    I'm after some advice/help

    I'm planning on using a usb keypad as an extra keyboard along with HIDMACROS so that i can use it as a stream deck with stream labs OBS when i'm streaming but I want to replace the letters on the keys with images a different image per key the images aren't excessive just simple vector images.

    I was wondering if any one had done this and if so how as I'd rather not have to just put a sticker on each key and then have to replace them every other week

    Are they Cherry-compatible keycaps?

    You can get re-legendable caps for something like a Goldtouch GTC-0077 keypad that will allow you to insert a small label under the lid:

    I'm pretty sure I have some knocking around

    I managed to find a picture showing the underneath of the keys if that helps for anyone to let me know if it would be cherry mx compatible

    No, it isn't cherry mx compatible.

    I don't recognize that type - if you can identify the type, maybe there are alternate caps available but it's probably easier to grab a cherry MX compatible keypad.
