blnak keyboard help

[Son of Gnome]

SO I just bought a das from a member here on geekhack. He bought it because the previous owner had keycaps he wanted, so he took the keycaps off and placed the old ones back on. However since they are blank it is possible that they could have been misplaced. Is there a way to know exactly what row each key goes in or will I just have to eye ball it and just figure it out?

EDIT the title is meant to have blank in it not blnak...

Wont matter really unless it has different sized\angled keys for certian rows.

there are different key profiles for the different rows, i'll see if i can't find a picture to explain it before someone else does

the das should have the DCS family profile to the rows if you look at it from the side.

Is that a trick question?

I would like to see the looks on people's faces when you say,

"I'm trying to figure if this blank key is in the right place."
