Hi
Is there a list somewhere of commonly findable keycap sizes, especially modifiers, and what set types they come in? For example, i heard iso sets have certain shift sizes, but i can't remember what.
Thanks!

Left ISO Shift is shorter than ANSI Left Shift.
ANSI Jukebox SA and ISO/Nordic Jukebox SA. Ducky One RGB YOTG and ISO/Nordic Ducky Shine 3.

Most keycaps have different height caps on each row too, making this a big and complicated list...
ISO left shift is 1.25 wide vs the 2.25 ANSI version - if you want the correct legend you'll need an ISO kit.
The bottom row mods are all 1.25 in a standard set to go with a 6.25 spacebar, another common bottom row that's included in the base kit of most custom sets is 1.5-1-1.5-7-1.5-1-1.5 which mimics the old winkeyless layout - look out for the big spacebar to know.
The other common non-standard mod is the 1.75 split right shift and an FN key to go next to it. This is usually in the base set too in recent sets as 60% boards are so popular.
Anything else you're looking at extra kits which may not be available in every set, so if you plan to swap you may want to avoid them.
You are looking to design a custom board, right? If not I probably failed to answer :blank:

Yeah, this info is exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks for the help!
