Thanks, I'm already registerd there but people won't sell model M this cheap... This guy knows nothing about keyboards, a shame...
(it's the real 1989 U.K. 1391402 I had)

If you're patient you'll find an Azerty Model M.  Maybe not for 30 euro, but not crazy expensive either.  I think you should post a classified Wanted to Buy thread on deskthority.net, like Spamray said.   Ask for a 1989 U.K. 1391402 Model M.  Of course the more specific you make your request, the more you will have to pay most likely.  But for any late '80's or early '90's model M, you should find something for a decent price.

Finally got better than that, a guy selling a model M on ebay, seeing I really wanted it, cancelled his auction and for 55 euro, I'm gonna have 1 model M clicky with double-shot caps, another lexmark IBM dome (same shell), a full set of double shot keycaps, a spare model M shell and electronic card, a spare cable... and as I'm not so rich, my psy will buy it for me XLOL. Search and you will find

Weren't Model M caps dyesubbed?

[kilogeek]

I'm not sure, but there has been several revisions and some may have double-shot keycaps, The seller seemed to know what he was talking about.
Will tell you that once I have it. Can't say but there may be differences between model M made in USA and the ones made in UK.

[CPTBadAss]

I'm about 90% sure that the Model M caps are dye subbed.

Edit: As far as I know, double shot PBT was only done recently due to issues with shrinkage of the material in the mold and cost.

[Wildcard]

No they were either dye subbed or pad printed. I've never heard of DS Buckling Spring caps.

[CPTBadAss]

They were either dye subbed or pad printed.

Hm ok, thanks for the info. That's how the Fentek stuff is made right? Pad Printed?

Fentek actually makes key caps for other boards including DS. But for the BS key caps they "did" offer pad printed previously. But last time we asked them, I don't believe they ever responded. The hope was to get RGB modifiers with white pad print. No dice

The alps buckling spring keycaps will fit alps doubleshots, but I think they came with pad-printing onboard (for the sega teradrive at least). Model M's all came in dyesub and whatever the M13 used.

As far as I can tell, fentek has never actually made keycaps. Their cherry are all SP and all the BS keycaps are the same colours unicomp offers.

[kilogeek]

Anyway, these keycaps are made of a very good PVC as I've never seen yellowed ones, so they are very easy to clean with soap or methanol.

Think you mean PBT. There aren't any caps made from PVC.
