Title: Modifiying Stepped Caps Lock Keys To Fit Cherry MX Keyboards
Post by: sixty on Sat, 12 February 2011, 15:01:53

Good job! If you ever wanna sell that beige non stepped key from the mystery kishy board... let me know!

In related news, I did the same mod on one of my blank POM sets and the stem kinda broke into many tiny pieces. No idea how that happened, even ripped out a part of the top, which is funny, considering POM should be more forgiving and softer than the the double shot ABS keys?

Thanks but I kinda like this set for it's oddball character.  

That looks very much like real Cherry Corp. or extremely well cloned! Got a pic from the bottom of the keys?

Very nice. Should hunt down that machine!

Might be the same guys who made the keys on my Talent board (http://keyboardporn.com/mx-switch/talent/). Different font on some keys, but molds look like yours. Even has the scoped F and J too.

Thanks for the info i was assuming there would be a cleaence problem. Now i have to get my hands on some cherry height caps to grab stems from and get working.
