Filco and cherry keycap comparison
« on: Tue, 17 May 2011, 07:03:24 »
Hi, now that I have the filco tenkeyless, I wanted to swap the keys with the cherry g80-3000. These caps are lasered, thicker and of shorter height. It's all settled, only 'space' and 'caps lock' are annoying me as they have off-centered stabilizers. I still have to figure out what to do about them.

1) weight filco spacebar


2) weight cherry spacebar


3) height: cherry on the left, filco on the right


4) thickness: filco on top


5) off-centred: filco on top


6) cherry caps on filco board with removed spacebar


Accidentally posted this on the pointing devices side first...

Has anyone tried to built in some replacement stabilizer holders to fit the cherry spacebar onto the filco board?

Sure, if i had the money for this thing, I wouldn't even worry about the stabilizers not fitting I would just go and get a whole new set of keycaps instead... that would even save me 5 minutes!

Guess I have to keep thinking...

It's definitely a majestouch 2 tenkeyless brown - at least I ordered a 2nd generation and the box it came in told me so.

Found a new method, just have to see how it turns out...

1) took this art tool and caved out the cherry cap to house the stem



2) sculptured a new stem holder out of some playdough - with the help of a stabilizer

 

3) let it dry, glue it onto the cap and let it dry again

Have to do the same with caps lock.
