[wtb/looking for] 2 keys for new Model M! (well not new)
« on: Mon, 05 January 2015, 22:42:26 »
I found a model M the other day while I was on patrol at a site! So, it's missing the - key and the right alt.. Anyone got one of each?

She's in awesome shape (from 1993) I'd like to toss these on and use the crap out of it!

Check with Comrade Sniper he should be happy to sell you for a cheap price.

Unicomp could sell you replacement caps as well. I picked up some caps from them and they're quite nice.

Nice find!

There are a couple of eBay sellers selling individual Model M keycaps.

"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

Don't buy replacements from Unicomp unless you need a big order because their minimum shipping is fairly expensive.

I've got plenty of each.  Would you like a set of green printed alt keys or a single standard black?

I bought from them, and I emailed them because the international shipping choices they gave me at checkout were a minimum of $20 and they arranged $8 tracked shipping for me. I would probably order an RGB set or something if I was going to order two caps. But I agree it would probably be cheaper to buy privately. :)

OK, fine, that's Canada. From USA to Canada probably there are inexpensive options.

When I wanted to buy from them 2 years ago, shipping to Singapore, I remember a huge figure like $46 or something (Fedex.). This may have changed, but I have been using a bulk proxy since then so I don't need direct shipping which is almost always more expensive.
