Swapping Keycaps on My Freewrite Alpha from Astrohouse

As someone who obnoxiously loves personalization, I had to do it. WATCH ME STRUGGLE!!

Just did this last week with mine and I thought the shift key thing was just me finally losing my grip on reality or something, so thank you for the confirmation that it's a known issue lol. This looks great! The color scheme matches up so flawlessly, I love it.

[@momokeen]

@@rachelbells happy to provide proof you're not losing your mind haha. What keys did you go for on yours?

[@lilyx77]

I like the symetry of the look! And I had a good laugh imagining you with a ruler trying to see the difference between the Shifts

[@momokeen]

I only wish I had thought to measure it on camera and spare myself the agony!

[@PianoMan-hx3ev]

I wasn’t aware you could change the keys on the Alpha. You might’ve just convinced me to buy one!

[@momokeen]

@@PianoMan-hx3ev Don't get me wrong, the keys it comes with are great too, but I can't resist a little flair. Good luck!

Did you end up getting the shift and spacebar to fit? I replaced just my alphanumeric because of this (and wanting the symmetry)

[@momokeen]

Nope. The pegs on the bottom of the shift keys are off by about 2mm, and the space bar was never going to fit. It does make a weird smiley face though so I can't complain. 🥲

[@dannie33ff38]

Is it still as thocky?

[@momokeen]

It absolutely is. Though I suppose thockiness is in the ears of the beholder. I like how it sounds in any case.

[@dannie33ff38]

@@momokeen I also have misophonia and a deep love for all things “accidental asmr” (I think the two go hand in hand) so I trust that you know a good brain buzz thock when you hear it 😆☺️ thanks!
