Title: Xarmor and keycaps
Post by: Zamorph on Mon, 25 April 2011, 14:29:41
Does Xarmor use special sized keycaps? Their spacebar looks a little bigger.  Jw, cuz I may replace the keycaps on a U9 plus

Spacebar on original U9BL is actually not as wide as a spacebar from common Cherry boards such as the 11900 (see pic).

PS
Picture attachments appear to defaul to viewable inline since the forum upgrade. Is this a preference setting? Older posts thus end up displaying the same pic twice.

Them some big sprues.  Weird spacebar.

That spacebar with sprues is from a MY keyboard; lots of MY boards have sprues on keys wider than 1x1.

However, it's the same width as the MX spacebar on my G80-11900 series.
