Cherry MY7000 HPBUS White on Black Double Shot Caps Vintage Profile.
« on: Mon, 18 March 2013, 17:04:09 »
This is the link to the original seller of the keyboard at ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-MY7000-HPBUS-POS-Credit-Card-Swipe-Keyboard-Black-/400422698537?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item5d3b0d7e29

I found this keyboard for 9.99 at ebay, I bought only the key caps and the shipment was only 5.5. I think someone has already mention this finding, but I think it worth to refer it one more time. I installed them in a KBC Poker, and its feeling change for the better, the height of the caps is shorter than the original poker's that makes the feeling to be a little bit more responsive like installing an o-ring or hard dampener, other difference is the shape of the F and J keys to place your index fingers, instead of having a bar or dot protruding from the surface they have a deeper curve, that makes them very confortable. It is a shame some of the keys are shinny as a mirror  8) , because the feeling is so great. 16081-0 What can I ask for being only a cheap replacement set. They are double shots so while shiny they will not fade.

I have a $10 Cherry MY7000 HPBUS board that just arrived at home. So I'm happy to hear that the key caps worked out so well!

I see you're still using your default caps for the bottom row, which seem to work nicely. How do you like having the bottom row in a different profile?

The bottom row is a little bit taller of course, but feels nice, also the right shift and the caps lock are the originals. They can be replaced because of size or stems or stabilizers that do not match.

I am waiting for some caps so these ones will be just a back up, but I will keep the F/J and the tilde cap just for fun and comfort.

Please post yours when you install them or use your new keyboard.

Can you show a picture of the spacebar and the keys larger than 1X (shifts, enter etc.) you harvested from the MY board?

Just be aware that modifiers will not fit the Poker, I only managed to have the left shift and the enter key fitting it. Post yours when you get them.

These keycaps are even better if you have a pure I guess. The spacebar might fit a blackwidow?

Oddly, the spacebar from the MY7000 sets says PBT from the mould. I wonder if Cherry made PBT editions of their boards... ?.?

If you might be interested in some colorful also have a look at my groupbuy for modifers sets.

Of course they make PBT, all the lasered key in light color are PBT.

Ah, so if I were to find a black set with lasering, that would be PBT?

No only light color lasered is PBT like light grey, white/biege. Lasered black keys are POM.

 :-* I think I'm in love.  :-*

The keyboard came in Monday evening. I scrubbed the keys and installed them on Tuesday and have been using them for the past two days. I can see now what all the fuss is about. I really like everything about the Cherry profile and build quality. Now the quest is on to find a caps lock, right shift and modifiers. Until then, the OEM profile keys are working OK.

I posted a photo gallery on Flickr that you can find at this link.

Excellent! The keys profile is awesome, the F/J curves fits the finger tips like charm. Congrats that you get the finding.

I have added the link of the original ebay offer:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-MY7000-HPBUS-POS-Credit-Card-Swipe-Keyboard-Black-/400422698537?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item5d3b0d7e29

I just checked and the keyboards are still available at $10, plus shipping. The seller dropped the S&H cost when I explained that I wanted only the caps.
