WTB: Plastic insert in barrel for buckling spring keycaps
« on: Tue, 26 February 2013, 18:36:51 »
I wanted to see if anybody has these extra otherwise I would have to contact Unicomp. They are the black and white plastic pieces on the left. Thanks to webwit for the picture I'm using. I want a couple at least, so if you guys have a bunch let me know.

Those are always in short supply.

Unicomp will sell them, although they are not listed on the website.

Call on the phone and ask a living human how to do it. Order extras, you will use them eventually.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Thanks, I was going to take them from my Model M but the things are stuck in there pretty good. I will probably just contact Unicomp in the near future then.

in addition to what others have said you can submit a ticket to [customer] support where they usually always get back within 24 hours. they have the best customer service pretty much i have dealt with and will answer as long as you keep asking.

as discussed before by fohat if you do not see it on the site does mean they do not have it. ask where they (if in stock) will give you a part number to include on the order form.

submit a ticket to cust service. you can also order them through the blank key form. in the notes write "order is for white inserts, not keycaps". they can shower you in the things.

to all the brilliant friends who have left us, and all the students who climb on their shoulders.
