Below is a photograph of the keyboard I use at work. It's an Ajazz AK47 with Cherry MX black switches. I am looking for key-caps with a more coarse texture so my fingers won't skate off the cap. Of course said key-caps would have to match the silver/black colours, black with white labels is probably the best. I never use the led lights. Can anyone recommend me a full set? Nothing fancy, just functional key-caps. The sub-legends of the F-keys is also unimportant.

I would go with PBT caps

Never tried them but they look ok.

If you want to be a bit more adventurous with colour

That PBT set is just what I'm looking for, anyone know a seller from Europe (preferably in Germany)?
Mean while I'm searching around on eBay and Amazon.de. Still haven't found the right set.
I have a Cherry MX Board 3.0 that has key-caps with a nice coarse texture but those key-caps are rather flat.
A good example of what I'm looking for are the key-caps Das Keyboard uses on their Professional 4 models.

Edit;
This set caught my attention, but is it double shot? And what does DSA mean?

Okay, I got the answer about DSA. DSA seems too flat for my liking.

Edit 2 - The amazing sequel;
I bought these sets;
- Akko Ducky Midnight PBT Double Shot Keycap Set 108 Keys for Cherry MX Stem.
- Black Grey mixed Dolch Keycap Thick PBT Double shot 87/106 Cherry Profile Keycap

As I'm waiting for that delivery to arrive did I replace the key-caps of the Ajazz with those of my Das Keyboard Professional 4. And the result is much better than I thought. Despite having a good quality digital camera (Canon EOS 700D), I failed in capturing the beauty of this keyboard.

It also turns out the previous owner lubed the stabilizers.
