Title: do Cherry MY keycaps fit MX switches?

do Cherry MY keycaps fit MX switches?

I see a lot of Cherry MY boards online for dirt cheap.  If I harvest some MY keycaps, will they fit on my MX switches? (I don't care if all the modifier keys don't fit.. just looking for alpha-numeric keys)

are old Cherry MY 7000 boards a good source for vintage keys?

thanks!

Yes.  IIRC, they're a little looser, but not enough that you would notice a difference.  A lot of members have harvested double-shots from MY 'boards to put on their MX ones.

They fit fine, I have MY doubleshots on my Ricercar SPOS right now.
