Hello, with the help of some friends, we are going to build an Apple II Replica.
For the keyboard, I need the keycaps. I'm searching on Aliexpress but I can't find anything similar. Where can I buy them? I deduce that it is possible to buy them, since on eBay I have seen that they sell "Datanetics Rev B replica" keyboards. I just need the keycaps. Have any of you bought new ones?

These are thePCB that we have recently obtained.
These are the ones I find on Aliexpress...
This is an eBay ad...
( I know... it's an Apple-1 replica keyboard )
( I use a translator, that is the reason why I write strangely )
I have the correct keycaps for this keyboard. Message me. Howeve, they do cost quite a bit more than the ali-express keycaps, because they are a special order from Signature Plastics. If you want to order your own keycaps, or customize the keycaps, you can use the following spreadsheet as a starting point:

Your photo shows only the keyboard PCB, but you will also need the aligner PCB and the encoder PCB:
