Haven't seen it posted here by now, Unicomp sells Geekhack keycap sets for Buckling Spring Keyboards.

I'm confused...  How would these be used on a Unicomp keyboard?

Pull off the existing fn row, and pop these on? Pretty simple, actually.

But, these are replacements for the number key row, not the function key row.

How do you figure? Looks like they say f1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 to me.

On the top of the keys is the number row, from !/1..........+/=

The only place you would see something like this is on a mini keyboard, like the HHKB, FC660C, Poker, etc..

There are two sets. One is a combination fn/number row, found here: http://pckeyboard.com/page/SBLE/AltFunNumKey
The other is a combination fn/geekhack row, found here: http://pckeyboard.com/page/SBLE/GHFunKey

TBH, I agree about the limited usefulness of the fn/number keys on a unicomp board, but then the appropriate question to ask would be "why" would those be used on a Unicomp, not "how".
