Ideas for compatible keycaps for a QUMAX Xarmor U9W

[TheProfosist]

As the title says I am looking for some compatible keycaps for a QUMAX Xarmor U9W I got it for my HTPC for when i need a full keyboard even though I havnt heard anything good. I thought i would give it a try as its the only wireless mechanical keyboard I can seem to get my hands on. I believe that they have to be cherry keys to fit the sizing/spacing of the spacebar row. If that is the case id like to get my hands on my first set of doubleshots.

6x modifier spacebar, can be found from Cherry G80-11900 or easierly Razer BW.

Any board that I can get a whole set from? preferably in something better than lasered.

Whole set from one board is probably not going to happen. Even if solved the spacebar problem, the problem to find 1.5z modifiers Ctrl and Alt is still exist.

You probably need quite few boards to achieve a fullset compatible keycaps(again Cherry's Caps Lock probably not compatible on normal boards). You need at least a G80-1800(for Ctrl and Alt), G80-1865/G80-11900(for spacebar) and normal Cherry G80-3xxx series for remainings, especially the right shift.

Dig around to see if anyone selling Doubleshots(model with "H") variant of those board if you are really desperate for a fullset.

First, will you be looking for white or black set? That will be a HUGE factor on which boards are easiest and cheapest to get to accomplish a set for that board...
White: G80-1000 or 3000H**US winkeyless for 98% of it, newer version G80-1800 for the 1x Windows, menu and 6unit spacebar
Black: G80-11900H**US for majority, Desko RGB set since black 1.5 doulbeshots are a serious pita and you will need a 2.75 right shift anyway.

That's assuming you can't piece together a set through the classifieds...
Theres my 2 cents.

Edit: Just found out from here that Cherry G80-8113 is having normal position stems for their Caps Lock.

So now you need to source 4 donor boards for to complete your Xarmor.

You loss out the CapsLock?

Stem mod the stepped, unless you must have a fulltouch. Then yes, if you want a fulltouch. For someone with a Filco, etc with 1.25 mods it makes even more sense to get 8113. Since 8113 is one of the easiest and cheapest boards to find with 1.25 while you can get them used for $35 and a used g81-8000 for another $20-30 for the whole ANSI set.

But OP has some slightly different needs, and unless I am mistaken would probably not have any issue doing the stem mod and saving $35.

I can do any mods necessary i just need the keycaps to be the right width for the board. I did put something in the classified but it has been unsuccessful so far because its not very specific. what specifically should i be asking for?
