Hey guys just saw DS cherry board G81 and been thinking to give offer for it, here is the dilema, I already ordered rosewill 104 board and would not mind to have DS keycaps for it.
So here i will post the pic of the board and which keycaps will I need to make it complete.
i remember there was GB for people with cherry boards keycaps, it was the bottom row modifiers + space bar, but I know I will need the 0 on the numpad and maeby something more?
Just want to get rough idea of how many keycaps will I need to find and if its not worth it I'll just order the white on black from SP they have it available to be purchased + I think I'll like the Black DS with white legends for the Rosewill to match the white logo. Here is the pic of the G81 HUBUS

wow no reply?

You'll need a Moogle and if you want the numpad, a 2x 0 and a 2x +, and if it matters a lot to you a - in the correct profile.

Ok just to make sure, cause I'm confused a lil bit here, so this is what I need.
-Moogle kit
-2x 0
-2x +
How about page up, page down, ins, home, print screen, scroll lock pause. Will they fit on the rosewill in the same rows, or I will have to end up scatering them around just to make them fit in the proper row even though function wont = to whats printed on the key?
Does SP sells just keys you need, or just full sets? If I stand correct CHERRY G81-7000HUBUS-2 stands for doubleshots keycaps right?

Yes, those are what you'll need. The other keys you mentioned will fit. The Del, End, and PgDn will be a little taller than what you might be used to looking at being that they're actually R4 (the row profile of the top two [tallest] rows instead of R3 as they would be on a Rosewill, but it's really not bad at all. I have them like that on my board.
Someone else will have to help you with the Cherry product code deciphering.

cool thanks buddy, I do believe any Cherry board that starts with H stands for double shots

You would be better off getting Cherry G80-8113, or 8200 and grab cheap G81-8000 for the function, nav and ANSI enter and 1.5 \| if needed. That is the quickest path to a nice full Cherry doubleshot set. Forget those SP keys, when you can have the real thing all Cherry 100%.
