What's this keycap?
« on: Mon, 11 November 2013, 04:59:09 »
I've stumbled upon this website and found the picture of this keycap. Looks like an old school keycap from C64, anyone know who produce this or who sell this keycap?

TOO MANY KEYBOARDS THAT I COULD NOT COUNT! BUT I AM STILL USING MY MODEL F77

It was a group buy at Signature Plastics arranged by Matt3o. I don't think there are any leftovers left but you could always ask around.

Was being sold at techkeys.us but it looks like they are sold out of the full set and only have smaller pieces left.

Ah, you're thinking of these!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
