WASD Keycap Compatibility with Leopold FC200R

[mrstef]

Hey GH, I'm interested in whether or not you guys think the following set will be suitable for a Leopold FC200r. I'm concerned about the contour of the board and the shape of these keys... Any advice?

Thanks!

*Ninja-edit: I know the keys are listed as compatible on the WASD compatibility charts, but I'm specifically interested in consistent feel between these and the stock keys. Thanks!

If it's the 37 key set it should work just fine.  The only thing not compatible is the spacebar.  Since Leopold has weird spacebar stem locations.

Although why don't you get the full set?  I always find just having the 37 key changed look weird.

Also I'm guessing you want blanks, maybe you should give PBT keycaps a try.

Thanks for the reply!

The spacebar issue is a bit confusing -- AFAIK every Leopold above the 200 has a problem with stem spacing, but the 200 is supposed to be compatible? Or is it only compatible with the 'universal' spacebar.

I have a white Leopold TKL, so I think (hope.) the blank black will look sweet on rows 2/3/4... Where can I find more info about the PBT caps??

Would this be a better fit?

The EK offerings fit the Leopold perfectly.  The WASD keys honestly won't fit in that well

Awesome mate! Thanks for the info!
