Title: Cherry MX Board 3.0 - missing nipple on F?
Post by: nubnub on Fri, 09 January 2015, 06:54:03

My Cherry MX Board 3.0 (G80-3850LYBEU-2) arrived today. I noticed that the F keycap doesnt have a "nipple" - only the J and the numpad 5 keycaps do. Most product pictures seem to suggest that F should also have a nipple.

Does anyone know whether this has been a recent change? Otherwise I'd have to assume that they simply used a wrong keycap :(

Hi,

just recently I bought one cheap at ebay (ISO UK, ~half a year old). On its keycaps both F and J have the nipple.

Interesting - I've sent a mail to Cherry support now to clear this up. I hope they'll be able to just send me a replacement keycap.
