Hello, I am seriously thinking about purchasing these keycaps to cover a 109 JIS Owltech keyboard layout. https://www.owltech.co.jp/products/pc/keyboard/kb109cbu2/kb109cblu2-bk_02_cherry_usb_mechanical_keyboard_109_key.jpg
If i get alphas, noire, numpad, UK, and minibars I still need one more R3 1.5u key (noire has 4) to entirely cover the bottom row. Is there any other option that fully covers this board or do I have to get the missing key from elsewhere?

MFahimI have no idea about what keycap size this keyboard uses, but in any case all of the renders will be showing keycap sizes soon. Be welcome to check for yourself!

MiToThanks, it's basically an ISO, but the only difference is that the bottom row has 5 1u keys and 5 1.5u keys and the spacebar. I'm trying to see what would be the most practical way to get 5 1.5u R3 keys since noire appears to have only four.

MFahimThis JIS keyboard's spacebar is 2.5u, but none of the kits have that size. Not sure an SA 2.5u tool even exists. Noire's R3 2.25u Enter key would work if you're OK with a 0.125u gap on each end. Or Minibars has blank R3 2.25u caps. Or you could use a spacebar from somewhere else.
If turquoise Modifiers work for you, then @MiTo's Hobbyist solution is best. But if you're after black Modifiers, here are some other ideas: * Use one of Noire's R3 1.25u keycaps in place of the fifth 1.5u (also with 0.125u gaps). * Get the fifth 1.5u in black from Blanks. * If some turquoise is OK, the Mac kit has four R3 1.5u keycaps - might compliment the turquoise ISO Enter.
Of course 100% correct legends aren't possible, but Norde has three more than UK: 6, 8, and 9.
Hope you find something that works for you!

dvorcolI've been using 2.25 and I've gotten used to ignoring the gap. Thanks for the help though.
I also use Microsoft layout editor so I don't have to mess with non matching legends.
