I have a keycap set from an old Cherry keyboard with MY switches I robbed. I want to use these on my Ducky Mini but there are a few issues. It lacks a few modifiers (win, r-win, menu) and the ones that are a part of the set (ctrl, r-ctrl, alt gr) are too wide. The spacebar is also too wide. The caps lock has an off-centre stem so I can't use it either.

The original keyboard only have ctrl, alt, alt gr and r-ctrl. Thus the modifiers are too wide. Shift, l-shift, tab, backspace, enter, caps are all is proper size, so these are usable.

Doubleshot goodness.

The spacebar is too wide as well

The original keyboard, MY switches, horrible to type on.
Any idea where one can find something like these? Preferably in the same style as the original keyboard. This is a ISO board so the right-shift is 1.25x.

Different colors but same keycaps (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48798.0). I also have some left overs of the keys you need in white/purple from the last buy if it's suitable for you.
Nice find, Norwegian layout is not so common. Another good choice would be to get an older winkeyless ISO MX pcb out of a G80-3000. It's easy and cheap to get a hold of and you can use 100% keycap set you have already.

Essentially, it sounds like you're looking for a black on beige moogle.
