Hello!

Today I bought a Logitech G513 mechanical keyboard with a Spanish keyboard layout. However, I need to obtain the German "Umlauts" to work better. All I need is to exchange some keys.

Using stickers is not a solution, because it uses lighting keys.

I am able to remove the keys, but I need proper replacements.

Here are the technical specs:

Where do I obtain compatible keys?

Thank you!

According to https://deskthority.net/wiki/Logitech_GX , the switches the keyboard uses are likely a Cherry MX clone. So any Cherry MX compatible key cap may work.
Thank you! Could you please give me a link to Cherry MX keys that are compatible, e.g. as in that allow the light of the keyboard to work as intended?

The keyboard changes the light dynamically and the letters of the keys need to be transparent.

I only need the keycaps.

The keyboard is black.

I'm not aware of what to look for unfortunately, except outside of seeing if the listing says it's RGB compatible.

Otherwise you could also look to see if someone on eBay is selling a set of spare keycaps for the German version of the keyboard.
