Title: Das II vs. Das III keycaps
Post by: litster on Tue, 19 April 2011, 20:08:58

I have a Das III (looks just like the current Das S but with just one USB connector) and 2 Das II (look just like the Cherry brand 104 keyboard).  I pulled their keys out and I think the III's keycaps are in different sizes comparing to the IIs (same letter, row etc).

I just ordered some 47 Filco and 28 KBC cherry keycaps that are supposed to fit Ducky and Filco boards.  Will these keycaps fit the III or II?  Or neither?

Thanks.

Will do.  It will be 3 weeks from now before I receive the caps from China.

Recieved my used Filco tenkeyless today.  I pulled a few keys off of it and they are the same sizes as the Das III as you mentioned, ripster.  But they are taller than the Das II's keys (same row).  So the caps I am getting from taoboa.com will not fit the two Das IIs that I have.  I wonder what keycaps would fit the Das II and if they are even available.

Everything that fits a G80-3000 would work, as well as most keys from other G80s.
