Title: Gateway 2000 not anykey programable doh'
Post by: lam47 on Mon, 05 January 2009, 03:37:39

Yeah so I thought I was getting the anykey programable model and I didnt.

So what do you think? Worth a clean up or straight in the bin :) its a harsh world.

I think it's worth a cleanup. Those are some of the better rubber dome boards imo. Could you also edify my curiosity by checking if the keycaps fit on Cherry MX? I know Cherry MY keycaps work on MX boards, I have about half the keycaps on my MX11800 from a semi-dead black MY8000 board.

you can always keep it as a spare keyboard, believe me you can never have enough of those.

Hey. They do fit MX switches yeah. Also it feels like there might be springs in the switches which is interesting.
Will try and get a better look :)
