I know with a lot of these specialized keyboards it can be difficult to find replacement keys at a decent price. I'm new to keyboards like this, so how hard would it be to find replacement keys for this?

The_EnquirerI'd assume it will be hard because this keyboard utilities a switch that is not the common Cherry MX or MX clone.
Kailh Choc switches (another low profile switch). I see caps for them on Novelkeys, a well known mech keyboard site.
No one makes caps for the Logitech romer-g switch because it's logitech's proprietary switch and no one wants to develop molds for such a niche keyboard.
Even the abundance of Alps switches and keycaps is pretty low.

erickongAlright, thanks! As much as I like the design and idea of this, I can't justify spending this much money on a product that I may have difficulty repairing down the line.

The_EnquirerIf you want to get into mechanical keyboards, Cherry MX and MX clone switches are a good starting point because so many PCB's and keycaps are made for them.
A hotswap board is nice because you don't have to solder and you can replace switches anytime if you want to try new ones.
