− | This article is an effort to catalogue all the decent keycaps you can find on Chinese shopping sites. Whether the keycaps are Chinese in origin or not, if you can buy it from China, it belongs here. If you want to contribute, consider having a quick look at [[Template:Keycaps]] and familiarising yourself with it (not necessary though).

− | Generally, most of the keycaps you find across the different stores on AliExpress all come from the same manufacturer, so that shouldn't be anything to worry about. Most of the the 20-40 USD PBT keycaps you find from Chinese stores can be assumed to be made by NPKC, which is extremely reasonable quality for the price you're paying.

− | Stores to keep an eye on are [https://www.aliexpress.com/store/429151 Shenzhen YMD], [https://kbdfans.aliexpress.com/store/2230037 KBDFans], [https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1806079 Shenzhen E Sali] and [https://www.aliexpress.com/store/818123 EZ MANDARIN SHOPPERS]. The guy from Shenzhen YMD speaks better English than most Ali sellers and is pretty quick to respond in comparison. KBDFans is helpful in customer service too.
