No matter if doubleshot or not. I fact I need only the spacebar and some modifiers. But they should have the same profile as original Cherries do and shoulb ANSI. Tenkeyless is fine. ABS is fine.

Talk to N8N. I think he has some spares kicking around from a G81.

What type of modifier and spacebar size? Would 11900 style work?

Not really. I need the normal ones. In fact the other keys are from a keyboard with that design (Raptor K1). BTW I plan to mod that Raptor to Chery Bruises.

Yeah, I'm looking for a set of ANSI doubleshots, too. I'm willing to wait for a cheap eBay source (e.g. a retired POS board).

I actually have a retired G80-8200HUBUS. Super clean, but a little shiny. If I decide to sell it or part out, it'll go up in classifieds and I'll let you guys know.

Nice!

I have a set of black ISO doubleshots already. I was thinking I might like to get a set of white (ANSI or ISO, doesn't matter) doubleshots and do a piano keyboard pattern on my KBC Poker.

I want some black ANSI doubleshots for the Enter and \| keys, because the Poker keycaps just don't look quite right next to the Cherry doubleshots. It's not bad, but the keycaps stick up a little too high, and the font on the Enter isn't quite right. The \| is hard to notice.

I have exactly the same problem. Whatever, I've already bought ROUND THREE language kits and will have to wait till ROUND FOUR till I get the Standard Kits.

I actually have a set of G80 blank ABS black keycaps that I would like to get rid of.
I didn't know that they didn't fit the Filco 100%.

Got for around USD$30 and would like to clear it for USD$20.

Any takers?

What exactly doesn't fit 100%?

The Capslock key for the G80 set is off centered

OK, thread closed. I've settled down with what I have and I'm waiting for the SP Round Four. The incompatibilities between the Cherries and my PLU are to heavy, I would have to mdd many too many keys.
