IBM Model M Question
« on: Tue, 27 March 2012, 08:43:55 »
Hey guys!


Kind of new here but this is an incredible keyboard forum, wow. Anyways I recently grabbed an IBM model M and i am in love. I cannot wait to  grow my collection. I have one question regarding the key caps on the Model M...


I have the following keyboard..

http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/29524/subcatid/0/id/546694


What kind of key caps can be used on my Model M? Would the following be switchable?

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-IBM-PCjr-7257-Typewriter-wireless-keyboard-/140634058273?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item20be716e21



I looked through the Wiki and i cannot find which IBM model M keyboards key caps can be switchable.



Thanks for the help!

Grr ... $10 min order from Unicomp. Just figured I'd get a couple of custom printed "PANIC" keycaps (now that you've pointed out their new store offering), but I'm expected to add $7 of garbage to the order so that their order robot doesn't consider me too cheap to waste their precious time. (For the privilege of buying pointless garbage I will also owe $21 shipping to Britain, for two measly keycaps.) I don't need anything else … Is this a ploy to shift stock in useless two-button IBM mice?

We need a bigger store that covers more than one brand at a time … EK don't do Unicomp, Keyboardo don't do Topre accessories … And ALPS are left so unloved in the West :*(

The politest, nicest person I've seen on this forum in a long time. This forum would benefit from an adoption of this common courtesy and lack of trolling, one-upmanship and general egotism which seems to be the rule, not the odd exception.

Have a great day folks.
