Hey folks. I was wanting to get a new set of keycaps for my work computer's keyboard, but I'm having a little trouble finding a set that seems like a good fit. I'm fishing for suggestions here.

I'm looking for a set with XDA profile and a darker color scheme (the base is black). Most XDA profile caps I've seen on AliExpress seem to be on the lighter side, and most darker caps aren't XDA profile.

And ideas?

Are you in the US? I see a few XDA sets in darker schemes like this one: amazon link for dark theme set $25

Double check and make sure it has the coverage for your specific keyboard, I don't recall which brand(s) but something like Razor or the like have non-standard spacebar size 5.5u , etc.

Am with kilted_ on this one, possibly look at one of the other uniform profile like KAM as he mentioned, or DSA. XDA is not very comfortable to type on extensively, and tends to wobble on lighter switches.
