Title: NMB RT-101+ Keycaps?
Post by: kaje on Fri, 05 September 2014, 08:24:56: I sold a NMB RT-101+ keyboard with the space invader switches on eBay. Three keycaps came loose in route to the buyer and the buyer claimed one keycap was missing. Long story short, they filed a claim and eBay is issuing a refund and I'll be receiving a keyboard back with a missing arrow key. Anyone know where I could find a replacement?

Edit: This should have gone into the keycap forum. Sorry mods. Tried to delete the thread. Can it be moved?

They're not too common, but if you find someone who's refurbished one of these or made a parts unit, they may have a spare.

I bet Fohat has some spares.

If it were a regular key, I would probably have spares. Arrow keys, Escape, and WASD are the ones that I would most like to keep for dyeing experiments, etc.

I will look to see what I have.

Yeah, that was a picture the buyer sent to me. He also claimed it was "damaged" because the keys came off. The buyer was just an eBay agent for Chinese buyers. I haven't received it back, yet.

Post by: fohat.digs on Sat, 06 September 2014, 14:45:56: I have a set of arrow keys from an Amiga 2000 that are a fairly strong beige/yellow color (almost looks like regular "pearl" with coffee stain) and the legends are upper left.

I don't think they would look very good on that keyboard, but it would fill the space.

I appreciate that! I think I'll just keep an eye out. Thank you, though.
