Where can I buy these relegendables?
« on: Thu, 17 April 2014, 07:00:46 »
I just bought a Cherry RC128BM POS keyboard. And it came to me without the relegendable covers!

If anyone can tell me where to buy the covers, I'll be immensely grateful!

ps please note that these are flat, squarish relegendables. Totally not like those from a Cherry G80, which are not compatible. They look a bit like x-keys.

Cherry Corp. (damn their name) told me they don't make these covers anymore.

I forget where you are, so if that isn't viable place to buy from at least you know what you are looking for. Or perhaps some people have some old Tipros they have parted out and still have caps laying about you could get from them.

Depending on how many you need, I have a lot of charcoal keys with cover from a SkiData.

Did you read the OP? He said that those don't fit already.

Ebacho, this is a Cherry POS, so actually JaccoW's skidata will fit. But that's only for the entire relegendable (ie bottom and top).

What I am looking for now are only the relegendable covers, so that I don't have to pull up all these squarish flat keys and replace them with other relegendables. I remember at one time Ivan and AGMurdercore were talking about a retailer offering 250relegendable covers for $50, but Ivan can't find that site anymore and I can't find it either.

That's what I meant - the square clear tops from the skidata definitely won't fit on those rectangular caps.  I can't really help you with your problem but if you need a US proxy I'll be happy to do it for you.

I have about 100 similar relegendables (Cherry uniform profile), NIB. Shipping might be quite expensive though.
