New color scheme for my Model M
« on: Fri, 30 November 2012, 03:16:22 »
Nothing major. I swapped out the beige keycaps on a Model M for the grey ones on a Unicomp. Reminds me a bit of the keycap color scheme on some SGI boards:

Nice!  I may have to do this on my SSK.  What model Unicomp does that come from?

Thanks! That's from the Classic 104 (Black).

Nice! The green LEDs make me wonder if there couldn't be a nice green-based color scheme.
