Editing Cherry G81-1900 (section)

==Keycap compatibility with Cherry MX==
Cherry MY switches have chiefly been used in [[:Category:Cherry_G81_series|Cherry G81 series]] keyboards. The biggest reason for buying one of these keyboards might be to harvest the keycaps and put them on a modern board with [[Cherry MX]] switches.

[[Stabiliser]]s are different for MX and MY switches. On MY switches, the stabilizer bar is directly attached to the switch, while in the MX series, each switch has a pair of individual stabilizer mounts.

On more recent MY boards, made after 2001, all keycaps with stabilizers, including the space bar, Enter, Backspace, numeric keypad Enter etc. have their stabilizing hinges integrated in the keycaps themselves. They are therefore normally not compatible with Cherry MX switches.
