So I wanna use the ducky PBT pudding keycaps:https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=5790 that use a standard keyboard layout but when I look at actual keyboards, none use this supposedly "standard" layout. The only keyboards that actually fit the layout were ducky keyboards. If you can help me find some RGB hot-swap keyboards that actually use this layout that would be great. Some examples of keyboards that have RGB and hot-swap but don't use this layout: Glorious GMMK, Royal Kludge SK61, Massdrop CTRL

Could you be a lot more specific.  What about that keycap set doesn't fit other keyboards?

It does follow that ducky's keycaps would be a set that fit their keyboard layouts specifically though.

I think it fits those keyboards, what’s the problem?

All 3 of the keyboards you named DO use the layout of the caps you linked. It very much is the standard.

That said, if you like RGB, that's cool, but the idea of a "gaming focused" keyboard is a meme. You can game, quite well, on basically any board. An argument could be made that linear switches are often better for competetive games, but even that is subjective to be honest.

a few very old boards may have issues with wasd but other than that you rarely need anything that is on a gamer board for games, yeah you can use macros to cheat with some boards but that's pretty much where it ends.
