Adapter kit
An "Adapter Kit" is a small set of key caps that complement and/or replace a set of key caps from a keyboard. The keycaps in an adapter kit should have the same characteristics (stem, profile, colour scheme, font) as the original keyboard's but for different keys and/or in different sizes.
Moogle Kit
A Moogle Kit is an adapter kit that complements keys from vintage keyboard for a modern keyboard with 1.25 wide modifiers, such as Windows keys.
A typical Moogle Kit contains modifiers for the bottom row and a 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. This would adapt a set of keys from a winkeyless Cherry Cherry G80-1800 to fit onto a Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless in US-ANSI layout.
So far, Moogle kits have been made for double-shot ABS Cherry MX keys in black on white/grey and in white on black. Runs of Moogle Kits for Dolch and Wyse PCE key caps are active. (See the forums)
The "Moogle Kit" is named after the Geekhack user who first proposed it: "Moogle Stiltzkin". A "Moogle" is a type of creature that appear in several games by Square Enix, such as the Final Fantasy series.
Anti-Caps Lock Kit
An "Anti-Caps Lock" kit is for swapping Caps Lock with a Control key. It contains a 1.75 wide Control key for the home row and a 1.25 wide Caps Lock key for the bottom row.
