Spyte Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hello, I just bought the corsair Strafe and so far i really like it but one major problem to me is the size of the alt button... I use this key a lot and my thumb ends up on the spacebar every single time i want to press it... So i would like to know if i can buy custom keycaps that would reduce the size of the spacebar (on the left side) and also having a bigger alt button! Thanks in advance for your answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Henry Posted May 10, 2016 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 10, 2016 The bottom row for our keyboards is not standard, so unfortunately there is no remedy to your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyte Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 alright, i'll have to get used to it then ^^ maybe you could take this as a feedback for your next releases? i was attracted to the "designed for FPS/moba" packaging, and i have to admit that as a RTS/moba player the alt key is very important either it is for control groups or selt cast abilities/items.. Having it as accessible as possible without forcing thumb distortions would be more convenient! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of now, there are no current plans to change the bottom row, but who knows what will happen in the future. We do thank you for the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your answers The problem with this idea is the spacing of the switches them selves. The Alt is a 1x1.25 key which is standard on mechanical keyboards and the switch is aligned so the stem is centered where the keycap is. You'd have to find keycaps with off centered stems which would put a lot of stress on the keycap and the switch. These keyboards off a 1x1.5 Alt with a 1x6.0 space bar: Max Nighthawk | CM Storm Quickfire Ultimate | Rosewill Apollo 9100 | Monoprice 9180, 9181, 9433 | Func KB 460 | Sentey Crimson , Cobalt Pro | Tesoro G1N, G1NL, G3NL | Razer Blackwidow Chroma.
