Title: 60 or 75% with standard keycaps
Post by: acantha on Tue, 02 July 2013, 12:13:04

In my brief time here i've gone down the rabbit hole of custom keycaps pretty hard, and suddenly find that i will soon have far more caps than i can reasonably use, as i've only got one keyboard with cherry keycaps. The logical thing to do would be to rotate them, but the more FUN thing to do would be to buy another keyboard.

consequently i'm looking for a 60% or 75% keyboard that doesn't have custom key sizes. I've got a KBT Race, which i understand to be slightly custom but not unworkably. Any other suggestions? or do i need to go up to a standard tenkeyless to use all the keycaps?

thanks

75% will need specialty size keycaps from a Tsangan.

60% boards that will have standard sizes: Poker X, Poker 2, GH60 if you get the standard ANSI 1.25x Plate.

If you get a 60% Pure you will need special shift keys as well, but it's a nice board.
