What's that exactly? Winkeyless modifier keys?

Bump. What is this "RGB printed button set"?

I will ask them what they can do in the direction of RGB. Some ships where not available anymore, I've read somewhere...

lal · 12 Jul 2011, 21:50

Thanks, 7bit. It seemed everyone except me knows what it is. I've read that they're out of green right Shifts, too. That's why I'm asking.

nathanscribe · 12 Jul 2011, 23:02

RGB set from Unicomp is: Left & Right ANSI-style green ^Shift; 2x red Ctrl; 2x blue Alt (101/2 key, ie, not compatible with Win key boards) and 1x red Esc. They don't do an ISO-size small left green shift so you only get the two-shift effect on long-shift boards. I got 2 sets from Unicomp a couple of weeks ago - I said "wa ya got" they said "we have a few left", I said "gimme 2" and they did.

I may be paraphrasing there.

Meanwhile, at Unicomp...

Meanwhile, at Chuck's permanent holiday location...

lal · 13 Jul 2011, 06:33

- 4 RGB printed button sets
- 10 red Escape keys

And thanks, nathanscribe!

Last time he PMed me (monday?) it was still on: I'm now waiting for another email or PM telling how much I should wire him.

I hope it is still on because I like a lot the Unicomp stuff I received from Gilgam and now I want some more

OK, here come the invoices!

They look a bit improvised. I will send you the details of how much to pay for shipping later.

laggy-gaga · 19 Jul 2011, 00:58

I got reply from Jim this morning,
Seems they still have RGB in stock,
Good luck

TacticalCoder · 23 Jul 2011, 00:16

Hi, am I too late to participate in this?

Depends. What do you want?

grasshopper · 26 Jul 2011, 00:10

Well ideally I'd like a black model M with matching black keys if shipping is not too excessive (I live in the UK). That's why I started looking at the thread.

However, there are also a number of smaller items that interest me which I didn't realise Unicomp sold. For example coloured keys, led covers, and IBM badges.

Unicomp now only sells blank black keys (that is: without any lettering on them)

Pretty sure they don't sell IBM badges anymore.

Got a blue IBM badge two weeks ago or so from Unicomp. Might have been a mistake but both Gilgam and me got one

WTF? Unicomp changes its mind like teenage girls change their outfits! Did you specifically ask for IBM logo label for the front of the case? Did they just say "oh yeah sure, pay up"?

laggy-gaga · 26 Jul 2011, 09:38

I will get mine tomorrow, c how is mine going

grasshopper · 26 Jul 2011, 20:03

If I did purchase a Model M (assuming it's not too late) can you give me an estimate of how much the shipping would be?

Also, are there likely to be any more Unicomp group buys in the future?
