Available colors:  standard pearl/pebble, black (unprinted only), Industrial SSK Blue, and Dark Gray.  International sets come in standard pearl/pebble.  

Note:  these key sets do not include extra, Front Printed, HHKB, or Apple-specific keys (split right shift, command/option, etc.)!  This means that all of the additional keys pictured will not be included if you order the base set.  These other custom keys are only available separately, either as part of the HHKB 6 key set, Front Printed F1-F12 set, or individually orderable through the Extra Keys store page.  These extra keys are often indicated under a different heading like Front Print, Extras, Apple, etc. and are sometimes pictured with green or blue rectangles below (these rectangles are not printed on the keys).  Please check the store for the Apple and HHKB 6 key sets (if you have the HHKB type layout, you should order an extra HHKB set for each full key set that you order).  Included in the HHKB 6 key set: 1.75U right shift, 1.5U size Delete key, 1U | key, 1.5U Caps Lock, 1.75U Left Ctrl, and 1U Fn.  If you order front printed keys, HHKB style extra keys, or Industrial SSK keys with your set, they will not replace any other keys you’re getting – you still get the full set, plus the extra keys you order.

All 103 key sets include the space bar, space bar stabilizer wire and required 6 stabilizer inserts for the set, both horizontal and vertical inserts. If you order the “full base key set” you get 103 keys so you can use the set on your other Model M or Model F keyboard as well as the new production ones, though the space bar is the Model M style so it will not work with XT/AT style space bars or Model F style space bars unless you make a custom wire or remove the plastic clips (not recommended) as shown here.

Sept. 2023 update: I am now making the JIS sets with the new IBM XT quality tooling; just order the JIS set above and everyone receives the new production set.  APL and IBM SSK remain sourced from Unicomp.  

Note on the IBM Original SSK Set:  These are made from the original NOS IBM transfer sheets, transferred onto new keys however, not original IBM plastic.  Extremely limited quantity.  Since SSK’s do not have the number block, these additional keys are included but they are all blank/unprinted or printed with a different font.  The sets will look like the original IBM SSK legends including the front printing (IBM had different sublegend colors gray and brown as you may know, so you will get one of these two options – sorry you can’t pick one or the other).  The Caps Lock key is stepped.  Great for your new Model F keyboards as well as buying a brand new set for your Model M SSK.

Additional note: legal, safety, and limited warranty information for this MODEL F LABS LLC product is available to consumers pre-sale and will be furnished upon request, by writing to the email or mailing address at the bottom of this web page.  Of course you’ll get a printed booklet with your order shipment!  Contact me for a discounted international shipping quote if ordering only small items.  The shipping rates posted on the store page are accurate for international shipments containing a keyboard.
