help with steelseries 6gv2
« on: Fri, 08 February 2013, 11:52:48 »
I need help finding keys that will replace the oversized enter, is there anywhere that sells just that one blank key cap? or is there a method of replacing it with two keys I can use on wasd keyboards.com?

I believe feng has a couple sets and I've seen some on taobao, although they've always been parts of a 104/107 set.

WASD doesn't have anything that fits the funky Enter key or replaces both as the upper stabilizer is proprietary to SS.

You can use regular ANSI 2.25 enter and make a dummy 1.5 key above to fill the space. It's probably the easiest way to solve the problem unless you want one of those full matching sets like these. Or if you want a doubleshots set there are some older keyboards like Laser that are compatible if you are up for some hunting.

so a regular ansi enter key and then i can just add a dumby blank 1.5 key?

so this for enter? - http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/row-1-size-1x2-25-cherry-mx-keycap.html

I actually just pulled the keys out and it loooks like it would work, but theres a long post that goes into the space above the enter key, if i was to put another key cap in it wouldn't be the right height >< i have no idea why steelseries would make a enter key like this

Right, basically it would involve cutting out the normal stem on the 1.5 key and making a similar post type solution to affix it in place. I remember someone did it before, but we lost a lot of pictures and content some months back and I can't seem to find it now.

I could probably get it to work but meh, i don't understand why they couldn't just go with the standard design. I like this keyboard but its like a hastle to find the key cap now, and i dislike where the \ key is.

If you contact SteelSeries support, they should be able to get you a new one direct.
