Hello!

Who came up with modifier key sizes?

I'm trying to figure out what is what. For example: what size are the modifiers on a winkeyless G80-3000: 1.25 or 1.5?

Cheers

Don't quote me on this but winkeyless is 1.5 and those with winkey is 1.25, And they're still 1.5 on the winkeyless G80-1800 but they're 1 on the winkey G80-1800s.

That is correct on all 4 counts.

For the most common models... there are some that are different since Cherry likes to make weird things. I have a winkeyless board with 1.25 mods, and have had with 1.5 1 1, and one with 1.5 1 1.25...

I have never seen any of those. Please post pics!

This is technically winkeyless and there are some with other strange sizes bot most of them have just moved the caps to non standard places (like ctrl on this one as well).

Well that ^ is one of mine, the 0879HAU pictured in that wiki article. This one the 0499 is mine also. The others I can post pics of when I get home. Actually there is no wiki for those, maybe I will write up a few more if I have time.

Not applicable, as it is not a PC keyboard. The Amiga keys worked like Windows keys in many ways. The Windows keys are mapped to Amiga when using a winkeyful PC keyboard with a (non-vintage) Amiga.

How about the G80-3181HPU...


I don't have mine anymore. I made the mistake of parting it out before I came to appreciate the vintage models.
