Received my M13 + custom keycaps
« on: Tue, 24 May 2011, 16:41:10 »
Hey !
Yesterday I received my ebay-sourced M13 ($64 shipped) and today the custom Unicomp keycaps.
It works perfectly, after a good cleaning it's perfect. Had some weird PS/2 bugs at the beginning but now everything's fine.

What could this be ? Interesting packaging...


Out of the box, before cleaning


And after cleaning and custom Unicomp caps. They are supposed to be IBM blue but are lighter than I expected. Thanks Chuck !

Sorry, sorted it out.
First time doing it, it's not the most intuitive.

Yep, that's baby blue, definitely not IBM blue.

Okay, thanks for the info on the color. We need a color chart on a sticky/wiki somewhere.
Nevermind, I still like the setup. I might have gone for a darker color, maybe next time.
By the way, I think our beloved Chuck at Unicomp has retired, do we know who replaces him?

Yes I really like the side arrows. I had sent Chuck a pic of the elitekeyboards WASD kit to explain what I wanted.
Cherry MX keyboards owners are now not the only ones with them now... mwahahaha

Model M owners unite !

I think when I get around to dying an entire keyboard and the keys (and keeping the keycaps that are different colors still different) I'll also go ahead and do the wasd keys a different color.
