Title: Cherry doubleshots universal set for sale
Post by: berserkfan on Wed, 12 March 2014, 10:02:07
Hi Ghers

I have put together a set of Cherry WoB doubleshots from several different keyboards.

I'm offering my set at 95 shipped anywhere.

Keycaps are in great condition but YMMV.

All relegendables are new and will come with brand new covers that I'm keeping in a separate baggie.

I actually have 3 numpads to choose from; one is totally new but lacks sublegends like Ins, Del. I still have a lot of other Cherry DS and don't know what to do with them, so if you want more 1x1 bottom row, or some relegendables, I can probably throw them in for free. I still have over 200 DS from different keyboards.

Since they all came from Cherry, I'm sorry but the space bar is also Cherry-stemmed aka won't actually fit an OEM. It's new though.

Not keen to break up the set because I've already sold customized layouts to other people and now just want to recuperate from massive expenditures on Cherry keyboards.

Make an offer. I'm looking for the following:
JIS layout Cherry MX keyboards (must have spacebar and stabilizer since these are unique)
Access-IS or Tipro Cherry MX keyboards

During your mix-and-match process, did you end up with a useable CTRL-WIN-ALT-Spacebar set you could spare/trade/sell?

I have a custom hardwire keyboard with all but those keycaps.

Thanks in advance,

Interested, can you please show a picture of the back of the keycaps, just want to see the thickness?

Thanks and GLWS

BTW, I got the grab bag of CCnG from TJ, but unfortunately there is no numberpad \ in it.  :(

These are cherry caps so they would be the same thickness as any other cherry doubleshot ABS caps you see on here. :D

Hi NeoX

Keycaps should all be thick. Including the ISO return key. I turned up a few and I also don't remember any thins. In fact I thought all Cherry DS was like that.

Bear in mind the relegendables are not doubleshots. They seem to be average - thinner than the Cherry winkeys (which are not ds but also thick), but thicker than Coolermaster's stuff.

Samwisekoi,

what are you looking for? I need more specific measurements than 'usable'. Of course they're all usable! I pulled them off 3 NIB keyboards, 1 NOS, 2 used ones.

My only problem is lack of spacebars for OEM fit.

I did have several black spacebars (not from original Cherry of course). Thanks to my disorganization I can't find them. I organize these things together in categories so I can find my colored Tai Hao spacebars, but the black ones have now vanished. Very frustrating.

reply to an inquiry:

Price already in the ad: $95USD shipping w tracking included to anywhere except the International Space Station.

This is a Universal Set because except for the spacebar, it should fit the vast majority of keyboards.

104 ANSI can fit. ISO can fit. Most other layouts also can - that's why you have stepped and normal Capslock keys, 1x1 row 1 modifiers, additional small 0 Ins key for some keyboards, additional small shift key for some keyboards.

Since I have plenty of DS left if you want something just ask. I'm just trying to sell most of my stuff in one shot.

Note that ONLY THE SPACEBAR CANNOT FIT non-Cherry keyboards. I am in caps because noobs often make mistakes.

are the bottom row modifiers doubleshot as well?

standard cherry. IE winkey and appskey are NOT DS, the rest are DS. This applies to all my Cherry row 1 for all my keyboards - so I have way more Cherry DS than this but it's all the same.

I wonder if you have some leftovers: I am interested in a full touch caps lock with centered stem, 1.25 windows key, and 1.5 control key. Please let me know if during your mix and match process you got them and you do not need them.

NP, will keep that in mind. I'm working out a deal with somebody who might buy up all my Cherry DS which would save me a whole load of time.

Thanks for your interest, and even if this doesn't work out, I'll remember you (since it's hard to forget God). I've got some Cherry grab bags coming in...

I am impressed! It is the first time someone got the latin meaning behind the name. Cool! It takes some agnostic reading to get it, which is not common at all.
