Cherry Low profile keycaps on taobao
« on: Thu, 07 January 2016, 09:29:13 »
Cherry MX3 low profile keycaps?

Someone mentioned that the low profile keycaps used on cherry MX3 (G80-3850) keyboards were sale on Taobao and that Taobao now ships internationally even without agents involved.

Of course I'm no good with searching chinese, could someone link me to the seller / item page for those keys?

Do you prefer only the Low profile keycaps of MX-BOARD 3.0
or
the same keycaps like the G80-3000's but using on MX-BOARD 3.0?

I just want the keycaps themselves. From what I've seen both the keycaps on 3000 and the ones on 3850 are of the same height profile wise, but the caps on 3850 has smaller top surface.

I want the low profile keycaps to put on another keyboard that I have however.

I do believe the 3850 caps lock stem spacing is different than any other board so keep that in mind.

Taobao agents sent photos of the item. The Keycaps themselves are just the old cherry caps with stem locations to fit the 3850 and not the actual keycaps that comes with INT/EU 3850. I also bought an 3850 itself, comes with cherry stabs with the stem of the caps lock being slight off center as mentioned. The keycaps makes a very subdued sound when bottoming out.

Keycaps are low profile but it's actually flat as far as elevation goes rather than sculpted. I'll upload some pictures when I get home later.
