I'll be keeping a few of these for my own projects, but I will be selling full keycap sets for $17.50 shipped USPS flatrate ($12.50+shipping international), $35.00 shipped parcel post for the full keyboard ($20.00+shipping international).

The spacebar and right shift key won't fit a Filco, I'm pretty sure everything else should.

Do the large keys fit? I think Filco uses a relatively standard stabilizer bar whereas Cherry keys use that thing that looks like two sliders mounted either side of the main switch.

I was being somewhat rhetorical there. Unless this is some kind of non-standard Cherry keyboard, the large keys are mounted differently to the way Costar mounts large keys on their stuff.

That's the same keyboard I used in the Anti-Otaku mod, first rev. (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:6924)  It was only $18 NIB when I did it but I dunno if it would be my first choice in donor boards now.  You still have the Rshift and Capslock problem (although I just dumped Rshift into the Capslock position for an extra "Shifty" keyboard).


True, but doubleshots are getting scarcer, the only models I see with them these days are MX8000s, MX8100s, and MY7000s. And most of those are priced at $50+.

If me being a noob to the boards doesn't exclude my participation, I would really love to get a set of keycaps or a full keyboard, whichever you would prefer to sell.

Preorders are gone. The rest of you will have to wait for the second batch when I sell the other six. That'll probably be in about two weeks, and will work the same way.

A lot of people posted, but people who followed instructions and PMd me got priority.

A preorder just filled up, who wants it?


I want doubleshots for my MX SPOS, since the lasered keys are so dim on this board, and there are no nubs on F and J.

Some guy bid it up pretty high. I'm still in the lead, and I upped my max bid a little, but I'm going to have to charge a little more for future orders. Don't worry, everyone who's already sent money won't have to pay any more.

Hey I see you got your Ricercar SPOS, isn't it like pure butter?  IMHO it's the best cherry brown board ever.   Except for the layout.

Post by: Phaedrus2129 on Fri, 03 September 2010, 08:47:18
I like it. :D

Biggest disappointment is the keycaps, they're very dim and unattractive looking, and the F and J keys have that weird curvature instead of nubs. I hope the double shots can remedy that. Oh, and one of the relegendable keycaps, the cap won't fit on the main key. Annoying. I might have to sand something.

After reading about Filco keys getting shiny, I think I'd like to order a set if they are still available. I'm getting the Filco Majestouch Tactile Touch NKRO  FKBN104M/EB tomorrow =)

I believe all the keys are compatible except the space bar + right shift key if I recall correctly.

It's a bummer Elitekeyboards doesn't sell the extra sets anymore.  Musta got tired of the whining.

Yeah, I know xD ,
a Shiny Double shot Cherry key looks MUCH better than a Shiny Filco key.

The double shots look great though, and feel nice too. Only complaint is lack of nubs on F and J. Oh, and keycap incompatibility between the layouts. Otherwise, great.

Quote from: lmnop;225360
Cherry MX switches are rated for 50 million strokes (about 20 years) but that doesn't mean they will last that long.

that they break faster than a Chinese motorcycle. it was a rebuttal. I thought your comment about the Deck LED was silly. Cherry MX switches break sometimes, people complain but they don't stop buying them.

The C key on my 3000 is either dirty or the infill is starting to wear; I haven't really had a chance to look it.  The V key is also starting to look the same way.  If you didn't guess, I do a lot of copying and pasting.

It will prove not to dip your keyboard upside down into a vat of Isopropyl for 5 minutes.


I'm interested on how it will become.
After I get a new set of keycaps, I will do that. Just dip one keycap though.
If the color looks good in my eyes, I will do that for all 104 keycaps. Looks fun!
Not to mention isopropyl is chilling.
Hm.
