Title: which Dolch keyboard has doubleshots keycaps?
Post by: nntnam on Fri, 18 May 2012, 13:13:15

I saw may dolch computers are being sold on ebay, their keyboards look good, but I'm not sure the keycaps doubleshots or not. Is there any way to know which dolch keyboard will have DS keycaps?

Atm, I jus only know PAC64 will probably have DS keycaps, how about the PAC65, 60?

Looks like all of them on ebay right now are the ones you are looking for. 65,64, and 60 can all have doubleshots. It is pretty easy to tell since the ones you don't want are scissor/flat switches.

Specific one you were looking at?

Actually I just want the MX keycaps. How about the PAC486? It is the cheapest one over there :p

Anyone know about the PAC486 keyboard? Do they all have DS keycaps? I saw sixty's topic about the 486, but I'm still not sure because it's L-PAC (light version). It may be different from normal version?!

Is there a picture?

The Dolch 486 is new to me. I saw one on eBay that has doubleshots.

If the layout is not like a G80-1800, then it is not doubleshots. "Big-ass" (backwards-L) Enter key, then it is Cherry MX Blue switches but pad-printed key caps. If there is a trackpoint inside the keyboard, or a trackpad, then it is not doubleshots, but scissor switch.

Thanks. Your comment makes everything clear. :first:
