Help getting white Cherry keycaps
« on: Wed, 11 September 2013, 14:31:13 »
Modified my Razer Tournament with Cherry G81-1800 whites.
I need the modifiers keys, hopefully another Cherry board/keycaps, cause I love the low travel of them, and to match the ones I have.
Any help appreciated.
P.S. Some of the black keycaps are from another set.

35050-0

I know I can get a full keyset from SP like the one below (but I rather buy another keyboard for the same price).

35052-1

Something like this 7000 will get you most of the way there. You will still be short a 2.75 shift and the 1.5 mods. Finding lasered white PBT 1.5s is going to be a bit more challenging. Modding the stepped caps lock and spacebar stems will be necessary though. Be warned the white G81 often have the stab clips built into the keycaps, but seeing how you are going to be using costar type stabs you can make it work if it turns out to be so.

OK, thanks, gotta think about it, thinking of getting a KeyCool 87 in white (I wish the case was black).
But I just ordered, 5 minutes ago, a QFR with browns from NewEgg (last day to get the $15 gift card for a final price of $55 with free ship).
so I have to see if that will be my daily driver (instead of my current Razer Tour - blues).
Would your same recommendation apply to a QFR?

No there is better G80 with 1.25 mods to get for a QFR. A G80-8200LUBUS-0 for example would get you complete in one go with what you already have if you didn't mind relegendables on the F row.

Wow, great!
I don't mind the relegendables, cause I already have the regular F row from the G80-1800.
Now on the search!
Thanks!
