Title: Where an I get keycaps for Space Saving Model M
Post by: phototristan on Sun, 15 August 2010, 10:35:54

Anyone know where I can get replacement keycaps for the Model M Space Saver? Some of the letter keys have numbers on them so it's a bit different than your standard Model M keycaps.

Thanks I'll call them next week. I had no idea they would sell keycaps to a keyboard that is no longer made.

Those folks have just about everything... They still sell the upper halves of the Industrial Space Saving keyboard, allowing you to convert your beige SSK into a "semi-Industrial"

I'm an 'all stock' type of guy myself. That pic sorta reminds me of an old Silicon Graphics keyboard though:

I used to do support for Lusasfilm ILM, handled many of those back in the day.
