Title: Cherry profile BoW w/ center stemmed caps lock.
Post by: ithinkimkorean on Mon, 10 February 2014, 22:11:30

Is there a cherry keyboard with those keycaps that I can buy to harvest the caps?

I also need it to have 1.25x mods, long right shift, etc for poker.

There are not too many model that have that key in that colorway. 2500, 3181, 3190... none of them have 1.25 modifier, would have to mix match. You would be better off buying a new GMK full set so it's all matching and have everything you want. I am sure either myself or someone else will make a groupbuy for this at some point with smaller mods/nav set so it is more cheaper.

It's pretty expensive... but well here you go. Cherry G80-3181HPU (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-G80-3181HPU-PS-2-Wired-Keyboard-Model-MX3160-New-open-box-/291078966898?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item43c5a88e72). Has both fulltouch caps lock and 1.25 alt keys. This one should have clear MX.

Oh dang. I don't think I'm up for spending 200 just for those. Maybe i can deal with dcs being slightly different for now.

Haha. Considered using Cherry PBT lasered? At least the profile is same and the color match reasonable well. There is usually some cheaper G80-8113/8200/89** models with them on ebay.

I guess this looks pretty nice. Something like this, but white would be perfect.

Yeah, the older PS/2 models are more likely to have the older style 2tone beige colors.
