My keys arrived today. Thanks!

Now to check them out

I just got an invoice that seems a little confusing to me. I've paid but it seems to be asking for payment.

It has a line saying

"Invoice #XXXX for gbohn (Please pay now or I clear your order!)"

and also shows that I'm paid up. Lines later in the same message show

"Amount Due | | | | | 0.00 ...

The Wiki for Round 3 shows the keys like Backspace, Tab, Shifts, and enter having only text. (see http://deskthority.net/w/images/a/ad ...

> you have the chance to order anything which is in the pricelist!

This is probably a silly question. But, to be clear, does that mean this your last chance to order any 'remaining' items (as in the past), or that you can now order any item, including items that were previously listed as 'Sold out ...

> But please don't forget to pay for it.

I'm tryin'

I just got another invoice this morning (for the second set of additional stuff I added), but I believe I already paid this via paypal on 08/15/12.

I just sent a PM to megnin asking if there was some sort of problem...

'Landru, guide us'... err.. keyboard Oracle, I need your guidance.

I modified my daskeyboard Professional S (Cherry MX Blue) keyboard by replacing the original key caps with Cherry Double-shot key-caps harvested from the bodies of sacrificed Cherry POS keyboards.

And there was much rejoicing ...

Press it very slowly. If you feel a little "scratch", that's the tactility of browns :p

You're right.

I did type on it for a minute or two before I took off the keycaps, and it seemed o.k. to type on.

But, It's a lot more subtle than I was expecting.

I have a keyboard with a set of Cherry ...

> They could be worn out over time.

They shouldn't be worn out from use. This was sold as never having been used (and at least appeared to be 'New-In-Box').

I guess the feel could just be more subtle than I'm expecting. As far as I can tell, this was made in 2006.

Thanks.

Hi;

I recently got a 'new-old-stock' Cherry G80-HR8113HRDUS-2 keyboard. I used it to get some Cherry DS keycaps.

I checked the feel of the keyboard before removing the keycaps. When I removed the keycaps, they appeared to me to be Cherry MX 'browns'.

See the attached picture. But I was under ...

> only those are off center bottom row and not ever doubleshots either.

Yes, I learned that the hard way. I bought a used G81-8000HPBUS-2 thinking it was almost perfect for what I had planned.

I then discovered that the Bottom row (in this area) wouldn't fit my MX keyboard and also wasn't double ...

Does anyone know if the bottom row of key caps (Ctrl-Windows-Alt etc.) on a Cherry G80-8200HPDUS-2 keyboard would be compatible with a das keyboard (or Filco) style keyboard?

That is, are the MX stems mounted in the Center, or off-Center?

I was thinking about trying to get one and use the ...

I actually use a paper clip, bent with a small hook on the end, to reach in, hook the wire, gently pull it to the side and lift the cap up.

Thanks.

To replace the key, do you just do the reverse? (With the white holders in the new keycap, slide the one side on the bar and then use the tool to ...

Here's mine. It's a Professional S (Brown switches). Engraved WASD keycaps.

I was wondering how hard you found it to remove and replace the key caps with sabilizer bars underneath. Were you able ...

Thanks. I managed to see some GeeklHack Key cap articles using the Internet Wayback machine, but many parts and photos were missing from the ...

Hi;

I had a quick question. I was thinking of ordering some of the Noir/Standard or Round 3/TKL/Black keycaps to replace some or all of the keys on my 'das keyboard' Professional S.

Can anyone tell me if these key caps are the same 'height' as the ones I have now?

I ask just to make sure ...

Hi;

I recently got a 'das keyboard Professional S' keyboard. Within about a week I saw that some of the keycaps white lettering has already become 'discolored' or stained and is looking grey. (This comes with white lettering on black key caps. As best as I can tell, these are laser etched and ...
