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?

    Thank you for the recommendation for the tofu comparison. I’m going to measure some keys and compare.

    In that link you provided I noticed mentions of “r#”. I’m guessing I need to make sure they match the rows of my keys for the angle of the cap?

    Do you have any other site that you consider reputable / have a wide collection? Thanks again!

      For you the row will only really apply to the right hand side since the “a” key will always be on row 3 and every key cap set will have “a” at the same height. The delete/home/end or whatever you decided to put on the right hand side above the arrow key will might be mismatched slightly but overall I don’t think it’s a big issue. On my keyboard my “r4” key is actually a “r3” key but it’s close enough and it’s only 1 key that’s off.

      KBDFans is probably the biggest store, but they do a lot of group buy stuff and sell extras after the group buy. You could do amazon, the massdrop/drop sets are a good starting place for keycaps. Otherwise most keycaps stores are specific to your country so for me in Canada I’ve got deskhero, ashkeebs and a couple others but the US has Kono, Canonkeys a bunch of others. You can check your region here for a list of stores: https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

        Got it, one to keep an eye on but a slight +/-1 variance in the row wont be anything critical.

        This is really useful thank you, and that alexotos.com vendor list is spot on. Time to start measuring and browsing! 🙌
