Hi all,
It's great to join the community with my first post! I just purchased my first mechanical keyboard in 20 years--an Alps Glidepoint keyboard. It's really great to type on, with what I believe are SKCM White Damped switches. It even has a split spacebar--the left half is a backspace key, which is great because of the tiny regular backspace key. It was a bit of a nuisance at first, though, because I ALWAYS USE MY LEFT THUMB FOR SPACEBAR! But I'm now able to erase with the left thumb and type a space with the right.
Anyway, getting to the point. I'm a Dvorak typist. I rearranged the keycaps to the Dvorak layout, but because the caps don't have a flat profile, they look wrong, all jutting out like crooked teeth. Believe it or not, it's barely noticeable to the touch, but I'd love it if the keyboard looked better.
So my question is: where can I find new or used Alps keycaps with either a Dvorak profile or a flat profile that would fit well enough on an Alps Glidepoint board? They don't have to be fancy, and I only need the alphanumeric keys (if I'm being really stingy, just letters and punctuation). Does anyone have any they're throwing out?
EDIT: Forgot to mention: cheap.
