Question on mixing keys.
« on: Wed, 11 February 2015, 07:09:43 »
In order to fill out my keyboard with all the keys I need I have to pull some keys off another keyboard.

Would the profile/color be off if I mixed some keys from a desko with a G81-7000

All I would take off from the 7000 would be the short shift, Numpad 1u + and 0 key.

Hoping the color difference won't be that huge. Maybe retro bright the crap out of the Desko set?

Pictures for refrence:

90339-0

90341-1

Profile won't be different. Will work fine.

The materials might be different though and that always throws me too. But you're probably not as picky as I am lol.

You wouldn't know on top of your head of a donor board that would have the same materials?

Desko is already kind of weird since i think it mixes PBT and ABS

Desko sets and Cherry sets are the exact same keys for the doubleshots. Color is a different story. Some sets may be 100% color match, it just depends. Cherry used a LOT of different tones of white/beige. Mixing sets in that color family is the most frustrating to me since minor variations in tones look worse in my eyes than things that are distinctively different.
