Paying that price to test the switches is always better than regretting after buying wrong switch. (applies to those who don't have nearby shops/friends to test)

Blackwidow is R1,R2,R3 and R4.

It means that the bottom most row(nearest to you) is R1, and the next rows are R1, R2, R3, R4 and R4.

In case you confused. It is R1(near you), R1, R2, R3, R4, R4(furthest).

i totally dont get it..

ohh icic, now i get it..

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9889985904

this one suitable for blackwidow and steelseries6gv2 anot?

or u can recommend better ones.

The "Esc" and "~`" rows are R4 height, the "Tab" row is R3 height, the "Caps Lock" row is R2 height and the "Shift" and "Ctrl" row is R1 height. It apply for the whole row.

BTW, even if they are called R1, R2 and so on. They still having different standard(in height/elevation especially) for different OEM and manufacturers. For example BWU's keycaps are taller compared to most other brands.

Added on March 1, 2012, 9:56 pmMost replacement keycaps can fit almost all brands perfectly, except that some will be either a little too low or too high(more than a little for Cherry/Noppoo).

The problem with Blackwidow is hard(near to impossible) to find suitable replacement for the "Ctrl" row.

The problem with SS7G on the other hand is harder(except those custom made for SS7G) to find the "Enter"/"Right Shift".

so that u are saying that, the all the keys above the CTRL row for the blackwidow fits perfectly? accept for the last row?
the ss6gv2 enter and right shift button not suitable?

The keys should fit Blackwidow(a little lower than original height). The last row can't fit because the last row is using a odd layout which not much OEM go for, thus no ppl make replacement for it.

For SS, it is the having a rare(in term of what normally found on others) size for "Enter" or "Shift".

all this mkb thing is driving me nuts, feel like buying already even before testing.. lol

what is the cheapest mechanical keyboard?
thanks~

Cherry MX wise, China branded boards(noppoo, keycool, poker, flashget and many more, some are good but some are...) or Ducky 1008.

If not necessary Cherry MX, then should be Ducky 1008XM, which use alps switch.
