My keycaps arrived today and I'm having trouble arranging them. Any advice?
Printing out
this check sheet but since the check sheet is only a guide for key cap sizes, refer to this image to identify profiles:
Here's a picture of all the keys you should have:
Here's how I sorted...
I find it easiest to identify Row 3 (i.e. ASDF row) by using the keys with homing bars as reference.
Then identify Row 1 (i.e. F and Number rows) as it is the tallest and most "square" in side profile.
Then grab the 2.75u Shift (it's the longest key that isn't a space bar) then use that to start matching Row 4 Keys (i.e ZXCV and bottom rows). You can also use the 1.25 mod keys as reference since they are easy to identify.
hopefully, the remaining 1u keys are Row 2.
Tips:
- the two 1.5u keys that don't match in profile with the other four 1.5u keys are the "Tab" and "| \" keys
- the vertical numpad enter has a front profile of a Row 4 key
- Row 3 has very few keys since there are no keys between the arrows and nav cluster
