No, all model M keycaps are dye sublimated.
The source is unicomp, I was also under the impression they had stopped making these. But they wrote to me, they will.JP! wrote: 01 May 2020, 03:04 I take it you must have a source for these since Unicomp stopped producing the orange APL keys.
I don't mean to be that guy, but the APL sublegends are desirable for their decorative qualities, not because many of us might program in APL...daedalus wrote: 03 May 2020, 10:41 One thing worth pointing out is that the blue and orange APL keycaps have different layouts for different APL implementations. The orange ones are for IBM APL2, whereas the blue ones are for Dyalog APL. It may be helpful to understand this distinction if you are trying to request that Unicomp produces more of the orange ones.
Same for me, I am buying them for the novelty. I have zero interest to know what the differences between APL and APL2 are.depletedvespene wrote: 03 May 2020, 15:23I don't mean to be that guy, but the APL sublegends are desirable for their decorative qualities, not because many of us might program in APL...daedalus wrote: 03 May 2020, 10:41 One thing worth pointing out is that the blue and orange APL keycaps have different layouts for different APL implementations.

The reason I point it out is that it may make it easier to explain to Unicomp what you are looking fordepletedvespene wrote: 03 May 2020, 15:23I don't mean to be that guy, but the APL sublegends are desirable for their decorative qualities, not because many of us might program in APL...daedalus wrote: 03 May 2020, 10:41 One thing worth pointing out is that the blue and orange APL keycaps have different layouts for different APL implementations.

Frankly, I think Unicomp itself might not be able to tell the difference and just go "Oh, they're not the same, besides the color?!"daedalus wrote: 03 May 2020, 16:11The reason I point it out is that it may make it easier to explain to Unicomp what you are looking fordepletedvespene wrote: 03 May 2020, 15:23I don't mean to be that guy, but the APL sublegends are desirable for their decorative qualities, not because many of us might program in APL...daedalus wrote: 03 May 2020, 10:41 One thing worth pointing out is that the blue and orange APL keycaps have different layouts for different APL implementations.
