neopillThere is no such thing as gaming keyoard. Its a marketing word. Anyway every TKL with 6.25u spacebar would do best for you. There are plenty of offers out there.

neopillTo add to this, don't get Corsair or Logitech as they do not have a standard spacebar size so you won't be able to use the spacebar from these kits. Razers on the other hand are just over-priced so you should stay away from those as well ;-).

8six753o9Thanks for heads up.. I use Roccat anyhow! All my products such as mice and Keyboards have been Roccat. (German Engineered) kinda funny cuz These caps designed by a German dude! Im thinking if these would fit Suora FX since it’s mechancial keys. Right now I have Vulcan 120 and it’s great but do like mechanical keybaoards. Lately the driver for Vulcan have been finicky.

Hey Dude.. Just bought two kits.. Base Kit + Boneyard Alphas. Anyhow I will be moving this month (Sometimes in December).. It will be to different address.. Do I send to you my new address through here? OR would you be able to send to new address when I update in my profile?
I also ordered two gaming mice as well that will be shipping sometimes in 2019- Those will need to go to new address as well.

LMK so it'll be smooth shipping from the warehouse to the right address. :)

T0mb3ryHey Dude... Got a question for you.. How do I find out which keyboards these caps will fit. I know the specs you gave me here.. For example The Razer rep was reluctant in answering my questions if the caps would fit theirs. Then they finally told me it would not fit. What gives? HOw do I know so I don't have to deal with the hassle of copy right or tech can't be share blah-blah-blah... Do you have any suggestion in how do I now if it'll fit? (if it's a noob question then pardon me for asking.. :)) Maybe if you had a list of keyboards that you know these will def fit then send me that link or direct me to that site. (For example ErgoDox had a list of what cables would work or not work).. That sort of info please.

neopillWhich Razer keebs are you referring to? These caps can fit into keebs using MX style switches.

neopillAs far as i know Razer Blackwidow has a 6u spacebar and the base kit should fit it without any issues. Anyway i don't have Blackwidow at my disposal so i don't know if there are any corks existing within Blackwidow. Overall i do not recommend you to get any of "gaming" keyboards because there are no gaming keyboards (there is nothing that makes those keyboard better for gaming than other keyboards) and usually those are overpriced due to all advertisement done for these. You know advertisement is most expensive part in those. If you want solid keyboard with a good price tag and backlit you should look at keyboards from Cooler Master for example. Depending on your budget you can also look for keyboards with aluminum cases like CTRL keyboard from Massdrop. There are plenty of options. Usually the Carbon/Bone base is able to fit any layout which is derived from the standard layout (excluding layouts with 6.5u spacebars for example Corsair keyboards)

T0mb3ryHey T0mb3ry.. Thanks for the info! I guess I keep getting these due to their GUI allowing to set up the keys to what I want from keys to setting lighting effect to the keys. Not only that but let's me have different options to go with it. I was looking at Cooler MasterSet M120 set.. So I assumed the keycaps will work with this set up then.. I will check out the Aluminum cases like CTRL keyboard.. If I have any questions I'll be sure to ask away.. one more question is there a open source GUI kit where I can flash to the generic keyboards to my fitting for different RGB and different options?

neopillOpensource? Only QMK comes into mind at this point. Tho QMK has no GUI and its also requires some knowledge to setup. I personally haven't used QMK before because it will require some time to get into. But so far i know no other opensource software for programming a keyboard.
