Title: Will these fit on my Das Professional S Silent?
Post by: Exoverture on Wed, 16 February 2011, 00:55:20

Hello guys, first post here. Long time lurker, first time register/post :P

I was just wondering... I wanted some nice new keycaps, was thinking of getting a Filco but that's nearly impossible in Canada, so I got a Das (still wanting that white Filco tenkeyless... :O) I have a Das Professional S Silent model, brown switches in them.

Will these fit on my Das well? Not too odd in shape comparatively to the other keycaps, etc.

I know Das themselves sell a WASD + escape key replacement, but I don't like the color of it (green), and it is also pricier.

Thanks!

EDIT: if anyone knows a great place to replace all my Das keys with nicer ones (double shot perhaps?) when they wear off more, I'd be happy to take a look.

Those keys you listed will fit just fine. The Das has the same key profile as the Filco.

You should check ripsters anti-otaku mod (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:6924) for more info on replacing those original keys with nice thick cherry double shots. Those Cherry double shots are one of the best feeling keys out there.
