Razer BlackWidow Chroma Question

[Zikama]

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the keycaps from the keyboard?

It is possible, but they have their own switches, so most 3rd parties keycaps don't work.

yes

Yeah I know, I'm just going to swap two keycap's positions, since they've placed them wrong based on my keyboard input.

are they the modifier keys (control, alt, windows) then you may have a problem. On the old Blackwidow, the keys were different size. not sure about the Chroma. Also, be sure the keycaps are the same size/curve. On most keyboard, the rows have a different curve to the keycaps

Nah it's two letter caps, which apparently they've placed opposite of how they're supposed to be in my country

So hopefully that shouldn't be a hassle to switch those two.

Actually, Razer switches are based on Cherry MX design so they are compatible with Cherry MX keycaps. Like most gaming mechanical keyboards (Quickfire TK, K70, K95, G710+, etc.), the bottom row is non-standard which makes it hard to find full sets. And of course if you have a non-US layout that also adds extra difficulty to finding complete sets. Ducky has options for most languages and WASDKeyboards lets you customize it to your language.
