Title: Pulled Cherry Double Shots but need a few keys
Post by: 3one5 on Fri, 18 March 2011, 09:09:47
I pulled some double shot keys off of a Cherry G81-7000HPBUS-2/02 and put them on my RK-9000.  However, there are a few of the keys that wouldn't fit.  How do I go about finding replacements for these keys.  

Examples of what I need are
Right Shift
Caps Lock
Entire bottom row (ctrl, win, alt, space, etc)
10-Key 0
10-Key

There is a moogle patch kit (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=14698) at the group buy section.

Cool, thanks for the link.

Honestly I didn't think the keys would make much of a difference but they definitely do.  Changed the feel and sound.

I think that patch kit is going to look and feel pretty "patchy".


That's no good.  Maybe I should start ordering boards with the keycaps that I want up front :).  Soooo, which boards out there come with double shot PBT keys?  I'm saying PBT because I believe I've seen that here somewhere and saw PBT on the bottom of the Cherry Spacebar.

none, PBT 2 shots can't be done. Either look for those keys ripster posted in the anti otaku mod, or lasered PBTs.

Dye sub PBT's are available too but they are hard to find.

If you want doubleshots there are no boards available to end-consumers .
I think access-is are the only ones left still capable of (or maybe willing to) delivering a board with doubleshots,
problem is that they don't sell just one board .

Doubleshots are pretty much a thing of the past,
from back when things were made to last beyond the warranty expiration-date..

3one5 - I have a G80-8113HRBUS keyboard which I have taken some of the keycaps off of, but it has these double shots you are looking for,  I'll send you a PM.

Some of those keys are available from other Cherry Corp models, see the Anti-Otaku Mod for details (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:6924).  Also includes sound samples of before/after.

Yep, the typeface and keycap feel are going to be different. They're going to stick out.
