Model M Keycaps in Europe

Hi,

Where can one get keycaps for a model M in Europe? Getting them from Unicomp is kind of expensive, plus there is the problem of it getting stuck in customs. Ebay and such turns up no results.

Thanks.

Unicomp is the way to go. They are not so expensive compared to SP/GMK/QwerKeys...

phirestarter, we are going to start a GB to Unicomp when we have the Keyboards, if you want you can join to our GB, i'll manage personally your keycaps.

There are 2 Unicomp resellers in Europe :
http://www.keyboardco.com/
http://www.fuchs-shop.com/en/shop/36/

Fuchs has some blank and some coloured caps .

Unicomp can send 10 sets for the same shipping-cost as 1 set,
so there is money to be saved if somebody in a low-VAT country arranges a mini-groupbuy !

Hi!

Have you already ordered the blank keycaps that phirestarter asked?

I'm also searching for one set of them for my Model M.

Thanks!

I ordered and received. Unicomp is very fast sending the orders.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply.

Don't you know about a new Unicomp GB? I'm in Portugal and the shipping costs from Unicomp for a new set are 24 $ USD; I was hoping to save some money.

In the meantime, if anybody's interested, I could also order more than one set.

Indeed, last time I ordered something from them it took 4 days !
Did they also include a new space-bar for each set ?
