Title: GMK Dolch and Cherry mix
Post by: TaNaKa$_ on Sat, 09 November 2013, 05:57:12

Hi Guys,

apologies for my ignorance, I am mecha newbie here. But the mechanical keyboard virus has infected me  :D.

To my question. I plan to replace the keycaps from my Filco to a set of double shots. 
I have a Filco Majestouch 2 fullsize with german layout. The alphaset I rip it from an old cherry G80-3000HAD. For the remaining key, like modifier, shift, capslock und so on, I would order the GMK Dolch set from  Originative  (http://www.originativeco.com/collections/keysets-1/products/dolch (http://www.originativeco.com/collections/keysets-1/products/dolch)).

So that the base keys are from the old cherry and the rest from the dolch set.
But I am not sure whether the keys have the same height. Standard OEM-Profile keys are higher than cherry profile keys.

Can somebody help me? Or does somebody own the dolch set?

I would be very grateful for answers.

They will be the exact same hight. The keys you already have where produced in the very same machinery that made the dolch set.
