another one with those blue caps? the pic doesn't show the color very well :/
What's blue about them? Oo
Sublegends. Look at caps lock, tab and the ctrl key at the bottom of the far right cluster. Usually Ms or Fs with those blue legends also have blue numpad sublegends, the picture doesn't show it well at all but they look blue to my eyes.

I really don't understand how sellers still take such bad pictures these days, I take way better pictures with my phone.

Ah yeah, I have those on my really old M. They're beautiful, almost certainly the best caps I own (although I don't buy fancy cap sets and artisan stuff). The picture is super horrible though xD .

I don't know who this is but he loves his numpads. I've bought from him before. One for me, 2-3 to proxy. One was lost by USPS. So sad. :o :cry:

A couple of JIS-layout IBM keyboards with buckling springs (possibly of the Alps plate spring variety).

If it's the dolch variant, they're thin and padprinted unfortunately.

Yeah the caps are not really nice on mine either, I was hoping to use some pictures for the wiki since we cannot use these.

if only the seller had a little bit more feedbacks
I succumbed to temptation. Come to me Bigfoot, I will treat you well.

Feedback, though barely much, is still positive. Everyone started from there, did they not?

I've been on the look out for a nice clean ANSI Olivetti rubberdome .. however this ISO model popped up on ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Olivetti-1990s- ... 1948350285

Just to satisfy my curiosity I would be willing to help proxy to the European brothers here in exchange for briefly sampling this board :)

I'm guessing that something set him off... :lol:

Not sure if he's teasing the seller or the recipient.

Edit: that Olivetti isn't going to last long.

I guess he suggests one might sell the real Bigfoot .. On a tangent, did anyone see "Horror Express"?
