What kind of keycaps fit the blackwidow?
« on: Sun, 08 January 2012, 14:53:19 »
I'm interested in buying keycaps from someone from Geekhack, but I don't know which ones fit with the Blackwidow.

PM me if you're interested in selling me some keycaps that's compatible with the BW.


thanks! :frog:

Not really, just found out that their Ctrl, Alt are also nonstandard size(following the size of "Tab" and "|\"). Those few keycaps which following Cherry Profile(like noppoo choc mini, KBC POM and of course Cherry themself) are slightly "shorter"(in height) than Razer's original keycaps too. Though if you using the keycaps for the whole boards, it will be just fine.
KBC POM


BTW, how do you modifier a normal spacebar to fit Razer BWU? AFAIK, the one on Razer is shorter in length?

thanks for the replies.

I actually did try and search but the posts in the other threads we're kind of confusing so I didn't know what to get so I made my own thread
