Most of the keys should work fine, but you might have problems with some of the larger keys like Enter, Shift, etc.

The Filco keys will probably be a little taller, but yes, those will work.

It may be cheaper to harvest keys from some Cherry board though... the K1 is a G80-1800 after all.

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

I have a feeling he might be looking at the purple WASD keys.

There are no original Cherry G80 series WSAD keys besides on a special Chinese G80. Your best bet will be to go with the Filco keys. They will be a little less high than the original Cherry keys. Some guys on kbdmania have modded them before to be a perfect fit, but they work fine without that too.

Another thing you can do is look into getting cheap keys from a G80 and dye them to another color yourself. There is a very long article regarding this in our wiki.
