Title: Looking to get a keycap for Epson Equity keyboard (perhaps same as IBM Model M)
Post by: neosunrise on Sat, 01 June 2019, 22:36:10

I recently got an Epson Equity III+ computer and the keyboard is missing an F4 keycap. I have looked on the Internet and it seems that it looks pretty similar to IBM model M. Was wondering if anybody has the keycap for sale?

You might want to see if it's a Fujitsu Peerless board too.

I think some Epson boards are Peerless designs, but I've never heard of an Epson Model M.  There may be some cap interchangeability, but the Model M ones are likely a little different looking.

Yes it looks the same as the peerless one. The keycaps look very similar from the bottom. Here’s a picture that I just took.
