104 PBT set for Leopold FC500R

[mr626]

Hi all,

As mentioned in another thread, I'm starting to notice some serious shine on the ABS keys of my FC500R. So, I'd like to buy a set of PBT for my board.

I was looking at getting these:

But when I sent a message to the seller to confirm compatibility he said that the spacebar won't fit.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a PBT keycap set that will suit my board, including the spacebar?

Thanks

Spacebars can be modded to fit the Leopold.

I have considered doing it myself, Dremels, jigs, and epoxy are required, if you enjoy tinkering with things.

Somebody here in the forum will do it for a reasonable sum, either on your spacebar or one he supplies.

Test the improved "search" function and see if it turns up!

Thanks for the suggestion. It's just annoying that Leopold decided they had to be different with their spacebar!

I have this myself.  It required a set of PBT caps and getting someone to modify it.  The space bar on the 500r is just different enough to make sure it won't fit with a 200r space bar.  The Profist(spelling I am lazy now?) has a jig to make this happen if you contact him.
