will these keycaps fit on my filco?
« on: Tue, 04 January 2011, 13:28:41 »
hello there, I just noticed that DuckyKeyboard on ebay started carrying the PBT keycap set:

since the duckys use the proxy switches for the longer keys, only those won't fit on my Filco right? I've taken my filco apart and it uses those metal shafts for keys like shift and space.

thanks for answering my question

Take a look at the Cherry MX Key Pulling and Swapping Guide.  Should fit fine.


wow great guide thanks a ton, looks like i will have to

 "wiggle the white stabilizer part out of the old key (fingers if possible, gently with needle nose pliers otherwise) and then reinsert in the same orientation into the replacement key. You've done it correctly if the longer part is facing the rear of the keyboard when putting the spacebar back on."

i've tried that before and it was awfully difficult to pyll those little white parts out of the keycaps... damn
