Title: Keycaps for Razer BW
Post by: SCR on Sat, 20 April 2013, 10:42:43

Hey guys!

I am customizing my Razer BW. I bought white keycaps in WASD and rainbow 37 keycaps set in ebay. After putting all the keys I realize that both Ctrl and Alt are 1.25x and I need 1.5x. Also my space bar needs to be a little shorter. Do you know where can I buy these keys??

Thanks in advance! I am from Argentina!!

^^

You probably need to hunt down a Tsangan kit :D

They'll look something like this (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35600.0).

Actually you probably don't want one of those tsangan kits as the profile is unlikely to match. What exact set are you trying to get something for and we can tell you better if you want uniformity.

Also the spacebar of the BW is 6x not 6,25 as the most "standart" once so finding one of those will be a pain in the ass, or it was for me until I gave up and kept using the stock one :D

I'd sell the BW and get a better board instead.  :))

Damnit.. I thought you were looking for BW keycaps... Got some off a donor board :(

I agree as well, there's no point in customizing a board that will die in half a year.

I currently have a Blackwidow and I also agree - use the board until it dies or something, because the money spent on keycaps on this board is better saved for buying another board. Not worth the time and extra money.

Yup. Just something about the way this keyboard feels when typing on it that makes it feel so much more inferior to the Ducky Blues, Filco Blues, QFR Blues, and Leopold Blues. I can't really explain it but I get the same feeling from Xarmor Blues which my friend owns (ironically I found out later that the two are made by iOne). I personally like how Blues feel on the Ducky the best.

BUT if you want to improve the BW in any way, just get a set of PBT's; it'll feel like a different keyboard.
