ST and STFM keycaps

Post by damanloox »

Does anybody know if STFM keycaps will fit 520ST (not F/FM) keyboard? It's pretty much impossibly to get UK/US keyboard for these original non-floppy machines and I can't stand German keyboard layout (and STFM keyboards are much easier to acquire)

I think they are as long as it is the rubber dome keyboard. If it is the rarer mechanical/membrane keyboard then it won't as they are different.

I tested the left shift keycap from a Falcon Keyboard to a Atari 520ST Keyboard and it fits fine. Falcon and STF/STFM Keyboards are the same.

The rubber dome STM should be the same as STF/E.
