Help a total n00b out?

[mars-bar-man]

Well, I'm still relatively new to this mech board malarky.

I've seen a lot of keycaps for sale with things like R1, R2 etc next to them, I figured the R means Row, but the number bit has me stumped..

Does R1 means that's the F row? Or the bottom row with the space bar etc?

Mainly asking because I've got a KBT Pure on the way and I fancy getting creative with some engraved keycaps.

i'll be nice this time though
R1 means the function and number row for SP-produced keys
R1 means the ctrl/alt and shift/zxcv row for OEM-produced keys, including WASD.

it's not always clear but figuring out the source of the keycaps will usually tell you the proper notation.

This should help you out: WASD keyboard layout

EDIT: Sth is right, here is example of SP layout with Rows labeled: Deskthority Wiki

Cheers Metal!

sth, I tried Googling, but having just finished work, my mind wasn't in 'logic' mode, so I ended up finding out nothing. Thanks for the help though!

keep in mind the row difference i mentioned. WASD uses OEM numbering. Most of our Group Buys come from SP so they are the opposite.

Thanks, I'm looking to buy a load of caps from there anyway, I'll wait a little longer before I delve into the depths of Group Buys..
