10 Blank Keycaps (blue) - Cherry? $3.50 BIN
« on: Wed, 17 March 2010, 15:54:13 »
I came across this auction for 10 blue blank keycaps:
http://cgi.ebay.com/KEYBOARD-TYPE-SWITCH-PUSH-BUTTONS-Qty-10_W0QQitemZ370212888590


No idea what board they're from, but I'm sure that someone here does.

Maybe.  The stems  look too big for a Cherry MX switch.  They fit the switch but when you push down nothing happens.


If it doesn't fit or work, you MAKE it! A little duck tape, some glue, a screw driver, and a file.

Relisted.
Make sure you tell us when they arrive how well they fit on Cherry switches!

Two sayings I once knew in Latin:
  • There's no problem so great it can't be solved with duct tape and needle nose pliers.
  • Don't force it; get a bigger hammer.

I got some of these in the mail yesterday. They don't fit Cherry switches, the stem is too wide.

Then by all means cut the keytop to fit the stem.
