PBT keycap set on Leopold

post #1 of 7

Thread Starter 
Does anyone know the compatibility of this PBT keycap set on a Leopold FC500RR? I know they're made for cherry MX switches but I want to know if the set itself is compatible with the Leopold; I heard past Leopold keyboards have had compatibility issues.

Also, how easy is it to keep white keycaps clean? Can they be easily washed?

Rofl. The sellers description is not much help.
Quote:
Note: It would fit any cherry mx switches, but it might not fit every keyboard due to the size. I would say 90% fit for any keyboard.

Looks fine but the spacebar on Leopolds have unusual stem spacing so ask the seller if he knows.

Nope.

The FC700R does.

Looks like I'll shoot off a message to the seller.

Looks like no go. The guy doesn't sell any keycap sets with a compatible spacebar. Does anyone know where I can get a compatible keycap set?
