I ran across these KBC semi-translucent keycaps a few days ago and I'm rather smitten with the look of them. They remind me of the translucent keys on the Apple Pro Keyboard (circa '00-'03), which had crappy typing feel, but looked awesome IMHO. I recently purchased a Leopold FC500RC/AB with Cherry Blues for work. I'm wondering if there would be problems installing the KBC keycaps on that board. The site says "good for Filco/Ducky". From what I've read, the Filco and Leopold are pretty damn close to identical aside from the stabilizers. Any reason that might prevent these from working? This pic shows that the longer keys look like they would work with the Cherry stabilizers on the Leopold

Everything from that set except the spacebar will fit your Leopold. Leopold dosen't follow the same stem spacing standard on spacebar as everyone else for some reason. You'll have the same issue with many other mx keysets. Some sets have universal spacebar will work with the 200 (700?), but 500 has different spacing that is different again.

Thanks! I would've had no idea about the space bar. That's kind of annoying, but I can live with it being a regular black key. I've got some red keys (ESC and arrows) that will be staying as well. Maybe I'll post some pics when it's all said and done.

I think the FC700 and 500 are the same spacebar, but I think the 200 is compatible with most standard space bars.
