Title: Does the cherry MY 7000 have doubleshot keys?
Post by: skaz on Sat, 09 April 2011, 16:24:38

Hello,

I'm pretty new to the mechanical keyboard world.  I was curious if the cherry keyboard model MY 7000 has doubleshot keys.  Thanks for your help.

Article number: G81-7000LPBUS/12

That one doesn't - lasered keys. You'd have to look out for a HPBUS.

Cool , thanks.  Was thinking about getting some white/grey Doubleshots for my leopold.  

Do all mechanical keyboard keys fit all keyboards with mechanical switches?  cherry mx specifically.

No, different brands of switches have different stems .
