Like the title suggests, does a black doubleshot cherry stepped capslock with window exist?

I doubt that.
Where would you place the window anyway? There is no room.

Oh, I see.
I thought of the written "Caps Lock" + window.
Well, still, can't help you with that. I just can say I never saw one.

AS far as I can remember, this is a photo by Half-Saint.
Would have been fair to mention it.

Back to the topic: even on those keyboards with doubleshot keycaps, the stepped CapsLock with window (and as it is, the other windowed keycaps as well) is not doubleshot, but printed and coated (in excellent quality).
So I'm afraid the answer to your question will be negative.

Ah thanx for the info! Don't intend on using the capslock much so printed should be fine.
Do you happen to know if cherry made those in black too?

Never heard of Cherry black keycaps with window, but I'm not into black keycaps,
so I guess I would have missed them anyway
I suppose sixty will be the ultimate reference.

I am into black caps and have never seen a black Cherry-DS Arrow Down with window ..
On the other hand, until last week I had never seen a Cherry-DS 'Compose Character-cap' either, so ..
It may exist on some obscure custom-board ?

Given that black double shot keys seem to be mainly on Cherry Corp POS keyboards it's probably unlikely.
But ya nevah know!
