YMMV (YMWSV), but I'd rather go for the Fentek keycaps. See my post on this issue.

As far as I knew Fentek stopped making keycaps for the model M but on another not I really wanted to get my hands on one of those Desktority keycaps in red you got any spare you would consider selling me?

Or can you link me where I can purchase them.

Thanks.

I know. Necromancing. I was, however, looking for a thread regarding relegendables.

Fentek is still making relegendables for IBM ($17.50 for 10) and Cherry/MX mount ($10 for 10). I've sent an e-mail to see if they have the same for Alps.

Fentek also has Alps novelty ESC keys, but no DT ones. Different color Model M caps, though!

You take 12 points necrotic damage. But good into, nevertheless. Got links for ordering them?

https://www.fentek-ind.com/keys.htm. It's the page for ordering any of the caps I mentioned. Sorry 'bout that. I thought I put in the link ... or I did and the forum just ate it.

I didn't receive a response from Fentek as to whether they have relegendable Alps caps. ATM, I'm just interested in their availability, not necessarily for a current project.

Alps relegendables do exist, I have several. Let me see if I can find the Ali link when I get home.

Just wanted to leave this note here that you can currently get transparent relegendable Model F / Model M key tops made from brand new molds as part of the Brand New Model F project I am coordinating: https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/product ... -cap-stem/

Mine are exact reproductions of the IBM 4704 caps.
