Title: QFR Keycaps (how are they classified)
Post by: zippox on Mon, 01 April 2013, 15:29:01

How do I find out if a set of keycaps will fit a certain keyboard.

For example, how can I determine which caps will fit a QFR? Is there a standard name?

And I would also be interested to know how to determine which caps fit the rosewill 9000 board.

I'm looking for PBT keycaps for them and need to know how to search for something like that.

Look for the ANSI layout, most of the keycaps sold by vendors are made for ANSI.

Post the link of the keycaps you like and we will let you know if it will fit on your Rosewill and CM Quickfire.

Generally most keycap are made to the same standard layout that is used on average keyboard like Filco, Ducky, Leopold*, CM Rapid/Trigger, Rosewill, etc, etc. Then there is the Cherry standard which is usually specifically stated and if not you should be able to spot the stepped caps lock to give it away. Some sets cover both.
