The Pure is a great keyboard and pretty much any ANSI key cap set for Cherry MX switches will work just fine.

The one hurdle you'll have is the "~" key and the "Right Shift" key. Those two keys are different from standard ANSI. The "~" key is typically a R4 key, but on the Pure it's an R2 and the "Right Shift" is too short (1.75 instead of 2.75). Below is a picture that better illustrates.

If you purchase key caps from a Group Buy, often times they will include a "Tsangan Kit", which should give you the extra keys you need. Take a look at the RainDrop GB for example.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen any commercial key caps sets that include the Tsangan kits unless you buy a specific set from Vortex that is made for the Pure. Not sure that I've seen any either.

Hope that helps!

Thank for the answer !

One more question : Do you think I can put this set on a KBT (not everything, of course) http://www.amazon.fr/KBC-Keycaps-Rainbo ... 776&sr=1-6

Sorry for my bad English :/

Those keys will work, but you'll still have an issue with the right shift and "~" keys. You'll have to improvise.

I just got a set of non-printed white ABS keycap for my KBT Pure. Pay attention to the height of the keycap when you make your purchase. Most of the keycaps out there have cherry height, while most of the OEM keyboards use OEM height keycaps. The height of the keycaps does not matter as long as the height of all keycaps on your board is consistent.
