Keycaps

[tS_kStin]

I am looking for Black Blank key caps that are size 1.5 that are for the two control keys on the QuickFire TK. I got a full set of blanks that fit everything but the bottom row. I was able to find a lot of 1.25 being that is the standard, but I was having trouble with the 1.5. Here is what it looks like now if it helps. http://i.imgur.com/dnJx5Hq.jpg

I don't really shop for ABS caps, so I can't think of any specific sets off the top of my head.

 

but you might have better luck on geekhack main site/classifieds.

 

you're looking for a 'tsangan' set/mods

you could get these, but they are angled differently, because they are designed for the Tab key, so it will not be the same angle as the regular Ctrl keys:

Here are some more options from WASDkeyboards:

Good luck in your quest! I know the pain, I also own a TK and the keycap size really makes it difficult to get replacements.

Yeah I almost went with just a TAB key but I tried it and it just looks to weird and feels really weird

here you can buy quite a lot of different keycaps: http://www.keycapsdirect.com/key-capsinventory.php

 

but be carefull as they count the rows differently:

http://www.keycapsdirect.com/images/key-caps/dcsrowguide.pdf

 

you would need a 1.5x row 4 dcs keycap.

 

as you can see below, they don't have those out of ABS

http://www.keycapsdirect.com/inventorypdfs/DCSABSInventory.pdf

 

however they have those as PBT caps:

http://www.keycapsdirect.com/inventorypdfs/DCSPBTInventory.pdf

 

check out part numbers 303300 and 303083. both are 1.5x black row 4 blank keycaps. i'm not quite sure why there are two different part numbers, maybe its because there are two different shapes for row 4 keys (http://www.keycapsdirect.com/key-caps.php).

pricing is 1$ each plus shipping (should be about 4$ if you live in the united states). maybe you could order two of each part number and check wether they fit. if they don't, your loss is as little as 8$.

Thanks man! I ordered the 303300 so hopfully they are what I am looking for cuz it was $5.72ish I think.

they're going to be a different slope than the stock keys on your board.

 

you bought DCS profile.  if your replacement set was OEM profile, they're not going to match

god damn it i thought those where basically the same (sorry for the misleading information :mellow: ). done some further research, seems like the DCS ones might have a slightly lower profile and a steeper angle. please let us know wether they fit  :wacko:

Will do, I did email them and they did say they were a bit lower than the OEM that I have, its what they have and I think it is better than using a TAB key.
