IBM model F XT and model M 13910401 "ESC" keycaps compatible?
« on: Thu, 24 November 2016, 00:21:46 »
I have an IBM Model M 13910401 with a missing "ESC" keycap and was just wondering if I can get it from a model F XT keyboard? Are they the same? I know that the "ESC" key from the Model F is a one-piece assembly while the Model M i mentioned uses two-piece assembly. But are they interchangeable?

Or can anyone point me where to get one?

Thanks.

Of course they are, all BS switches use the same stem.
