Keycap ideas for Black Ibm model m's w/ trackpoint

The letters g and h surround the trackpoint and I changed to blank caps on my model m. Only one issue. The caps do not have the recessed grooves necessary to be used around the trackpoint.

Anyone have any ideas where I can get keycaps to fit?

I had the same issue: I've got lots of keycaps so I did a few experiments and I ended up cutting two blank black keys myself.

By the way if you're selling your white-on-black M13 keys I'm interested in buying them (for my other industrial Model M: I just love industrial Model M with white-on-black keycaps)! If you want to sell them PM me (I could send you a few "blank black" keys so that you can cut them).

Yeah, thanks for the reply. If I do find a set of white on black keys, i will let you know. It seems like unicomp is not selling even the unprinted black keycaps anymore.
