Old Cherry Keyboards with Double-Shots
« on: Wed, 21 October 2015, 03:11:55 »
I want to buy an old cherry keyboard mainly for the white on black double-shots, preferably unused, there are many similar keyboards on ebay, I can spot the double-shots on some of them, just spotted one for 150euros for example, outside my budget

Is there specific keyboards that should be stalked for this purpose?

Checked your HAD right now, it's nice to see the icon'ed Tab keycap before the degradation, currently all the bottom tab icons are thinner than they should be, while the top one is same

I don't understand what you are talking about. Bottom Tab and Top Tab?

The legends on the Tab key can be either two arrows, or two arrows and the word "Tab". There are different legends for different language layouts. German layout has only arrows. ANSI layout has the word "Tab".

All the bottom/forward-tab icons degraded, the top/reverse-tab is perfect, yet the bottom one is grizzled/thinned

I contacted GMK about the issue, as I'm waiting on a Tab keycap to be produced, they said it's within their quality standards yet they would look into it

I may be interested; Muirium at DT just sold me a nice one with no bottom row, but I may be interested in get another one depending on price and shipping cost.

It's an issue with the icon-only mold/design, or whatever the terminology is, the "Tab" one is solid

The Tab key with legend looks more professional, don't you think?

It's a matter of preferences, I prefer icon only to icon+legend because that's how Azerty is. Meanwhile most of ANSI users are used to icon+legend.


ps: I don't like the "entrée" legend, I'd prefer icon only.

It is only me, or the ¨^ key looks like a mad face? and I always wanted to get enter keys with legends in French and German to combine them with my sets as a nice and cool complement.

I like them both, the icon-only one is simpler, I think the icon-only one should look good with alpha-coloring, much like a spacebar, on 60%'s with an Esc on top obviously

The legended one also looks good in a similar setup, so I'm considering changing the icon-only one I ordered to a legended one, only because the legended Tab is still in pristine condition, while the icon-only one is suffering

Not entirely sure how a wob set enters the equation, I guess I'm curious about the mash-up possibilities (like all double legended keys in wob, such as 1!, /? etc.), in any case, it would be great to have an og wob set around

I found OG Cherry to be better in general when compared with new GMK sets, it may related with molds in need of some maintenance, or worn off mold's components. WoB could be combined with the upcoming blue mods, or with Ivan's purple mods.

I love these little mad faces. I would replace one of my ANSI keys for one of these just for how cool they look.
