In particular the double shots from G80-11908 to a Filco Majestouch 2.

Tnx in advance.

Any that are the same size will fit. You will find that many of them will not. If you are after a complete doubleshot set there are better options that will get you much closer. See this thread (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?23218-25-Used-Cherry-Doubleshots) for example.

I see. If you want Italian, the g80-11908HRMIT on ebay would be a very good start since Italian doubleshots are more uncommon. All of the single unit letters, numbers, puncuation, backspace, tab and arrows will fit correctly. If you have an ISO filco, you can also use the enter and the left shift. Nothing else will fit properly in its intended location.
I have one myself, it is a nice board too.
