[Wanted] Model M keycaps: (number 4 on numpad) - ISO RGB modifier

17 Jul 2012, 13:41

Heyhey,

I'm looking for a number 4 (numpad) keycap for my Model M (it's the only one I'm missing :p). Just the cap, not the stem.
This is the black arrow, not with the grey arrow.
Would be great if someone in the could provide me with one with cheap shipping. Shipping from unicomp of clickykeyboards is insane for a 1$ cap only (20-24$).

And I don't know if they exist or anyone has those, but are there RGB modifiers for a ISO version model M? (small left shift).

Maybe now it does but the last time I talked to Unicomp, they only had ANSI LShift in green.

Thanks

I just wrote a ticket to Unicomp, I guess we'll find out soon enough then ^^

I would be interested in ISO left Shift in Green as well

Wow I already got a reply from Unicomp! Unfortunately they don't make the RGB for the ISO layout.
Would there be any other companies or people that do make them?

AFAIK only Unicomp has the possibilities to produce Buckling Spring PBT Dye Subs for reasonable prices.

You can mod cherry caps to fit FYI, im thinking of doing this.

I wanted to do some color dying experiment with green Rit and some new Left iso shifts... I do not want to ruin original ones.

So I was asking to Unicomp if they could sell me some Left shifts for ISO layout. I was opening a ticket since it wasn't possible to order anywhere on the site.

The answer I received was that they do not sell individual multiwide keys, but planned to do it next weeks on their site.
It was May 2012

Long weeks at Unicomp.

Have you opened a ticket to ask what I would cost by USPS? You could probably get it for just a couple of bucks that way. Failing that, one of USPS’s small flatware boxes would hold a bunch of keys, so you could organise a mini-groupbuy. I’d be interested in a set of RGB modifiers, and others might be interested in just a few keys themselves.

I've just opened a ticket asking for a cheaper shipping way

Although it would be nice if I could get a numpad 4 key from a real model M, seeing as some people say the font is slighty different. Which I don't know for sure.

i would like a "-" key for my numberpad. so id be in for a group buy.

19 Jul 2012, 10:16

well I got a response for the cheaper shipping method but they say it"s by weight and the cheapest option (including USPS) should appear when checking out. So cheaper shipping is a no-no ^^ I'm not yet leaning towards the option of a group buy if I maybe can get the numpad 4 key somewhere else. So if anyone can help me, say the word!

What's with this offer ?
http://www.ebay.de/itm/1-Taste-fur-IBM- ... 2573087c7a

sells used Model M caps, mentions there are different colours of the numpad keys available. I can help with the language barrier if there is one, in fact thought about buying two caps there too.

Oeh nice! I probably didn't see that because he doesn't ship to other countries. I sent him a question to ask for shipping to Belgium, we'll see what he says

*In case he doesn't ship to other countries, maybe we can work something out if you're going to buy keys from him anyway? I'll keep you updated!

yeah, for sure, that's why I mentioned it...gl.

Hehe alright, got an answer and he can ship it for 3,5 euro. So that would be the same if I ordered with you, kint (double shipping costs). But thx for the link!

RougeRambo, maybe you can also find your minus symbol there

Unicomp does make ISO RGB kits, but only with inverted colors (red shiftes and blue/green modifiers).

That's strange. Maybe they made them in the past then? Because this is part of the reply I got:
"We don't currently make the RGB for the ISO layout."

*I ordered from the guy on Ebay through mail, ordered some more keys (also ISO shift so I'll probably try to dye it myself) and I got a good deal

it will be shipped tomorrow ^^

19 Jul 2012, 22:04

Well, that's what I know from a guy who proxied for me. I still have to receive my kit. However, try to ask them if they do have a short left red shift. In that case, you can have your color inverted rgb iso kit.

15 Aug 2012, 22:59

Sorry for the bump. Grond, can you confirm the existence of the RGB ISO kit?

16 Aug 2012, 12:09

Not yet. >:((
