I'm looking for two Alt keycaps and one Pause/Break keycap that will fit a Model M. They must be in good condition. Shipping can be to Portland, OR (preferred) or Malaysia. I'll pay via PayPal.

Please send me a PM with your price.

Just order new ones from unicomp

Unicomp doesn't have Alt keys (in "Pebble") in stock until April. I could order the Pause/Break keycap from Unicomp but if someone had all 3 keycaps, then it'll be more economical to buy all 3 that I need from the same party.

I may part out this Model M I just bought from another GHer, if I can't get the damn spacebar to click. What are keycaps worth? I don't want to get hosed too badly on this. :-P

You can't read this on their site, but when I got my mac key set I noticed Unicomp's keycaps are a little smaller than ibm's ones.

Did you try http://www.clickykeyboards.com ?

Thanks for that information. In addition, the color of the text on the Alt key currently manufactured by Unicomp is black, not green.

Yes, I did. They have a minimum order of $8 and I only need 3 keycaps.

It's $1 per keycap from ClickyKeyboards and a little less from Unicomp, excluding shipping.
