saw this on a Chinese site, no ideas what they're talking but the caps looked interesting, quad-shot and pointy corners, Cherry profile maybe?



they have a discuss there, I can only read "1987" in the OP

The musical symbols suggest these caps had something to do with a synthesiser, or perhaps more likely a dedicated computer keyboard for music making software. Profit margins are higher in all that stuff than general purpose keyboards, so manufacturers could afford this sort of thing. Multiple shot keys have indeed been seen there before.

I have seen triple-shot before, but this might be the first quad-shot I have seen.

From what I understand, those keycaps are Hirose Cherry MX Orange and won't fit normal Cherry MX switches (the reverse however is possible).

That's a pretty hot sequencer. I'll have to keep an eye out for one. There are some QX1 on ebay but they don't seem quite as nice.

wow, I saw many triple-shot caps before but this is the first time on quadruple-shot, so nice
