Title: fully compatible keycaps for Quickfire Rapid
Post by: x1o8x on Sat, 12 May 2012, 13:39:34
Hi,

May I know which keycaps would be fully compatible with Quickfire Rapid? I heard keycool has spacebar issues, but what about Filco, Ducky etc.?

Any aftermarket set you find that's MX will be fully compatible. Vintage keys is the only place where you might run into issue, like Cherry doubleshots, depending.

ahh i see... i guess it should be fine... though keycool itself is MX too i believe? and they are having stem issues on the spacebar, that's what I heard, as well as any leopold compatible keycaps will have issues too...

Unless you own Leopold, or Keycool, I am not sure why you are concerned with this? No aftermarket sets sold have Leopold only mounts on spacebar that I am aware of. Everything you will find from vendors here, ebay, etc are pretty much all standard ANSI unless specified otherwise.

All the aftermarket sets I know of have CMstorm-compatible spacebar mounts, but there also exists some "universal" spacebars that are also compatible with some Leopold (they are compatible with both).
