Hi guys, I'm new here and just got my first mechanical keyboard from my girlfriend.
I got CM Master Keys Pro S with ISO DE layout/language and I'd like to change the german letters.
I hope I've nailed the terminology, I've attached an image of a same keyboard.
I'd like some advice on what caps to buy, I think I need double shot abs because of the RGB, but is there a specific set I can get or do I need to buy all letter, symbol and number caps?
I live in Serbia so the only way I can get some caps is from Aliexpress, but they all look a bit shady. Anyone had experience with Aliexpress? Any advice is welcome.

If you don't give any fks about the keycap quality I have the keycaps from an ISO-UK Spyder87 keyboard that should fit perfectly.
Putting the correct US keycaps on that board will be a little tricky since the Americans use differently sized keycaps in some locations ... so a standard US keycap set will leave many ugly spots.

Absolutely on Max Keyboard you can build your own ISO keycaps. The only important things you have to know is that your keyboard is ISO, has 88 keys, and 6,25 spacebar.

You can configure layout Blank (no letters and symbols), Belgian, Canadian French, Danish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss and UK.
I think you may want to set as UK.
But remember that if your language has accented vocals, you can't set an UK International Multi like on Linux operating system and have a UK keyboard to act like the ANSI US international.
On Windows only with the US International (and US ANSI keyboard) you can have accented vocals and many other symbols.
