Cherry Profile WIN Key?
« on: Mon, 11 August 2014, 21:29:49 »
I'm having a lot of trouble finding awesome win-keys for my Cherry G80.

I'm swapping in authentic Cherry doubleshot red modifier keys (ctrl, shift, alt, enter, esc), but I have nothing for the win key!!

What choices do I have for Cherry profile win?

I also want to do something with oldschool Dolch keycaps, but they also do not have the win key, unfortunately.

none existed until GMK came around

your best bet is buying a GMK RGB winkey set from the classifieds

Thanks for the info. That makes a lot of sense that there wouldn't be any win keys originally.

What about the Menu key, are there any cherry profile modifiers that would go nicely with the RGB + winkey sets?

I'm planning to do a Dolch keyset + RGB with winkey. The Dolch (old school) does not come with win or menu keys, so will have to find a suitable menu key :P

Yep, this. Loads of G80 POS boards have black, fully compatible winkeys. Then boards like G80-3000HRMUS have beige ones. Unfortunately there aren't any original Dolch winkeys.

So do we have any 1.25x modifier key width options with Cherry Profile?

Imsto PBT, GMK, any Cherry G80 with 1.25 bottom row (e.g 8200HPBUS, 3000HRMUS), also the 1.25x short left shift on any Cherry ISO set. All of these will be Cherry profile.

Worth noting that any Cherry G81 with 1.25 mods won't work, as they have off-center stems. G80s are fine though.

Thanks for the reply, makes sense that all of those would be Cherry profile.

I actually have a new G80 (came with POM laser-engraved keycaps in Cherry profile) that I want to change to Dolch vintage and the GMK RGBY set keycaps. The GMK RGBY means that I'll have the Alt, Ctrl, Shift, Win covered, but I will need a Menu keycap.

The OG Dolch keycaps don't have the menu key, and the GMK RGBY don't include it. Do you have any suggestions? I would not want to use the original keycaps that came with the G80, which are laser engraved POM keycaps, and would look out of place with the new doubleshot ABS caps from the Dolch + GMK RGBY.

Are there any single novelty/whatever keycaps that would go nicely in the Menu key slot (so just one key) that is available, and most importantly in cherry profile?

Thanks for reading! I tried to be specific because I'm having trouble figuring out what to do to finish this "design". So close to my dream keyboard, yet one key away!
