Title: logitech g610 layout
Post by: espgodson on Tue, 11 October 2016, 08:27:37
alright so i've been using a ducky but i want some multimedia controls while i stream/play game well i used AHK for the top right calc/mail etc buttons but in certain games if i go to pause or change track it tabs me out of game. so i bought a g610 which i later found out doesnt have a standard layout.

i use these keycaps theyre green pbt ducky soo i can use all the keys on the 610 except for caps lock, space bar & alt keys.

i'm fairly certain you can't buy the correct size space bar anywhere so are there any companies out there that do complete custom layouts? i have no idea how this kind of thing works..

if it would be cheaper to buy a new keyboard with a standard layout & dedicated media controls i would love some recommendations. i just dont want any fn+ controls...

apologies for the ramble passing 2 kidney stones and its hellll and i havent slept D;

I hope you feelin better.



I would buy a new k-board with a standard bottom row and you find lots of keycaps sets that will fit, stay away from corsairs k-boards + some k-boards in the link as they don't have a standard bottom row.

I have the same keycaps set but blank, I'm usin that set on one of my Ducky k-boards.


Here is a bad picture of my blank Ducky Cream/Cheese set. The k-board is a Ducky Shine 3 or 4.

The Ducky Spacebar in the set have the size 1x6.25 (standard Spacebar size) and there are also Spacebars non - standard sizes 6.0 and 6.5.


Here is a link that showin the Keycaps and Spacebars sizes on some k-boards:

The second row in the link, Ducky, Das, Deck + some more have a standard bottom row size.


The company in the link makes custom keycaps sets but only ANSI 87 - 104 and ISO 88 - 105 keys sets.
