Editing Adapter kit

An '''adapter kit''' is a small set of [[:Category:Keycaps|keycaps]] that complement and/or replace a set of keycaps from one keyboard to fit the layout of another keyboard.
The keycaps in an adapter kit should have the same characteristics (stem, [[keycap profile|profile]], colour scheme, [[Keyboard fonts|font]]) as the original keyboard but for different keys and/or in different sizes.

== Moogle kit ==
A '''moogle kit''' is an adapter kit that complements keys from vintage keyboard so that they fit onto a modern keyboard with [[Unit|1.25 units]] wide [[modifier key]]s, such as [[Windows key]]s.

A typical moogle kit contains modifiers for the bottom row and a [[Space bar|space bar]]. It is common for them to also contain a [[caps lock]] key with a ''centered'' stem (as opposed to off-center stem) and a 2.75 wide right shift key, even though not all users may need them.

The original moogle kits were designed to allow the use of Cherry [[Double-shot molding|doubleshot]] ABS keys (harvested off a cheap keyboard in the [[:Category:Cherry G80 series|Cherry G80 series]]) on a modern [[Filco Majestouch]].
Moogle kits have also been made [[Dolch]] and [[Wyse PCE]].

The term "moogle kit" is named after the [[keyboard communities#Geekhack|Geekhack]] user who first proposed it: ''Moogle Stiltzkin'' <ref>https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=14240.msg284302#msg284302</ref><ref>https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=14698.0</ref>. A "Moogle" is a type of creature that appear in several games by Square Enix, such as the Final Fantasy series.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_design_of_Final_Fantasy#Moogle</ref>

The term "moogle kit" (MOOGLEWHITE and MOOGLEBLACK) had been first introduced by [[User:7bit|7bit]] as order-IDs for the [[Round 3]] group buy in early 2011.

== Anti-caps lock kit ==
An '''anti-caps lock kit''' is for swapping [[caps lock]] with a control key. It contains a [[Unit|1.75 units]] wide control key for the home row and a 1.25 units wide caps lock key for the bottom row.

Other alternatives for this kit exist. For instance,  [[Keyboard_layouts#Colemak_.282002.29|Colemak]] users might want to replace their caps lock with a 1.75 wide [[Backspace key]] and leave the small [[Control key]] on the bottom row.

== Tsangan kit ==
[[File:CherryTsangan.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The keys on the left side are from a Cherry-replica Tsangan kit commissioned from [[Signature Plastics]]. The keys on the right side are authentic Cherry/GMK keys. The purple key is from a GMK set]]
A '''tsangan kit''' is an adapter kit that contains 1.5 units wide [[Control key|Control]] and [[Alt key|Alt]] modifiers on the space bar-row. It often also includes a 1 unit wide [[Windows key]], a 7-unit space bar and a 1.75-wide [[Shift key]].

Tsangan kits have been made for Cherry doubleshot ABS keys, [[Wyse PCE]] and also as an additional option in group orders of new keycap kits.
Authentic Cherry doubleshot white-on-black 1.5 wide modifier keys are very rare.

For some keyboards, a tsangan kit would be the opposite of a moogle kit.
Named after the Geekhack user ''Tsangan''.
