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?
Remember also to check the profile of the keycap set. For example, if you choose a cherry profile, not all keys are equally tall, but are designed for a specific row. So if you want, say, and “A” on your bottom row, a cherry profile “A” won’t be as tall as other keys on that row, of you otherwise populate it with Row1 keys (like Ctrl etc.)
This is also important if you want to do some non-qwerty layout, like Dvorak. For that, you’d need either a cherry Dvorak set, or a set with a flat profile.
Thank you for the heads up. I stumbled by a cross section of layouts last night and was surprised at the variation. I think is like the cherry layout but I’ve not really know to keep an eye out for it.
It seems to be a little more available / open now though? I remember trying to look a few years back and there felt like much less options for ISO layout. Genuinely excited at the prospect now!
I did notice yesterday there’s appears not as much shine through based options, which is something I was hoping to continue from this default set I have.
I’m on ISO, too. Danish, on top. It’s still a struggle - or very often quite expensive!
I haven’t looked into shine through at all. My impression is that that’s mainly painted keycaps, that will were down quicker. I think so of the bigger brands sell some, like Keychron, Razer, Steel Series have some, but then often OEM profile. I might be wring though, as again, I haven’t looked for those sets.
