I was fortunate enough to get a Frog TKL last night at the extras sale. This will be my first custom mechanical keyboard, and I need some help verifying that I'm getting the right keycaps. It is surprisingly complicated and I need a second set of eyes to make sure I get the right keycaps.
I got the Frog F12 TKL (silver) with the
86 Hotswap (North Facing) PCB.
On the advice from some kind folks on BlackSimon's discord, I plan to purchase the
SA-P Snowcap Keyset. I'll need the Alphas and TKL Text Adder. As a newbie, getting the correct modifier kits is a bit tricky for me. I am guessing on the Units for the keys since they aren't labeled on the Frog PCB diagram. It looks like I'll need:
- 60% Modifier Text Kit, for what appears to be R1 2U Backspace, R2 1.5U Tab, R2 1.5U "\", R3 2.25U Enter, and R4 2.75 Right Shift
- Alternate Text Kit, for what appears to be R3 1.75U Stepped Caps, R4 2.25U Left Shift, R4 1.5U Ctrl and Alt, and R4 1U Winkey
- 7 Unit Spacebar
Can someone smarter than me check on my analysis? It feels "off" to have to buy 5 different kits, but I see that the Geon hotswap 87 PCB appears to have a more "standard" TKL layout but the 87 hotswap PCB isn't available yet.
