Your bottom row should be 1.5u - 1u - 1.5u - 7u - 1.5u - 1u - 1.5u. Otherwise known as Tsangan bottom row.

I checked your kit and you have the keycaps for it.

You are correct. I’ll swap them out, thank you!

Are these sizes to fill inn the tiny gaps around space bar etc? Immthinking about buying my first kit

Yes. Those correct sizes fill those gaps. Many base kits come with different sizes to accommodate different keyboard variations!

I nearly made the same mistake when I got my Tiger Lite. For some reason in my head it was a 6.25u spacebar because I didn't read the layout properly, so luckily I double checked before buying my tx stabs. When I actually got it built PBTfans was nice enough to include the 7u bar in an additional bottom row with the tsangan caps in my neons, which helped me not to forget again lol.

Ya that was just a complete oversight by me. Was too excited once I finished the board.

Visually yes they are, and really apply more to 7u spacebars.

Though more importantly to me they have the added benefit of giving you slightly larger ctrl and alt keys, and makes the win key harder to hit by accident. For me that means 0 accidental win key presses when crouching, or since I play MMOs keyboard style, when I'm hitting an additional hotbar combi (i.e. alt+something).

And if I wanna rage quit, they give me a nice big alt key to alt F4 with XD
