Title: Pok3r 3 Vortex Replacement Keycaps, noob here!
Post by: samsamm777 on Sat, 28 November 2020, 05:34:04

Hey! I've had a KBC Poker 3 for many years, and its been enjoyable to use. The keycaps are getting pretty mucky, and i thought id change them for something new, and maybe start myself off into this whole custom keyboard world. So i bought a set of cheapo keycaps off amazon without much thought, thinking all would be fine. However the keyboard has a very small left shift key, and there isnt one that fits in the set. And likewise for the # key to the left of the enter key. Theres no key for that position. Curious if anyone has any advice on what I could do? I dont even know what the name of my layout would be, given it must be different to normal layouts?

Your keyboard is UK ISO, looks like the /| cap is too tall where it is which means it should go next to enter making the set you bought ISO USA which is a very rarely used layout!

Send it back and find a UK ISO set :)
