Looking for this Backspace, its from the word perfect set
[attachimg=1]
-
ask Unicomp maeby they can make it for ya
-
They don't have the dye sub templates to make them before, I was in a group buy about two years back and we asked them about it.
For the sake of being slightly pendantic, it's from the Personal Typing System keyboard, not the Word Perfect ones (the latter were the same as regular Ms except for the coloured modifier keys)
-
There is a remote chance that I may have one. My work/storage space is a mess but I am planning to do some cleaning this week.
If I come across it, I will let you know.
-
If you happen to have more than one, let me know :D

Unicomp has new dyesub capabilities according to the Red Alert on buckling springs thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=32616.420). They might be able to produce this key now.

Called the Comp and they said N-O!! :-(

I have this one, but the stem is centered. I suppose that you would call it a 1.5 (like Alt or Tab).
PS - it is a perfectly nice "pebble" color. the yellow is bad lighting. "X" is black, "Word" is green.
-
Word!!

the bird is the word!

Might be a copyright or trademark issue. (Not to be confused with patent issue.) Corel still yet lives.

sent you a PM

I don't know if you ever got that backspace key you're looking for, but if not, somebody just listed an SSK with these special DisplayWriter key caps. Pretty expensive for one key, but if you're interested in an SSK too, it might make sense.

I have a 1392464 that's missing the original F5 keycap. It's in great shape otherwise with only a few broken rivets. Bad to have a missing keycap on a board that's characterized by its unique keycaps. Other than the keycaps, mine is a typical 1987 SSK. Since everyone seems to be missing a different keycap, we need to locate a junked 1392464 for parts.
ClickyKeyboards says this board is rare. However, if you look at the IBM parts suppliers, many of them list this model.
-
The linked ebay board is missing the pause/break key.

I believe all those parts suppliers subscribe to some sort of central listing service -- when one vendor gets a part, it shows up on everyone's list with a notation, "call for price quote". And when it is out of stock, the entry in their catalogue remains. For example, all these vendors list the Space UnSaver keyboard too, but none have it.

No, it's not Pause/Break; it's a non-standard key cap. See here:

I meant the keycap that goes where pause / break normally is. I can't read it exactly from the ck listing, and wasn't able to quickly find samwisekoi's pictures of his.
