IBM Keycaps - UK
« on: Sun, 30 June 2024, 08:52:58 »
I want to put "New" caps on my 122 Key Terminal board (QMK/VIAL USB converter).

I know I can get Blanks from Unicomp in the US, and if I need to  I will, but For obvious reasons, I'd prefer a " local" company. Is there a UK seller anyone knows of? Would like a standard UK/ISO layout if needed, but I realise that, asking even more than just finding a UK seller.

Cheers in advance for any pointers, links etc.

From what I'm aware the only two manufactuers of model m keycaps that I know of are both from the us (unicomp and model f labs), so I don't think you will be able to find someone local to order from. Unicomp does do UK ISO keycaps though, you can order a custom set from their website with a bunch of different options, I'll leave the full list and the uk ones as well.

Cheers.

I'll end up buying relegendable caps from Model F Labs. I have most of the Alpha's, and have a donor board or ten... It's got a normal enter key as opposed to the tiny US one, the rest I can map, Vial is super easy for the most part.

Cheers for the reply.
