i know i screwed up when i bought a razer instead of going for something else way back when- my bad. it just sits on a shelf these days and beings that i have some extra filco sets was wanting to swap out those hideous keys. the switches are fine, so i thought maybe i could frankenstein it. meaning the keys would look better, but the case..................:(
i read on here way back before we were violated that the space bar is not compatible with filco and the macro key is a weird size? if the space bar size is different can you tell me who would have the correct size and does it come in something other than black? i still have figured out the whole space bar 7x, 6x..................thing yet.
if the macro key is a weird size is it something say that can be easily massaged like getting a key from WASD and just sanding the sides down a little or is it completely a different bear?
figured my titanium skull would look pretty good with the led, but can't remember if the led is on top/bottom of the switch.
anybody have any knowledge to these boats?
on another note anybody catch wind of when wasd is coming out with their tenkeyless and why are the new white rosewell 9000's in hard to find with the brown switches? to bad they did not leave the plate red like the black cases.

Like most iOne made board it use the 1.5,1,1.5,6,1.5,1,1,1.5 on bottom row. None of the other keys are non-standard. Easiest solution for keycaps is probably to source them from Cherry boards as those sizes are common on many models. Getting a winkeyless 1800 or similar for the 1.5 keys, and an 11900 for the 1x windows, menu and 6x space would be a way to go. Of course you are stuck with either black or white pretty much unless you get lucky and find some non standard colorway.
It's a lot of work for the BW in my opinion though. Personally I would just hock it on ebay and get rid of it and something better.
