Title: Does this exist?

Does the following exist:

A black keyboard key cap, that can fit on a filco keyboard with cherry mx switches, that has a linux penguin symbol on it (same print type as the other keys of said keyboard), and that has the same shape as the windows key of said keyboard. Both the left and the right one.

Thanks.

Das sells them, and as far as I know, they should fit the Filco too.

Oh, super! Found it here: http://store.daskeyboard.com/Linux-Keycaps-Das-Keyboard-Users/dp/B003AM0XJI

Can anyone confirm that they work on Filco keyboards?

Um, does Das even ship to anywhere outside the US at all?

I'm almost certain that I have seen someone put a blank Das windows key on to a Filco, but I'll let someone who has attempted such a feat personally confirm for you.

Put it this way - both the Das and Filco are based on the same keyboard made by the same OEM. Without being able to show you an example off the top of my head, you can swap the keys.

Yep, I can also confirm they will fit perfectly. I have done the opposite - full set of blank Filco keys swapped on to a Das - so yes, both brands are fully interchangeable.
