A keycap solution for my Leopold FC200RT
« on: Tue, 12 April 2016, 15:17:44 »
Hey guys, so I have a Leopold FC200RT and I am having a hell of a time getting a full set of caps with the non uniform spacebar  >:D. I have two options right now, replace the entire board with a KUL or find somewhere that offers a full set of either thick pbt caps or nice doubleshot caps. I hate to decom this board just due to the lack of caps, but I am getting to that point. I have a set of cheap thin/blank pbt caps that are starting to show there age.. Never really enjoyed them either, they always felt somewhat cheap...

There is a drop on massdrop on a Set of blank PBT keycaps right now, dont know if they are thick or not, but they seem allright: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/blank-pbt-keycaps
Of cause only if you don't mind the plain look, just a suggestion after all.

Oh yes, there is also the other set right now, DSA profile, thick doubbleshot ABS: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/hana-dsa-custom-keycap-set
That one is a little bit nicer then the blank ones, and something a little different, as well as very much customisable, should fit all your non-standard layout needs.

I still rotate my FC200R as one of my daily drivers. Purchased that set and have zero reasons to ever swap it out, especially since it comes with a compatible spacebar. It's a well received thick PBT set and affordable as well.
