Need help with keycaps
« on: Wed, 02 January 2013, 21:31:33 »
Hey guys just saw DS cherry board G81 and been thinking to give offer for it, here is the dilema, I already ordered rosewill 104 board and would not mind to have DS keycaps for it.

So here i will post the pic of the board and which keycaps will I need to make it complete.

i remember there was GB for people with cherry boards keycaps, it was the bottom row modifiers + space bar, but I know I will need the 0 on the numpad and maeby something more?

Just want to get rough idea of how many keycaps will I need to find and if its not worth it I'll just order the white on black from SP they have it available to be purchased + I think I'll like the Black DS with white legends for the Rosewill to match the white logo. Here is the pic of the G81 HUBUS

When you bottom out dong cap... is it going balls deep?

You'll need a Moogle and if you want the numpad, a 2x 0 and a 2x +, and if it matters a lot to you a - in the correct profile.

Ok just to make sure, cause I'm confused a lil bit here, so this is what I need.

-Moogle kit
-2x 0
-2x +

How about page up, page down, ins, home, print screen, scroll lock pause. Will they fit on the rosewill in the same rows, or I will have to end up scatering them around just to make them fit in the proper row even though function wont = to whats printed on the key?

Does SP sells just keys you need, or just full sets? If I stand correct CHERRY G81-7000HUBUS-2 stands for doubleshots keycaps right?

Yes, those are what you'll need. The other keys you mentioned will fit. The Del, End, and PgDn will be a little taller than what you might be used to looking at being that they're actually R4 (the row profile of the top two [tallest] rows instead of R3 as they would be on a Rosewill, but it's really not bad at all. I have them like that on my board.

Someone else will have to help you with the Cherry product code deciphering.

cool thanks buddy, I do believe any Cherry board that starts with H stands for double shots

You would be better off getting Cherry G80-8113, or 8200 and grab cheap G81-8000 for the function, nav and ANSI enter and 1.5 \| if needed. That is the quickest path to a nice full Cherry doubleshot set. Forget those SP keys, when you can have the real thing all Cherry 100%.
