Spiderisland Split 78

I got myself this keyboard but the keys for space and right shift are just some random buttons. I would love to buy myself a new keyset but I am having issues figuring out which will fit. It has box khaleh switches so probably any cherry will fit but the sizing of two space buttons and right shift is a complete mistery to me and I will probably have to take some 104 keycaps where I have no guarantee they will fit.



How do you handle those keysize issues, I am a bit new to the whole thing.

Not 100% sure but looks like shift is 1.75u (same width as caps lock)?  If so that cap is common, usually shown next to an FN key intented for use on a 60% board.  2u caps for the spacebars are less common, one option would be getting an SA set as the numberpad + and Enter caps will be row 3 which is also commonly used for the bottom row.

Basically when you get a non standard board you have to look really carefully before pressing the buy button.  Feel free to post any set you're interested in and I'll check it

Edit:  Looking again at home are the 'spacebars' 2.25u (same width as enter)?

You also don't need to match ALL the caps. I don't know why there's such a fascination of having a SET, nothing is really part of a set. It's arbitrary.
