Hey guys, long time lurker here, decided to finally register.
Anyways, I got a Ducky DK1008L with blue cherry mx switches I bought some time around 2011 from a taiwanese website using google translate and whatnot. Being used to ISO layout I figured it would be a good idea to get the big-ass enter (I was young and stupid, ok?!). Turns out this big-ass enter thing kind of sucks. Picture of the thing:
Yes, it really is that ugly. Understandably, I would like to change to other keycaps with normal ANSI layout. Underneath the enter key cap it looks like normal ANSI keyboard. That's right, when you press the enter key you actually depress two delightful blue switches plus the cherry stabilizers. Contrary to belief this doesn't cause twice the pleasure of a single switch click. I'm pretty sure though that normal ANSI keycaps would fit fine here, although I guess I would have to do something nifty to make the \ key actually register \ and not return.
My bigger concern is the right shift. It is short because of the added \ key, and I see no way of getting a long shift with stabilizers there.
I should probably just buy a new keyboard, right? Or maybe I should just stop fooling myself and admit that nothing will surpass my model m anyway and call it the end game
