Holy novelty!

Hi guys, can I know if these keycaps fit on my Filco Majestouch 2?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=13414583288&

Keycool keyboards looks like it is Cherry style, and I've seen pictures posted here before that Keycool uses Costar stabilizers - just wanna make sure.
Better safe than sorry right?

LOL... actually the keycaps are the same.... when you talk about keycap difference, it's either cherry mx, alps, buckling spring or etc.... so if you're buying cherry mx keycaps, of course it will fit your filco.... the difference in the KEYBOARD itself is the stabilizers.... the cherry style is easier to change and hassle free... if it's like the filco styled wire stabilizers, you must be careful, if not will end up like one member you can see just 1 page ago.... the white clear stabilizer clips.... are very say "delicate"....

Spacebar does not fit

shipping is cheaper from WASD unless you have stuff to get from TB

Aiya... forgot about the non-scale spacebar....

thanks kai for the correction

I wonder how will they send only few grams of plastic all the way from US to MY?
Throw into letter envelope and send?

i think can buy extra..... so that when you buy new keycaps, then no need to pry out the original ones.... plus, with constant prying, i think it will become loose eventually... so better get one set for each large keycap..........

Then taobao's seems more suitable, since it come in a pack of 10 IIRC.

Hmmm... so the row with Spacebar cannot be used. But will the other rows be affected as well?

Won't, all should fit nicely except the spacebar. The spacebar having the same dimension and size(6.25 units) but the spacing is using a odd standard which only found on Leopold 104 IIRC.

Hmmm so if I reuse my original Filco Spacebar, will it look weird?

Depend on the color tone, if different color tone sure look strange one...

Fixed the strange spacebar standard(now KBC compatible) and uneven spacing. Also now using Cherry Style stabiliser instead wire(Costar) style. All LEDs are the squared shape one.

Not really that fussy about color tones. Just wanna make sure if it can fit...

Like I and others said, all keys(but spacebar) from the sets should fit FILCO or other brands' keyboard nicely.

Have a look of it's outcome.

you don't say???

TKL is kinda suited for my situation now that I used pc instead of laptop and table are kinda cramped with 104 kb

This thread is full of temptation to go to the hell (of financing ofc)

Wow they do look good, I have yet to receive mine

Yes.

It cost about $2 to ship 10 plastic inserts and 5 stabilizer bars.

Keycool spacebars will not fit FILCOs. End of story.

i have make a announcement back few pages ago regarding to novelty keycaps, to tell members to provide me their address due to my primary and secondary backup HDD Failures, and lost all data.
