Keycap compatibility ?

[Justhavocman]

Will these https://www.massdrop.com/buy/vortex-backlit-doubleshot-pbt-keycaps fit my Quickfire Rapid-i? Cause i've heard that some keyboards got different spacing and\or height adjustment when it comes to keycaps .

Does your keyboard have an ANSI or an ISO layout?

The width/height/size/shape/slope is defined by a standard. ISO 9995 to be exact. The compatibility comes down to how the caps are attached to the stems of the switches. Quickfire Rapid-i has Cherry MX switches.

 

EDIT: Uh. 9555 was about the placement and such. ISO 9241 is about the form.

In this case they should fit. CM seems to have gone for a standart layout http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/keycap-compatibility

I can't remember if the CM Quickfires use standard layout, but I'm pretty sure that they use costar stabilizers - or at least my Quickfire TK did. Those PBT keycaps (which I also own) use are designed for Cherry stabilizers, so you'll need to buy some inserts from somewhere like WASD to make stuff like the Spacebar work.

They actually use cherry stabilizers , the rapid i mean , i think they switched to cherry stabilizers a couple of years back since both my Tk's and my rapid use cherry ones.
