I'm looking for keycaps and stabilizers for a custom keyboard.
The keyboard doesn't need to be with alps switches, but just alps compatible caps. The keyboard doesn't need to be functional or in good shape, but the caps should be undamaged (dirt/yellowing is okay) and complete of stabilizers and stab supports.
The layout I'm looking for should be close to one of the followings.
[attach=1]
[attach=2]
What I'm looking for is a 1.75 right shift (+1u) with possibly 1.50 modifies (but 1.25 are okay).
I'm building a sub TKL keyboard (65%) so numpad and function row wouldn't be necessary.
Big J-return is optional, standard ANSI return would be good enough, but the overall layout should be American. 1.25 left shift (+1u) would be also fine.
I'd prefer double shot or dye sub.
White is a plus but not strictly required. Beige (or any color actually) is fine.
Thanks!

Those focus keyboards are a lot cheaper than the northgates on ebay. You could probably find something

You're building a 65% Alps board Matt30? And I might be able to help you out. I just stripped a Focus FK-2001.

yes, I'm building an Alps 65% and I need caps :) I'm moving the arrow cluster to the left, under the return key, that's why I need the small right shift. I looked for a Focus on ebay for a couple of weeks but I couldn't find one with US layout.

Unf, I cannot WAIT to see that board. I'm trying to build a TKL Alps board myself. It's slow going since I'm a noob but it's been a fun process to learn. Anyways, I sent you a PM. ^__^

Somebody here, grimey maybe?, did a hacksaw job on a Dell AT101 for a pretty nice small Alps board.
The Dell is a good sturdy project base if you later wanted to transplant other switches into it.

no saw jobs here :) everything will be custom
