The black keys look cool but you will not have a complete set I think.  You will have to keep using the original AT enter key and shift keys, and probably space bar too.  (Unless you modify your AT keyboard to ANSI layout, but even then I think the space bar won't fit.)

I am using an F122 with black keys donated from an M13, but I have noticed that the black keys feel a bit more 'gritty' than the smooth pingy action of the original F122 keycaps.  So I am considering swapping them back again.

It would be interesting to know whether that black label would fit an industrial that was missing its own.

That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.

It will. I did that with an industrial case I had from a secret santa, and used the keycaps and LED cover, as well. Internals from a 1390131.

Completely awesome keyboard!

Don't "G" "B" and "H" have "mouse bites" to accommodate the track point post?

Thank you!

And yes, they have the cutouts, but it doesn't bother me. :)

The black LED overlay is a nice touch.
