It will need a different screwdriver too(which I don't had ATM).

I will get the screw driver once I got the keyboard.

Can take a side-view of it?

thx for the picture.
seem like the bottom part is exactly same height while top is a little lower(probably won't affect much).

It isn't impossible to land your hand on one though, just that if it worth the effort.

Probably can't. Both(7G and Filco) are having different shape and size.

Blackwidow is R1,R2,R3 and R4.

It means that the bottom most row(nearest to you) is R1, and the next rows are R1, R2, R3, R4 and R4.

In case you confused. It is R1(near you), R1, R2, R3, R4, R4(furthest).

The "Esc" and "~`" rows are R4 height, the "Tab" row is R3 height, the "Caps Lock" row is R2 height and the "Shift" and "Ctrl" row is R1 height. It apply for the whole row.

BTW, even if they are called R1, R2 and so on. They still having different standard(in height/elevation especially) for different OEM and manufacturers. For example BWU's keycaps are taller compared to most other brands.

Added on March 1, 2012, 9:56 pmMost replacement keycaps can fit almost all brands perfectly, except that some will be either a little too low or too high(more than a little for Cherry/Noppoo).

The problem with Blackwidow is hard(near to impossible) to find suitable replacement for the "Ctrl" row.

The problem with SS7G on the other hand is harder(except those custom made for SS7G) to find the "Enter"/"Right Shift".

The keys should fit Blackwidow(a little lower than original height). The last row can't fit because the last row is using a odd layout which not much OEM go for, thus no ppl make replacement for it.

For SS, it is the having a rare(in term of what normally found on others) size for "Enter" or "Shift".

Cherry MX wise, China branded boards(noppoo, keycool, poker, flashget and many more, some are good but some are...) or Ducky 1008.

If not necessary Cherry MX, then should be Ducky 1008XM, which use alps switch.

Try contact/PM Storm88 to see who are the retailers that carry Ducky.

It is a keyboard come from the Cherry itself(sort of), problem?

Added on March 2, 2012, 12:09 amAnyone got the layout(with shop name) plan of LYP?

I rmb I bought one at 2nd/3rd floor, just that forget the shop name already, LOL...

Or simply save your hassle, go Taobao buy. It is dirt cheap and still widely available.

Though it may sound hopeless for a RM190 Cherry branded keyboard, I will still get it for:
1. The lul, LOL...
2. Still a Cherry branded keyboard, which mean PCB mounted.
3. The LOL flat keycaps
4. those in GH to be jelly(as so far G80-3800 only for Asia market).

RM190 and it fit four points, worth it already.

In case picture is needed, the one I bought from LYP look(color) similar to this.

Be it other cherry is cheap or what, something unobtainable and odd is always jelliable and seek after, true storeh.

ps at all: Don't forget your spoilaarr...

Most of Ducky models(all their G2 models, which translate to most of their porducts) are now USB NKRO.

Added on March 2, 2012, 9:49 pmFUUUUUUUUUUU. Corsair K60 cost only 80USD from newegg(US...).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16823816001

almost half of the price here...

BTW Clyclone,

Any sign of the DS keycaps? It had really being a long time since it shipped, hope nothing bad had happened...

according to what I had saw for all this while, I believe that it will be:
clear black translucent - ABS
ESC doubleshot (red) - ABS
Rainbow caps - highly possible to be PBT if it is dyed, else I bet ABS too

That guy basically just buy all things from Taobao and sell at 2X the price, cool storeh...

@lucidlts
yar...

Nope, the one you stated probably is ps2 extension wire, not AT connector. This then is AT to ps2. The fatter side is AT


Razer BWU can't use ps2 connection, so stealth version probably can't too. It is because Razer said that in order to use all their software, function and bling bling, they need to use USB and ps2 can't support them.

Inorder to achieve NKRO under ps2, the keyboard itself need to be equipped with lots of diodes.

China brands, should cost around RM200-250.

Added on March 3, 2012, 10:26 amTaobao agent probably the easier and cheaper way. It normally charge you around 5-10% commission and shipping(by air) from China cost around RM12/kg.

Cherry G80-3800(AKA Cherry MX K2.0). Can't really say it is China brand as it is Cherry(Germany) branded but made by OEM in China.
Not sure if it is good but it is certainly cheap(around RM200).

It is currently available in Taobao but Storm88 say that he may carry it to Malaysia market, so it is up to you if you want to wait for the advantage of having warranty(but IMO, it will not matter if got warranty or not as we are certainly will open it up and mod it, which also mean void of warranty...).

If you surf here and taobao often enough, you should had probably come across them too.
