Title: Key caps for non-mechanical Cherry keyboard?
Post by: suicidal_orange on Sat, 25 October 2014, 18:36:22
I've found myself here after attempting to convert my keyboard (an ancient Cherry Cymotion Linux) to DVORAK and finding that I can't, because the keys have slots on the back meaning they only fit straight on the row they started in.  Why anyone would do this is completely beyond me, but I'm over my disgust at the discovery.

Does anyone know of a supplier of keycaps for such a board?  I can only find them for mechanical keys so from what I can tell my options are stickers (which I fear will either fall off too easily or make a mess if/when I choose to remove them) or a new keyboard, which would cost a lot more than the free I was hoping this would cost.

Any help much appreciated!

Seruiously.  It's like people don't even check to see if it posted.

What an awesome intro to the forum  :-[

I've never had a problem with double posting anywhere so when I got a 502 "gateway error" I believed there was a problem - seems not!  There is no delete button so I've locked the duplicates, should I report them all or will someone tidy up?

I think they have a point kmiller, I wouldn't like someone to do this on any forum I regularly visit and I'm very embarrassed to have done it my first time here.  I wouldn't blame everyone if they ignore me in the hope I go away, it would be fully deserved.
