Does anyone know where i could get custom keycaps for my blackwidow chroma? Really want some different keycaps but dont know what keycaps are compatible with it, i read that standard cherry mx keycaps are compatible with the blackwidow chroma.

I don't know what layout your keyboard is in, ANSI or ISO for your Razer, so I'll link both.

There are other places to get custom keycaps, but I am personally a fan of the black translucent keycaps since your keyboard has LEDs. If you don't really like what they have, just Google "ANSI custom keycaps" or "ISO custom keycaps" depending on what your layout is on your keyboard.

For reference of your layout; Top keyboard is ANSI, bottom is ISO. Enter key isn't highlighted, but it's also something to look out for.

The first link I posted was all ISO keycaps they have on their site. Here are a few examples.




Translucent black with printing on the front of the key (front, not top like your keys are now.) These are universal, so it comes with a full set for ISO and ANSI.

Translucent black with no printing at all, pure blank keys. These too are universal.

This one is a little different. Here you customise your keycaps. Your first option is choosing how many keys you have on your keyboard. You can find that on the site you got it, a quick Google search or if you're up to it, counting them all yourself. Next part is very important, you have to know the size of your spacebar. I did a Google search and it looks like Razer Blackwidow, uses the 6.0 option; however you can search it up just to be safe. The special combo they have, I have no clue what that is for, never used that before. If you have any type of design in mind, you can upload your artwork for the keys. I would suggest getting an ISO layout that looks very similar to yours and then doing what you want with it. If you scroll further to the bottom you can change the language you want on your keycaps, the text for modifier caps (F commands, tab, enter, shift, ect.) And then you can change your OS symbol if you want. I don't know how this will fare if you upload artwork for your keycaps; so be mindful of that.

Finally, if you just want coloured key caps, these two offer coloured, only one is for top/blank print while the other is for front/blank print. Same stuff as before, choose how many keys you have on your keyboard, the size of your spacebar. This time choose where you want your text on your keycaps, so top/blank or front/blank depending on which one you buy. When you go to the bottom, you'll notice a tab called "keycap" click that and you are free to add whatever colour you want to your keys. The only problem with this, is they're not translucent like the rest. So your LED won't show too much through the keys and only the backlight on your keyboard will really show the LED.

They ship internationally; as for the price, I'm not too sure as that will vary based off your address near at the end.
