i think the letters dictate whether the board has things like credit card readers, additional macro keys, and things like that. but to be totally straight forward with you i dont really know. this is me guesstimating.

There are always G81/MY-whatever also. Just be aware you won't get a 100% compatible set with any of those generally unless they are for a similar other Cherry brand keyboard model perhaps. If you wish to demystify yourself on Cherry model codes, see here.

These keys are just what I hoped they'd be. The feel of the POM, the profile, and I even prefer the scoops now that I've used them for a few weeks. Thank you for this thread tricheboars, can't tell you what a relief it is to stop using the keys that came with the board.

I've been looking for sales on ebay but haven't found a board yet. Any other suggestions for a good Cherry profile match for these keys? Would the blanks in IvanIvanovich's PBT group buy that ends the 10th be good? Anything else I should consider?

With the G80-8113LUVEU-2 board you got, looking at the codes how would I be able to tell that the keys are POM and not PBT? It looks like the L means either one.

dude i am glad you like those cherry POM caps! i love them too. i use them on my daily driver custom poker with ivan's purple modifiers.  it is pretty nice. i am still loving the POM. 

my g80-8113 came with slightly dirty POM caps. i am going to dental tab clean them since according to the cherry software it came with 1,100,000 keystrokes when i got it. they are kind of dirty too.

my cherry g80-8113 is completely disassembled at this point. i have been taking the hakko to it a lot lately. it also has a credit card reader on it as well. browns are not very good switches imo.

Looks like the POM "Custom Ctrl Set" would go with this legend set?  Not as good of a deal, of course.  Also, double-shot PBT arrow key set? o.o  They really need to give more information on their site.
(from the "Pimp my Keyboard" section).

i agree. signature plastics website has 0 information about their products. it is annoying and a really bad business tactic. i have little doubt that with a better page signature plastics could greatly increase their sales through their online store.  but who wants to pay a coder for 2 weeks? NOT signature plastics thats who!

POM and SPH are how i roll these days.

Did someone say G81!?

Toss out the caps, keep the board... throw some sick set on a G81.

I bought a Dolch PAC, took the caps, threw out the board and computer, and put those ****s on my G81-1800.

I am still obsessed with the POM action after all this time. Just want to double down and say these caps are one of the best way to spend 18$
