Re: IBM Model M replacement keycaps - Where to buy?


I'm not trying to start an argument, but I wanted to point out that I wasn't comparing Unicomp's revenue to Joe's, I was referencing Joe's revenue just to illustrate how there's demand out there and therefore money to be made.


But you kind of are. You're insisting that a company with more than ...

Do you prefer the grey or the black caps?

[InterestCheck]colorway interest check for royal purple

Looking for interest in a purple and black or maybe grey cap set. I've used Ian's keyboard layout editor to mock up the color ideas using the SP's ABS colors. The purple is RDE on NN (black) or GB (grey), or NN on RDE. The black has more contrast on the screen, not sure what the grey would look like ...

Thanks - 1.5u and 1u all the way across is what I want to hear.

I am still deciding how I feel about not having the function key row though.

are the keys on the bottom row (of the TKL) 1x and 1.5x wide? Are there any 1.25x keys on the keyboard (like the key on the right of the space bar on the starndard Unicomp Sun Space Saver)?

I think I've discovered my Lenovo laptop was not acting appropriately, not a keyboard issue (hurray!!!)

Unicomp keyboard weirdness (Lenovo USB issues)

I bought 2 Unicomp bucking spring keyboards last year and fell in love. Then suddenly on the one I have at work the space bar and the minus key and the enter key on the numeric keypad stopped working. I plugged in my extra keyboard and took the bucking spring home. Finally had a chance to test and ...

very true - NIB is pretty cool...and NIB upgraded - wow - just not sure I want to spend $600 to cut up NIB keyboard...

You can move the caps around on a Model M (and indeed a Model F) quite a bit: including doing things like splitting the typical 2 unit Backspace into 2x 1 unit keys. There's a picture around here somewhere of all the options. Can't find it myself. So here's a pic of my Kishsaver, with a modified ...

Oh wise Oracle, since your dumber younger brother Larry Ellison took over my keyboard source has vanished from the face of the earth.

I love my UNIX style keyboards, but the caps lock/control key is not the issue in the programmable keyboard world - the issue I'm facing is where and how big the ...
