F and J cherry keys
« on: Thu, 30 September 2010, 13:16:52 »
Ok, so i've really kicked into gear modding my cherry/ergo4k but i have a question, the keys i got don't have the little indents or outdents, well guide things on the F and J keys, i've used these little things forever to know where my index fingers should go (guess it was cuz of junior high school typing class) so like where do i get these keys? or should i just put like 2 drops of krazy glue on top to make ghetto ones?
my keys are cherry browns i think from a g80-3000plus

Don't do anything to them!
The 'F' and 'J' keys are curved more than the other alphabetic keys. That is how you find the finger position. That is quite special.

I am sure that there are several people here who would want to trade their keys from a Compaq MX 11800 or MY keyboard for those keys.

yeah I like scooped F and J, but, scooped F and J plus nubs is win.  My wife has about fourteen thousand different pins and needles (she sews, tailors, quilts, etc) and I am quite sure she would allow me to find a matching pair that is perfect for this application.  The rest of you people have to find your own women from which to pilfer.

I just used my soldering iron to make some marks in my keys.
At last! A mechanical keyboard with Trackpoint of my own! Now with Hyper-Scroll! And also Ergo-Clear switches. Ohh... look... custom keys! :D
