Title: Searching for Model M keycaps
Post by: jensma on Wed, 28 March 2012, 10:45:59

Hi there!

I'm desperatly searching for some colored keycaps for my Model M :( I've asked some shops, like unicomp a.s.o. Unfortunatly, the shipping cos is around $50 bucks.
Do you guys know a shop in Europe? Or is someone of you selling caps? My old keyboard just looks so plain and lame :)

This would be nice :D

PS: Are other caps, like some Cherrys, compatible? I'm quite a noob ;)

Most people in EU would normally order from Unicomp unfortunately.  Shipping will be expensive, but I think they quote you a more accurate and honest shipping price.

But you're right, colored caps on Model M's are pretty sweet  =)

And no, Cherry MX keycaps are not compatible with Buckling Springs
