I have a DURGOD Hades 68 keyboard that I’d love to spruce up with some custom caps. However, I’m not sure where to start with making sure a cap set will fit my board.
I’d really appreciate some advice on how to figure it out? Searching online hasn’t been that fruitful - or I’m not asking the right questions!
Are there any recommended stores for ISO layouts too?
Keycap sizes are pretty much standardized. The only thing you will need to keep an eye out for are your modifier keycaps (enter/shift/space/backspace/bottom row). Those are measured in “u” where 1u is an alpha key, so your modifiers might be 1.25u or 2u or the spacebar is 6.25u/7u normally. So when you find a keycap set you like just check that it includes the right number of mod sizes.
I took a quick look at the Hades68 keyboard and I couldn’t find a specific link but I think this is the same sizing (from a tofu65)
So for looking for keycaps they will generally have a list of the keycap sizes. If you go to https://kbdfans.com/collections/pbtfans-in-stock/products/pbtfans-frontier for example you can see in one of the pictures it has all of the u sizing listed on the keys.
I would guess 95% of keycaps sets will fit 98-99% of standard keyboards (60%-75%) with anything over 75% needing an additional numpad add-on set. Unless you’re getting into some of the weird formats like 40% or ortho you probably won’t need to worry too much.
Hope this makes sense. Let me know if you need any other clarification.
