Drop + MiTo SA Godspeed Custom Keycap Set Discussions | Drop

Oct 9, 2016

I don't want to ask a question that has already been asked in this discussion thread, but would a kit from this fit my Corsair Strafe, or a Blackwidow Ultimate/Chroma? If not, is there a keyboard you guys recommend for gaming that will work well and that these will fit? I absolutely love the style of these.

SkiityI'd recommend a CM Masterkeys Pro, Ducky Shine or some other board with a standard bottom row. The Corsair & Blackwidow boards you mention have an odd layout in that bottom row that screws up most aftermarket keysets. Get the keys now though--you'll have like 6 months to get your board!

SkiityLeopold if you can get one. FC750R or the new FC980M!

JebbraI joined to get the Cockpit + Calculus. I'm looking for another keyboard since the keys won't fit my Corsair Strafe. Just to double check before I order anything... https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2055 will work with these keycaps?
Just don't want to spend $200+ on a keyboard+keycap set to realize they don't fit :P

SkiityCockpit and Calculus have different profiles (2-2-3-3-3-3 and 1-1-2-3-4-3 respectively) so you probably want to go with alphas + modifiers + calculus instead.
That board will need more than those kits to fill, though I am not sure which ones.

WaahHonestly I have no idea what I'm looking for here. I'm new to the keyboard scene, and don't understand what "2-2-3-3-3-3 and 1-1-2-3-4-3" stand for. I've even googled and check 4 pages deep to find nothing. Would it be possible to fill me in?

SkiityEasiest way to describe it would be the height and shape of keys on a given row..?

nnc-tlbWow, that actually summed it up nicely. Thank you very much from both of you (and those who responded to me). I very very much appreciate it.

SkiitySadly for FC980M you need Tsafox too for some non standard keys around the arrow. So Alpha+Mods+Calculus+Tsafox. Or if you dont mind irrelevant legend get Novelties instead of Tsafox, it's more fun and unique to Godspeed only.

JebbraWould you be able to recommend a keyboard less than $130ish that only requires Alpha+Mods? I love the look, but I really don't want to be spending $250+ on a keyboard lol. I've got an alright amount of money, but not that much ;(

SkiityLike MiTo said, Filco Majestouch TKL. I will go with Leopold FC750R if possible tho. The build quality is superb and the simplicity is up to my taste, bonus point on pre-installed silenced case too.

JebbraMan, you guys are really quick in responding. This community on Massdrop is superb :P. Thank you, you two. Ill look into both of them. They both actually look fantastic. I'm leaning more towards the Filco only because of the 'cream' version matching the 'feel' of the keycaps, even if it's $25 more :(

SkiityIt is morning here so I can quickly responding, and I know how it feels getting started in mechkey so I will gladly help with my knowledge.
FC750R not pure white too, I have one and it is creamy. Damn I sounds like a sales rep of Leopold at this point lol.

JebbraOh, is it actually creamy? That's kind of the 'old school' look that I would REALLY like to go for.

Oct 10, 2016

SkiityNot that creamy but not pure white too. I have FC750R which I thought white, then I got Poker 2 in white and my Leo suddenly looks very vintage white, that's for some illustration. I'll add pic if I can find it, I remember taking the pic of both.

That's my 660M for reference (ignore the miami keycaps, I was checking how it looks on the board and the not standard layout shift keys)

SkiitySolo in the wild, white eh?

With FC750R Black, still white.

With Poker 2 White (bottom), mindblown.
