Anyone know if it is more viable to changing Mech keyboard's caps rather than buying a brand new keyboard instead.

I am worry about my Keys lettering/numbering wearing off.

I have a CM rapidfire blue switch mech keyboard.

Depends. In general, yes. But that's never stopped me from buying a new keyboard for different switch types...

You're probably looking for dye-sub(limation) PBT keycaps, which, unlike the ABS keycaps you have on your keyboard, are far less prone to having their legends wear off as well as get shiny. Go over to geekhack.org and browse the classifieds. They're not exactly cheap for what they are, though.

You can find some pretty neat caps, if that's your thing.
