[SOLD] Model M Metal Keycap £5
« on: Fri, 08 March 2013, 12:41:00 »
I bought this a few weeks ago in the hope of adding it to a newly acquired model M but unfortunately that never materialized and due to me moving that wont happen soon. So i thought I would share the love, thus selling it for what I paid £5 + shipping ask me where you want it shipping, insured or not etc. etc. etc. £2 to UK. Sorry for poor photos, my camera just isn't up for close-ups :( I believe it was made from pewter and it was made by osrix. Anyhow write here or blast me a PM :D







Anything else, please ask :D

I have looked on the Royal Mail site and I will only charge what I am charged for postage, the actual price may be more and if it is I shall find out and send you a PayPal request for the difference anyhow...

Shipping to Belgium;
Air Mail: £2.21
International signed for (Tracked within the UK): £7.36
Airsure (Delivery Confirmation): £8.65

People would rather spend $16 + shipping/paypal at techkeys it seems...

1) TechKeys does not charge PayPal Fees
2) Shipping is free at $25 / $50 international
3) Seems like there is less demand for these that I had anticipated, or inferred from the original thread.

I have two of his early ones and they are GREAT!

Mine have "surface irregularities" that are not a problem (ie a "very" slight dimple on the top, and very light pitting on the sides, you have to look carefully and/or make the light hit them from certain angles) and he says that he has continued to refine his process to resolve it.

The keys feel and sound fabulous!

The weight/inertia is actually a good thing, I wish I had the money to populate an entire board with them.

Maybe you are waiting for him to cast legends into them, but if you are OK with blanks, you really should check these keys out!

These are nice.

I have 2 early ones with slight "irregularities" but I can tell you that they feel and sound GREAT!

If yours is immaculate you should say so, and show photos.

I suspect most people are waiting for legends.
