DAS key cap replacement
« on: Sun, 19 December 2010, 06:02:33 »
Does anyone know where to buy replacement key caps for the DAS professional :/

do they have the same compatibility with ducky and geekhack doubleshot keys ?

Das key profile is the same as Ducky and Filco, so both Ducky keys and geekhack double shots should fit. I've replaced my keys with doublr shots from a G81-1800 and that worked out great (front row and Rshift are from Ducky because those keys from the G81 didn't fit). If you're after Cherry double shots, check the Anti Otaku -thread.

My budget is pretty low. I was thinking once i get my ducky, i can use the pbt laser etched keys from it on the Das (assuming they fit).

It's a gift for my bro :} so i am checking around for some cheap second hand. He is an ex  professional gamer.


Anyway the reason i asked is because someone in the forum mentioned filco keys being too tight for the das ? but when i tried to clicky link it didn't work :/ so now i was left wondering.


@db_Iodine

By the way do you know which Das kbs i should avoid. I heard the older models had some issue with the controller; but i'm not sure which one specifically :/

A second-hand Das from ?? If you can get it locally, its pretty nice. PCHome is still a good alternative. Personally, I like those PBT keycaps more than the ds ones.
I rrrove brrracks.

I tried checking lowyat but the marketplace there was terrible.

Vrzone looks promising :/

Geekhack bleak since the shipping would kill me most likely.
