I'm taking pre-orders for lavender IBM geekhack keys w/ black text. The cost is $5 per key plus shipping.
I will be ordering 50 keys from Unicomp, if there is enough interest.
Do not PM me at this time. Reply within this thread instead.

It still has not been clarified exactly what colours there are, and in what way the orange keys are inferior to the way SKCheng's photos show them.
I'd like one, I think -- just one question. I type on a 122-key Unicomp with two-piece caps. Is one single-piece cap going to: a) look different, and/or b) feel any different?
Of course. Bank transfers within EU are an excellent alternative to PayPal.
well I got the keys but they are a bit funny. They used a bold font and not all kkeys are aligned the same. i will take a pic and publish it here.

Here's a better picture. As you can see, most of the caps have "weak print" in the center, beats me why. The worse samples will not be distributed. It's certainly not perfect but also not too terrible.
I'll also speak to Chuck on Monday as he wasn't at work today.
The keys are still waiting for their respective buyers ;)
Yes, only 5 people went through with their orders so far. I have plenty left.
do they fit on unicomp ?
if it's a yes can i get one ?
Oh jesus, forgot about this entirely.
I suppose you still have some left?
EDIT: Of course you do, I see my name on the list on the first post. Boy, do I feel like a ****. Sorry to keep you waiting!
If you still have a few left, maybe I could get two off you instead of the one I signed up for? By the way, is shipping still the same to New Zealand ($9 for first key, $5 for additional including shipping)?
Many thanks, sorry to piss you around.
Cool. Sent that off now. My first time doing a personal Paypal transaction, looks like it screwed up the format of my address in the message, but hopefully you can figure it out.
Thanks heaps for this man!
Noticed on my Unicomp 122-key, that occasionally the printing is a little iffy, much like the keys you got. For example, my `Control' key (spelled out, not `Ctrl') is a little crooked and faded in places.
In any case, no big deal, get street cred for having a faded Model M! That's some serious typing!
Sent off the keys!
how can i order 5?
Shipping to CeeSA and BaconKnight today.
Cheers
I wrote Chuck to confirm 100% that they can do it in all caps, same layout as the existing GH keys. I'm still waiting for the answer. These could be both 1-piece or 2-piece, up to us.
Wait, Unicomp can make the two piece keycaps? For some reason I was under the impression Unicomp's keyboards all had one piece caps. Special order only?
@Ink'Eyes: Sorry about the delay, your key will be shipped today. You'll get one extra key to compensate for the long wait.

I'm sorry but I can't fulfill wishes like "top row, 3rd cap" simply because I tossed them back in the plastic bag with the other keys. I can however promise that you will get the best caps on the "first come, first serve" base.
