Morning blokes,
I have a Redragon Aryaman RGB mechanical keyboard. It's the big boii, but the keys are hot swappable. I'm not sure if they're all like that, but it's pretty cool.
Now, I've been using it for a bit more than two years, and from time to time I have to clean the keyboard out from dust and all kinds of stuff that gets in there, because if it gets dirty, it starts to miss keys and so on. Now, two years have gone by and the most used keys are getting "tired". I've swapped them out with some of the less used keys and it feels like a new board now, but it's not going to last forever. I want to eventually see if I can't replace the keys with some decent ones.
I've Googled around though, and keys seem damn expensive. Mine seem to be some kind of Cherry Blue copy switches, Redragon branded, but I know very little about these things. Can I just buy a set of Cherry MX switches to replace them with? Also, are keys really that damn expensive (like R1.3k for a set of 110)? Because if so, then I can just as well buy a new keyboard for R1,400. I'm hoping for a cheaper solution, are there any?
