I was wondering if I could use these key caps: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keycap-set/87-key-cherry-mx-keycap-set.html

On this keyboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823114041

As they are or will I have to change some Keycap sizes, and if I will what will I have to change to what size?
 

Note: I am going to have the keycaps be the same gray and orange from this video:

Yea, razer mechanical keyboards use the same stem as cherry.

It looks like a few of the keys towards the bottom right of the modifiers are a different size, is that just that photo or will I need to have some of the keycaps changed to a different size?

yep same stem. i really hate razer, they make some of the best looking matt black keyboard bases but there software is a bit sucky 

Do I need to get a few keycap sizes changed, it seems like a few of the keycaps are smaller on the Razer keyboard than on the keycap set

You need to select the correct set, there is a 87, 88, 104 and a 105 key set. On the 88 and 105 set the left shift is smaller to allow for an additional button.

Additionally you should select the correct layout for each key set.

Case Bitfenix Ghost, Mobo Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, CPU i7 6700K @4.2 Ghz cooled by Arctic cooling Freezer i30, (barely). GPU Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 @1519Mhz core, RAM 16Gb Crucial Ballistix CL16 @2400Mhz. SSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus as my OS drive. HDD's  1TB  Seagate ST31000524AS its OEM, 3TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x 500GB WDC Blue (RAID 0)

If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.

WASDkeyboards actually have a comparability list on their site. Themoreyouknow.jpg

 

compatibility-razer600.jpg

 

Green = Compatible.

Yellow = Compatible, but not included with our standard keycap sets. This key will need to be purchased separately.
Red = Incompatible. We do not carry this keycap.

Nah, the bottom row is custom.

The only company who carries compatible sets for Razer, Corsair and some models of CM Storm, is Max Keyboards.
