Could you link some alternative keycaps that include everything needed besides the one Keychron sells? Ordered the board but having trouble finding "complete" sets for it under $60 or so.

Nice looking keyboard, but no keypad?  How am I going to do Key-5 to center the view (a standard in almost every MMORPG since EQ1) without it?

Sure. You will want to search Amazon for keycap sets that have a 2.75u and 2.25u spacebars. Those are typically found in sets with more than 169 keys. Here are some options (and I've had good luck with this brand in the past):

If you can't find anything you like there, you can also Shift keys of the same size instead. They're the same row, so have identical height and feel the same (but do look a little janky). It's actually pretty common. You can often find those in sets of 130ish keys, but always check to be sure it has that size. If you're willing to use shifts there, there are many more color options to choose from.

With some other keyboard that fits your needs. These kinds of special layouts are good for some people and some uses, but these are not for everyone and everything.
