These are fully compatible with Filcos right?

I would like one set. International please

In for one set of keycaps.

The spacebar and right shift key won't fit a Filco, I'm pretty sure everything else should.

Do the large keys fit? I think Filco uses a relatively standard stabilizer bar whereas Cherry keys use that thing that looks like two sliders mounted either side of the main switch.

I'm not sure, I don't have a Diatec board to compare to right now. :/

I love it when a plan comes together.

I was being somewhat rhetorical there. Unless this is some kind of non-standard Cherry keyboard, the large keys are mounted differently to the way Costar mounts large keys on their stuff.

That's the same keyboard I used in the Anti-Otaku mod, first rev. It was only $18 NIB when I did it but I dunno if it would be my first choice in donor boards now. You still have the Rshift and Capslock problem (although I just dumped Rshift into the Capslock position for an extra "Shifty" keyboard).

True, but doubleshots are getting scarcer, the only models I see with them these days are MX8000s, MX8100s, and MY7000s. And most of those are priced at $50+.

didjamatic · « **Reply #10 on:** Wed, 01 September 2010, 19:24:05 »

I'd take at least 2 sets

BigDeuce · « **Reply #11 on:** Wed, 01 September 2010, 20:08:10 »

If me being a noob to the boards doesn't exclude my participation, I would really love to get a set of keycaps or a full keyboard, whichever you would prefer to sell.

ricercar · « **Reply #12 on:** Thu, 02 September 2010, 01:57:42 »

NB: The numpad zero (as a square instead of rectangle) may be a problem with some boards.

I'm in for a set. I'll be sending PM in about 5 minutes.

Thran · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 02 September 2010, 02:51:02 »

In for one set of key caps for sure.

Soarer · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 02 September 2010, 03:51:10 »

Reserve 2+ sets of caps for me please!

vhaarr · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 02 September 2010, 07:48:25 »

2 sets for me please, I posted in the other thread first

Phaedrus2129 · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 02 September 2010, 08:26:07 »

Preorders are gone. The rest of you will have to wait for the second batch when I sell the other six. That'll probably be in about two weeks, and will work the same way.

A lot of people posted, but people who followed instructions and PMd me got priority.

Phaedrus2129 · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 02 September 2010, 16:11:55 »

One set available for preorder. Would trade one set for a set of 15+ black cherry relegendable keycaps.

Zerius · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 02 September 2010, 16:13:25 »

in for one set =)

elbowglue · « **Reply #19 on:** Thu, 02 September 2010, 18:51:38 »

Nice call phaedrus on this purchase. So far I'm satisfied with single shots on my filco.

Phaedrus2129 · « **Reply #20 on:** Thu, 02 September 2010, 19:20:19 »

A preorder just filled up, who wants it?

I want doubleshots for my MX SPOS, since the lasered keys are so dim on this board, and there are no nubs on F and J.

Phaedrus2129 · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 03 September 2010, 08:15:03 »

Phaedrus2129 · « **Reply #22 on:** Fri, 03 September 2010, 08:18:22 »

Some guy bid it up pretty high. I'm still in the lead, and I upped my max bid a little, but I'm going to have to charge a little more for future orders. Don't worry, everyone who's already sent money won't have to pay any more.

elbowglue · « **Reply #23 on:** Fri, 03 September 2010, 08:45:40 »

Hey I see you got your Ricercar SPOS, isn't it like pure butter? IMHO it's the best cherry brown board ever. Except for the layout.

Phaedrus2129 · « **Reply #24 on:** Fri, 03 September 2010, 08:47:18 »

I like it.

Biggest disappointment is the keycaps, they're very dim and unattractive looking, and the F and J keys have that weird curvature instead of nubs. I hope the double shots can remedy that. Oh, and one of the relegendable keycaps, the cap won't fit on the main key. Annoying. I might have to sand something.

Kira · « **Reply #25 on:** Fri, 03 September 2010, 17:17:09 »

After reading about Filco keys getting shiny, I think I'd like to order a set if they are still available. I'm getting the Filco Majestouch Tactile Touch NKRO FKBN104M/EB tomorrow =)

I believe all the keys are compatible except the space bar + right shift key if I recall correctly.

Doubleshots get shiny too ya know. But they stay pretty.

It's a bummer Elitekeyboards doesn't sell the extra sets anymore. Musta got tired of the whining.

Yeah, I know xD ,
a Shiny Double shot Cherry key looks MUCH better than a Shiny Filco key.

Phaedrus2129 · « **Reply #27 on:** Sat, 11 September 2010, 00:15:14 »

Guess what I just dragged in off the porch?

A giant box full of thirteen G81-7000HPBUS-2/02 keyboards with beautiful doubleshots, that's what.

I have family over this weekend so I won't be able to ship for a couple days, but I'll let you know when I can.

MY switches are just as unpleasant to type on as I remember. Uuuhgggghghgdhafdl;kjaslgdkasjfs

The double shots look great though, and feel nice too. Only complaint is lack of nubs on F and J. Oh, and keycap incompatibility between the layouts. Otherwise, great.

Parak · « **Reply #30 on:** Sat, 11 September 2010, 00:39:41 »

Ooh. Hopefully I manage to get in on the second batch - need some spares for dying.

are they scooped?

Phaedrus2129 · « **Reply #32 on:** Sat, 11 September 2010, 00:45:09 »

What do you mean? F and J having more curvature than the other keys, like the SPOS? No. They're the same as the other keys.

like the 3600? borrowed a picture from Chao.

from the G80 reviews I have read people seem to like them because your fingers fall into place.

Phaedrus2129 · « **Reply #35 on:** Sat, 11 September 2010, 00:57:09 »

Yup.

Except these are kind of shiny. These are used, obviously. I hope no one thinks I got these NIB, I would have paid a lot more if I did.

ironman31 · « **Reply #36 on:** Sat, 11 September 2010, 09:28:28 »

I'm excited.

I think I got pretty lucky with a purchase of a lot of 2 g80-11900 which were practically new for 40 usd.

Phaedrus2129 · « **Reply #37 on:** Wed, 22 September 2010, 10:02:13 »

Leaving to ship these now. Sorry for the delays, but my mother had to go to the hospital, had to help my sister unpack in her new apartment, my grandmother came over to visit, and I had a couple inconvenient exams. But I'm shipping them out now. As soon as this cat gets out of my lap.

the first row on the Cherry MY-7000 will fit but they will be too small.

This, also the right shift is smaller. Everything else should be a match though.

You could finish the rest from an old POS 'board from eBay. If you're patient, you can find them fairly cheaply.

You would figure, being a dentist and all, that SKCheng could have fixed those gaps. I know where I'm not going for dental work now.

@lmnop

I was afraid of that :[

Oh well laser etched pom it is. I'll bet the switches die before the key caps (probly). I'll worry about it then :x

I like your new attitude but I hope I didn't imply when I said

Quote from: lmnop;225360

Cherry MX switches are rated for 50 million strokes (about 20 years) but that doesn't mean they will last that long.

that they break faster than a Chinese motorcycle. it was a rebuttal. I thought your comment about the Deck LED was silly. Cherry MX switches break sometimes, people complain but they don't stop buying them.

itlnstln · « **Reply #48 on:** Wed, 22 September 2010, 11:39:14 »

The C key on my 3000 is either dirty or the infill is starting to wear; I haven't really had a chance to look it. The V key is also starting to look the same way. If you didn't guess, I do a lot of copying and pasting.

Wait until you see what Isopropyl does to Filco keys.

I tested that just now and... Wow, I'm amazed.
Now I have a reason to buy a new set of keycaps.
