Spherical Keycaps for Cherry MX
« on: Sun, 06 February 2011, 16:24:55 »

I'm trying to find something similar in shape... spherical that fits cherry mx switches.

anyone have a set for sale or know where to get a board I can pull them from?

I can order the exact ones as in the picture.... the problem is they are only available in blank or with number keys and cost $1,60 per keycap :eek:

I also have a set of  Siginature Plastics ones (not for sale), they are sadly not as good. They attract dirt like nothing else. If you guys do setup an order for it, I suggest not doing it in white/beige. They have a more rough texture than their normal keycaps and due to the spherical shape the dirt and grime gets "rubbed" into them.

Hard to explain, but not nice.

Oh yeah, I also have a set of this keyboard's keycaps for sale. QWERTZ layout, but very vintage and double shot.

Do you have a full set of these? Blanks and numbers are the exact thing I am looking for.

I don't have a full set right now. The number keys are something like $1,70~1,80 each, the blank ones I think nearly $2,50.

A full set would easily come in at almost 200 dollars.
