Hey I don't know what kinds of keyboards Cherry makes nowadays :p . Remember, I call it young if it's from the 90s :p . I was just wondering what a pure-branded competitor to this keyboard would cost. What models best qualify for that I don't know :p .

Retail market market is pretty much a lost cause even if you moved your production to the Czech Republic ;)

Quick question... I have this keyboard, and I want to put custom keycaps on. I know that I need Cherry stems, but what do I do about the space bar or other stab keys? I've never done this before, and I know that this board has weird stabilizers. Does that matter? Would a Cherry 6.25x unit space bar fit onto this board? Or is there something I need to do special for it?

Bottom row isn't goint to be your problem. That looks pretty standard. But check out the Enter key and the /| key. Good luck finding those in a <100€ custom keycap set.

What do you mean? The cheapest ISO Tenkeyless with real Cherry switches in Europe?
I think that's the Ozone Strike Battle or Corsair K65, depending on where you look.

Or a tenkeyless OEMd by Cherry? (doesn't exist I believe)

Wodan:
Nice, interesting. Cool to have a choice of switches now, even though it's only Kailh. While the keycaps don't look good, they still beat the horrid VicTsing ones. How much did you pay total?
Hi! sorry for the bump, but can you tell me if its possible to change the switches without desoldering them?

regards,
