Title: Keycaps for IBM Model M - Alt x 2 ; Pause/Break x 1
Post by: bootstrap on Wed, 14 March 2012, 22:27:11

I'm looking for two Alt keycaps and one Pause/Break keycap that will fit a Model M. They must be in good condition. Shipping can be to Portland, OR (preferred) or Malaysia. I'll pay via PayPal.  

Please send me a PM with your price.

Unicomp doesn't have Alt keys (in "Pebble") in stock until April. I could order the Pause/Break keycap from Unicomp but if someone had all 3 keycaps, then it'll be more economical to buy all 3 that I need from the same party.

I may part out this Model M I just bought from another GHer, if I can't get the damn spacebar to click.  What are keycaps worth?  I don't want to get hosed too badly on this.  :-P

You can't read this on their site, but when I got my mac key set I noticed Unicomp's keycaps are a little smaller than ibm's ones.

Thanks for that information. In addition, the color of the text on the Alt key currently manufactured by Unicomp is black, not green.

Yes, I did. They have a minimum order of $8 and I only need 3 keycaps.

It's $1 per keycap from ClickyKeyboards and a little less from Unicomp, excluding shipping.
