Hello all!

I'm looking for Q and Qs keycaps from terminal keyboards / point-of-sale (POS) systems designed by Devlin Electronics / Devlin Group between the 1980s and 2000s. The exact one I'm looking for has black and white keycaps with colorful function keys (like this: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41466.0).

If you see a keyboard with KMX in the model name, a mechanical terminal keyboard with keycaps organized in a grid fashion, or a Preh Commander POS system it may be the one! I will pay the most for an exact match but please contact me if you have any leads / information. I will take care of any shipping costs.

Thank you!

P.S. A very helpful member of the community has come into contact with me already, but shipping may be a little prohibitive.

EDIT: Found two sets! Thank you.

UK keycaps is, AFAIK, the only reseller that has a working relationship with Devlin. They only have blank K-Series in stock currently, I am pretty sure the ones in your picture are Q-Series. Might be worth keeping on your radar in case they re-stock.

AFAIK Devlin refused to make future products for the enthusiast market so he won't be able to restock his products.

It's a real shame! I was able to at least snag a Pennine kit before Devlin ducked out.

I got a response from someone on Craigslist but they haven't followed up after my reply. :(
