow their accounts for when they release new caps or are having a sale.
As reference, I will add their selling methods to better organize what kind of vendor they are.
