Hey guys, I have reached out to Fentek to obtain a currently remaining inventory for Model M caps.
I'm personally looking to recreate what you see in this picture. (to me its one of the few custom color cap setups that actually work on a model m, idk seems like a classic video game pixel look, but I digress.)
Would anyone be interested in a GB on this set or possibly something similar for model m caps?
thanks!

Does Fentek still sell pad printed buckling spring keys?
Edit: And I am interested.

So this would be the end of the road.
Waiting on an inventory list now and try and make this happen.

Are complete single-color sets an option? If so I'm interested.
Just FYI, unicomp has those right now.

I'm curious. Are there complete sets? I'd like to see what's what too.
I'm Curious as well, waiting on them to respond with the current inventory and then we can put a set together,
Those white legends on the red look great eh?

In fact, I believe I am in fact still waiting for them to respond to a query from 2013...

And if one of those "buckling spring stem to cherry keycap" projects gets in a good state then a whole range of options open up.

Good luck with this. I've tried to work with Fentek in the past, and "waiting for them to respond" is a core feature of the experience.

I believe you Sam. I do recall going to the site and getting no response from them at all. (I think that was around Jan-Feb) I really don't know, are they doing any business at all, or just ignoring Model M requests?

Edit:
Very new to geekhack and the mech board community. All I have is the Unicomp Spacesaver, though I'm getting a Cherry blue board soon.
I'm assuming these keycaps will work with my Unicomp? Thanks!

When I reached out to them I got a response from 1 person and then another person in the company reached back out to me a few hours later thanking me for the email, etc.. I emailed back today and we will see.
I reverse image search for that photo on the original post leads us to http://shop.hooleon.com/ Which No one can seem to get ahold of.

They are buckling spring keyboards, so yes.
