cherry with backslash next to enter key for about a hundred

[chimborazo]

i need to know what my options are if i wanted to to get a new board made by cherry for about a hundred, that has the backslash next to the enter key. the g803000 lqceu or similar number to that effect - that is in the wiki, and for whhich a page has not been created, does not seem to be available., since it comes with blues. and a point of sale board, is too bulky and besides, it costs somewhere in the three hundred range. so no. i'll pass.

what are my options.

[chimborazo]

forgot to add that i don't want to map anything, i want the inverted l shaped enter key. if i were to map it, the backslash would be reduced (sorry about that word now, since it seemed to create friction last time it was used) to a too-easy-to-hit-the-enter-key-by-mistake keycap which it would defeat the purpose of it in the first place.

....... i want the inverted l shaped enter key. ......

Inverted L shape enter? That's a big-ass enter.
Or rather a 180 degrees rotated L shape enter? That's ISO.

Which language layout do you need?

With "backslash next to enter" you mean above enter, right?

[chimborazo]

hello kurk

i meant the iso layout , but it seems am out of luck. for example, the celeritas in u.s. is not available in that layout. look at this image posted recently here http://deskthority.net/resources/image/6250 and i was just browsing amazon and i came upon this http://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Gaming ... B004MYAEDS which has the backslash in an awkward position

[chimborazo]

perhaps i should map the celeritas? or get an o-ring and put it in the cherry g80lsceu

then the question would be if an oring would ameliorate the bump in the blues

damorgue posted this image awhile back http://i.imgur.com/px87D.jpg and that's the layout i need , i have one just like that, just not new

[chimborazo]

and as much as i like the ol' sun layoout on the pfu, it doesn't make any sense

cherry on the other hand, got it right.

this guy remapped it beautifully, and yet, as much as fujitsu tried tirelessly to put their best in the final product i personally think they could have done better than that ,

[IvanIvanovich]

Just get any ISO G80 and use US keymap. Done.

[chimborazo]

hehe. that's to the point. finito.

but there are not as many options for that layout here though. maybe i didn't look hard enough. there was one with browns and the other with blues and that's about it. they were over a hundred. not by much. ~ 120. i wonder about the keycaps. or i can always wait for your commitment to get keycaps from alemania.

For what it's worth, they are programmable, along with a couple of other Cherry boards. I can see why you wouldn't want to have some remapping or software running in the background, but these remappings are stored on the keyboard. You do it once, then move the key caps of those keys and you are done, you have a permanent keyboard with the layout you wanted.

Is the problem that yours isn't new? I have two which I cleaned and because they are made from PBT, you can't see any wear whatsoever and I could probably not distinguish it from a new one.

[chimborazo]

mi amigo demorgue, but that board does not require the remapping. the physical layout is already there.

the issue stems from the ansi layout. or at least in my case, where the backslash and enter keys meet, which deem functional my working needs. ansi would be impractical. any further modification would be a nitpicky impertinent behavior on my part, which is just an eccentricity that serves no practical good.

in that sense lysol is right. only a g80 is needed. wrong in that a us key map must be selected, for none of my systems run a non us key map.

a board w/ ansi layout is not convenient in my case, functional yes, not convenient, since is prone to register a mistake had the backslash happens to be situated by the left of the enter key. and it becomes a nuissance to extend a pinky all the way up just to reach the intended end.

pfu for example comes in different flavors. i was referring to only one.

to me it doesn't make a difference, i would trade a flashy but unreliable corvette any time of the day- for an all time classical chevelle.

and to all those fast and furious cherry bashers, if you don't know latex you are just a salaried monkey disguised in the human race. so shhh.

[IvanIvanovich]

Here you go, a G80-8113HRBUS with doubleshots for $45, a good deal.

[chimborazo]

nice find. lysol is a bot. thanks.

i have one like it, last digits lcrus w/ clears! i bet my twelve consecutive desthority awards that daniel promised, that the aforementioned http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-Programm ... 35c3745cd6 which you had the affability to present here that comes with blacks! i don't like blacks.

[IvanIvanovich]

They have browns.

[chimborazo]

They have browns.

i couldn't reply. had to do something else. but i left the window opened, with a few tabs along w/ it. thank you again.

i took a snapshot of the wiki article which says otherwise, and no eisenhower, they are not browns, this is according to the wiki of course, but since you said they were browns, i thought about posting it. furthermore, i haven't had the chance to look at the history diff of the article in question http://wiki.deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_article_numbers . which served as a shortcut to bet against the odds that the listing that you provided included either blacks or clears. why would i want to bet against browns if the article nullifies it?

[IvanIvanovich]

Cherry dosen't always follow their own part naming scheme. I have had a half dozen or so of those 8113HRBUS (I buy them for the keycaps) and all have had browns. All of the 8000 series POS boards have only browns or clears (sometimes on the same part number).
