$3.40 each keycap, plus shipping
I have most of the characters; I have about
300 keycaps from this Apple Desktop Bus
keyboard, so most keycaps you specify will
be supplied. For larger / longer keycaps
(e.g., SPACE BAR or SHIFT), the metal
spring-rod on the bottom side is taped
to the keycap so that you receive a
complete keycap unit. The keycaps were
pulled from their ALPS-keyswitches using
a proper keycap-puller tool, so none
of the keycaps have a broken stem.
TOP-COLOR OF KEYCAPS CANNOT
BE GUARANTEED ! Note that Apple IIgs
keycaps are 30-45 years old; plastics can
change color with age, or with any
exposure to sunlight. Suggestion: If keycap
color is important to you, BUY SEVERAL
IDENTICAL KEYCAPS so you can install
the best-color-matching keycap.
When ordering KEYCAPS, specify which
characters you prefer on the keycaps, and
mention alternative characters, to be
sent if the first-choice keycaps have
already been sold. If you want ALPS
keyswitches as alternatives, they will be
this ALPS keyswitch stem-color: CREAM.
The ALPS keyswitches, with cream-
colored stem, are ten-for $7.00 each.
(Orange-stem Alps switches are higher cost.)
ATTENTION OVERSEAS
BUYERS:
I ship to overseas buyers via Ebay's
shipping program, by which I ship to
a domestic remailing address (mostly
at Illinois), then Ebay transports the
package to the buyer's home country
for delivery to the buyer.
60-Day Return
if Dissatisfied
If returned for refund, buyer pays shipping in
both directions. Items returned for refund must
be in their original condition, without modifications.

REGARDING APPLE II
"KEYCAP SHARKS"
I looked through the Ebay ads at others' offers
for these keycaps - some are charging as high as
$8.95 each for these keycaps or keyswitches.
Yes, $8.95 for EACH KEYCAP! Even with Biden-
inflation, That high price is excessive. No one at
the annual KansasFest conference overcharges at all;
Some at K-Fest give away their surplus items for
free. The Ebay predators who overcharge are not part
of the Apple II community; they are "sharks" who have
heard that there is big money to be made from Apple
II loyalists. These "sharks" would likely sell admission
tickets to their mother's funeral if they believed that
anyone would buy. They calculate that Apple II users
are so desperate for particular items that they will pay
ridiculously high prices. I hope that my low price
on these keyswitches and keycaps underprices all
the sharks, and puts them out of business!
COMBINED SHIPPING: PRIORITY

I am a self-proclaimed Apple II expert, having authored five articles

2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 , 2018, and 2019 at Kansas City MO.
