OEM keys are used by manufacturers to activate a new PC. They're intended for just one computer only, so they're tied to the hardware of the system (usually the motherboard) that the key is used on.

Read More »You might know your version of Windows (i.e., Windows Home or Windows Pro), and hopefully you knew how to get Windows for cheap or even free, but do you know if it’s a retail, OEM, or volume license? That distinction affects your ability to move the key to a different computer. Retail keys are the most flexible type of license. You’re allowed to reuse such a key on different computers. (However, you can’t use a single license on multiple computers simultaneously.) So if you build a whole new PC, you can move the license over to it with no hassle.

If you’re not ready for a deep dive, it’s OK. Community projects have separate pages for announcements, questions, and feedback. You can visit those group buy pages (via links on Kono product pages under the details heading or directly) to ask about coverage for your keyboard. You might even see a reply from the set designer! That said, you should know how keycaps are measured. Manufacturers and designers use “units” to determine keycap size. 1u is typically the horizontal width of an alpha key, like H or Up. Standard spacebars are 6.25u or 6.25 H keys lined up in a row.
Unless it's specified, you should play what feels most comfortable. But be sure to start the chord (especially those that start with white keys)...
