Title: Coloured Model M Keycaps
Post by: dacm on Thu, 23 December 2010, 16:20:46

Hi guys,

Does any one know where these coloured keycaps might have come from?:

I think they are very pretty and would love to get my hands on some. Do you think maybe unicomp sold them? - I heard they sold some coloured keycaps but don't know what colours they do.

Make your own by cooking them in Rit dye.

Could do. But it sounds risky though ( I might screw up the colour) and I wouldn't get that super cool white text.

Probably either Unicomps or Fenteks. Most likely Unicomp keycaps when they still did pad printing. If you can live with black lettering, Unicomp will probably sell you colored caps.
