Hi guys,
wonderful forum!
I am really new to keyboard modding and I have a question.
I own a Razer Blackwidow Tournament edition keyboard. I've been browsing through wasd keyboards and I was wondering if the 87 key cap set they offer will fit my keyboard. will it ?
Thanks a lot

Other than me telling you to throw out your keyboard and get a new one, to my knowledge it will not fit.
Although the key sizes for most of the keys line up, the bottom row on the black widow is very nonstandard and only a few keys would fit there.
-
No, it wouldn't. Everything else would fit perfectly fine, except for the bottom row. Your spacebar and the 7 keys surrounding it are all of different sizes than that set.
thanks mate
What if choose to have the os keys and the menu key as R1 1x1?

Those would fit. The problems you have are these:
1. Spacebar - typically 6.25x, the one on your keyboard is 6x, so a tad smaller.
2. Ctrl and Alt - typically 1.25x, the ones on your keyboard are 1.5x, so a tad larger.
These keys are replaceable by all means, just not easy to get a complete set that fits them right out of the box.
thanks again!!

Welcome to Geekhack!
if you're keen to replace the keycaps, would you consider a new keyboard too? Getting one with a more standard layout would open up so many morepossibilities.
