Convert Filco Tenkeylss USA Layout To UK layout ?

(1/2) > >>

Dirty Bint:
Hi,

Is it possible using replacement keycaps to convert the Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless USA layout to a UK layout?

If I bought a USA layout, are there Fillco Majestouch UK keycaps available from the 105 key UK version of the Majestouch to carry out the conversion or would there be some mechanical or software issues with this proposal?

Thx
Dirty Bint

In theory it would be possible, but probably never worth it. The work involved in this is crazy. Since the switches are mounted on a metal plate, you would have to cut new holes into the metal place for the new switch and two new stabilizatiors. After that you would have to drill the PCB to make mounting holes for the new switches. While doing this you would naturally damage the existing circuit and would have to fix it on the broken parts by manually bridging the circuit with wires. And then there is still the problem to find fitting keycaps..

Hi Dirty Bint.
Sixty has summed that up better than I could.
UK Tenkeyless is going to happen. Just not in the next few months.

Dirty Bint:
Bruce,

Thx for the info re the future availability, one customer here, ready & waiting.
