ok im getting my second model m and i want to add a few custom caps if possible but still keep it retro. was wondering if there is anything i can get or am i going to have to do these myself?
i want to keep it retro but i love the look of dolche keycaps was hoping there was something like that i could get for my model m.

have you looked at unicomp's selection?
they won't do arbitrary dyesubbing (yet!), but they offer a number of different colors for 1x keys, and they have RGB sets

yeah sorry i forgot to add that to the first post, i know of unicomp and Fentek's selection. i was more looking for something that looks close to the dolches.
i've already ordered the RGB set from unicomp and a few single color buttons from fentek but was after other options if any. if its not possible yet i might consider trying to custom do some with a blank set from unicomp but have no idea where to even start (dont want to dye them they look terrible) what color code would dolche even be? wonder if i could get them powdercoated lol. (my brother does powdercoating and has done cases for me before lol)

You can take cherry keycaps, and cut the stems off, and glue an IBM stem on, but that's it.

What type of board/keycaps are those in the picture? That's not a model M, is it? Those colors look great, though!

yeah not a model m but was using it to reference for the color, they are dolche keycaps on a kmac board.
