AT101W Keycap Replacements
« on: Thu, 10 December 2020, 03:23:21 »
Hi everyone!

I currently own an AT101W that has lost its keycaps, and I would like to know if there is anyway to source a replacement or compatible set. Finding a set would be relatively simple, if it wasn't for the 1.5u keycaps used on the bottom row, as well as the Windows keys being used - I know Alps keyboards have Windows keys from time to time, but they aren't super common.

I'm not too worried about the bottom row's convex shape, if there are sets of them without it. I just want to use my keyboard to its fullest potential.

Thanks!

Tai Hao sells Alps mount keycaps on their website here: https://shop.tai-hao.com/categories/alps-keycaps

Be warned though, they aren't exactly the best looking or the highest quality, but if you're just looking for something that works this fits the bill.

It should be noted that the spacebar & caps lock keys that come with Tai-Hao ALPS sets are not compatible with the AT101/2s. The caps lock from them are centered while the AT101 has an offset one & the spacebar from them has MX mount points for the stabilizers while the AT101 uses ALPS style stabilizers for all stabilized keys.

I was going to say that. I have heard, if I am remembering correctly, that you can special-order a compatible CapsLock. Can anybody verify that and give us a link?

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.
