[WTB] RGB Mods for Model M, and other Model M caps
« on: Fri, 28 February 2014, 13:04:49 »
I was going to order from Unicomp, but shipping for the RGB mods was $61 on their site which is frankly unacceptable. So I am wondering if anyone has an extra set they are willing to sell me. :)

Also looking to buy Model M caps of any kind, feel free to make some offers!

Yo. I was considering buying a set for myself recently. I could buy a set for you as well, and ship them for much cheaper than that obviously.

Did you check if any of the Unicomp resellers would be able to sell those?  (Don't know if they handle parts...)

Also as far as the RGB, I would suspect you could get something similar dying the keys yourself.

I have lots of Model M caps for different layouts as well as relegendables, stabilizers (for the older Model M models), different colors, one and two piece, etc. I have too many and don't know where to begin. What are you looking for?

Some are custom dyed, and I also have unicomp dyed. I have the RGB set.

For dyed keycaps: I have very good success in light blue, cream/sand, light/florescent green, and dark green. These are flawless. But I have less success with red, purple and blue; these are good when viewed from the top, but less even on the sides.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

61 bucks? Have you tried selecting regular post? It's about 20 bucks for set.
