Hi all, I have a quick and possibly very simple question. I have a keychron V6 with red switches being delivered to me tomorrow. I just want to know what switches and keycaps will fit this keyboard? This is my very first mechanical/swappable keyboard and I know nothing about it. I want to try other switches, mainly brown, blue and yellow. Also want to have a different look keycaps every now and then. I’ve searched on their site, but I had no idea which ones to choose. lol Thanks in advance.

    I’m not 100% confident around 100% keyboards, but it seems to me like a standard 100%/full-size layout. You’d want to find keycaps that say that they are for 100% or full-size layouts. It looks like their website lists those as “Full Set Keycaps”. If you have any other questions, lmk! I’d be happy to answer

      Thank you. I actually do have one more question that I forgot to include in the post. The keyboard I’m getting says it has “south facing” LEDs, which means(I think) the light doesn’t shine through the key caps as much. Is there a way to get switches that have light that actually does shine really well through the caps? Meaning other than “south facing” LEDs?

        Unfortunately i don’t think there’s really anything you can do to remedy that (that i’m aware of at least)
