Replacement Keycaps for Eos Family Consoles
This article is a list of currently available replacement keycap sets. For a general overview of different types of keycaps that have been used on Eos Family consoles, see this article.
For Eos Ti and Gio consoles and Programming Wings, replacement kits differ depending on the style of keyboard on your console (Cherry or AIS). To check which style of keyboard you have, see this section below.

AIS Keyboard Retrofit Kits

There are two keycap mounting styles used on Eos Family console keyboards; Cherry and AIS. The AIS mounting style is used only on AIS keycaps. The Cherry mounting style is used on all other keycaps. These two mounting styles are not mutually compatible. This means AIS keycaps cannot be mounted on Cherry keyboards, and vice versa.
To determine which mounting style is used on your console, remove a keycap using a keycap puller and compare the underside of the keycap to the images above.
AIS keycaps use an additional 'plunger' component as part of the mounting mechanism, shown above. When mounting AIS keycaps on an AIS keyboard, follow the instructions in this article to properly seat the plunger and prevent the key from coming loose.
AIS keycaps are no longer available for purchase.‡ Instead, consoles with AIS keyboards can be retrofitted to use a Cherry keyboard, allowing compatibility with Cherry-style keycaps. There are several service kits available for this purpose, each of which includes a new keyboard and keycaps along with the hardware and instructions required to perform the retrofit.

Keycap Changes with Software
Keycaps have occasionally been repurposed due to changes in Eos Family software. This has required a handful of replacement keycaps to be issued to coincide with software changes.
