I modified my keyboard with new key caps!
I am so happy with how it turned out!
My reason for using getting new key caps for my keyboard was that the original Logitech Pop Mechanical Keyboard had circular key caps and I noticed I was making a lot of mistakes with them so I figured traditional square/rectangular key caps would work better. And they did work out better!
These key caps are the Glorious GPBT Dye Sublimated Keycaps from Amazon. They are PBT Cherry Profile key caps.
He keyboard is the Logitech Pop Mechanical Keyboard.
I didn't change out most of the bottom row because I was confused on which switches should go where and the new space bar didn't fit so I kept the original one. I also didn't change out the multimedia keys at the top because there weren't any matching key caps in the new set and I needed to be able to remember what each key would do.
Overall I think it turned out quite nice and it wasn't difficult to do at all. It probably took me about 30 minutes. I'm keeping the original key caps just in case I need them in the future or if I ever want to use them again.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments and I will answer your questions to the best of my ability.

When I first started using the Logitech Pop Mechanical Keyboard, the unique circular keycaps caught my eye, but I quickly realized they weren't the most practical for my typing style. The rounded shapes felt unfamiliar and caused more typing errors than I was comfortable with. Switching to traditional square-shaped keycaps, especially high-quality ones like the Glorious GPBT Dye Sublimated Cherry Profile, made a noticeable difference in both accuracy and overall feel. PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) keycaps are known for their durability and resistance to shine, unlike cheaper ABS keycaps that wear down quickly. The dye sublimation process used on these keycaps ensures that the legends don’t fade over time, which is a great advantage if you type or game heavily. Besides functionality, the Cherry profile offers a comfortable sculpted typing surface, which aligns well with standard mechanical keyboards. It’s worth noting that customizing keyboards can sometimes get tricky, especially when it comes to identifying the right switch placement or fitting certain keys like the space bar. In my case, I opted to keep the original bottom row keys and multimedia keys to avoid compatibility issues and to maintain quick access to those functions without confusion. If you’re considering a similar modification, a few tips from my experience: first, keep your original keycaps just in case you want to revert back or if you run into fitment issues. Second, plan which parts of your keyboard you want to customize to avoid losing functionality, especially with special keys. Lastly, take your time during the swap; it’s a straightforward process but haste could lead to mistakes. This keyboard upgrade not only improved my typing accuracy but also gave my workspace a fresh look and feel, making daily use more enjoyable. If you ever feel your keyboard isn’t quite right, swapping keycaps can be a cost-effective and fun way to enhance your setup.
