Title: Does this Keyboard have Doubleshot Caps?
Post by: Anole on Mon, 06 June 2016, 19:12:21

I am looking for this layout, and the keycaps look to be doubleshot. Could somebody please verify this for me? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-MY-7000-Keyboard-With-Card-Reader-Corded-/361194490857?hash=item5418de8be9:g:oqkAAOSwk5FUwV3W

I think that the "L" in the model number means "lasered" but I am not a Cherry guy.

Looks like it's laser-etched.

Are you looking for 1800(1.5u) or 1867(1u) layout?

I have a few sets of the below layout (1867) if you are interested
Cherry Profile PBT dye-sublimated

JTK WoB caps and some from an OG cherry board for a little bit of extra compatibility (not really necessary). I also have a set of gateron blank pbt caps that cover the board.

Those Gateron's look great! I've also seen Cyrillic sets from them, but they seem to be only on TaoBao. Any other way to order them?
