Title: What caps would fit...?
Post by: C5Allroad on Sun, 05 October 2014, 21:32:51
This das is weird compared to what I see online.....(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/05/a3647d85da77b1bbd1f540419e6c70a7.jpg)
4 keys on either side of space bar vs what I've seen 3 on left 4 on right...

The bottom row appears to be

1.25 - 1 - 1 - 1.25 - 6 - 1.25 - 1 - 1 - 1.25

Good luck with that one.  Six unit space bars are pretty odd and tough to find especially in a group buy.  The rest of it is standard ANSI with the exception of the other mods but those would usually be covered in the group buy.

~Really? Fun?

I would think it'd be a PITA to find a set to match.. 6x spacebar will be the hardest, there are quite a few sets with extra kits that you can fill up the bottom row with as long as you can find a matching 6x spacebar.

The Razer Blackwidow uses 6x, but I doubt you'd want to use the caps from that. Also some Cherry boards have 6x spacebars (1800, 11800, etc), but the stem spacing may not match. Good luck.

The Max Universal semi-translucent black keycap sets will fit:

Speaking for myself, I'd sell the board and buy one with standard layout instead. I need good keycaps on my boards.

Eh, I don't really want the semi translucent stuff... Prefer black with white legends.

If you pull the spacebar off and show us the underside we can see if the Cherry G80-11800 style spacebar would fit. You could then mix and match some Cherry profile sets to get a full set. If not, you've got a hard search ahead of you unless you don't mind a mismatched spacebar (keep the original on and replace all the other caps only).
