Title: Enter key for CM Storm QFR?
Post by: macguy80 on Mon, 05 November 2018, 02:15:44

I have a 97-year-old friend. Whenever I ask her to find the Enter key, she can't, because it doesn't literally say Enter. Is there any place you know of that I can buy JUST a standard ANSI key labeled "Enter", instead of an icon? A whole keyset would be too much.

Having a different colour key is also a good idea - it would stand out more.  "Press the red key", for example.

One could easily be forgiven for wondering that, based on the apparent fact that only ONE model of keyboard is presently listed as being in stock. Can someone tell me what kind of stabs the QFR has, and any tips, if it happens to be Costar?

With regard to the keycap linked above, is it going to matter? If so, it doesn't say which type it's made for.

Yes!

QFR = Costar.

The keycap SpAmRaY linked to looks like one from their similarly-coloured sets.  I have a green set 9thanks SpAmRaY!) - they are thin ABS with tampo printing.  I ahve not used it enough to wear the legends off, but they probably would wear after a short period of use.

Though generally considering the shipping cost and stuff it's not very cost effective to buy just one key but otherwise this will be a good fit.
