Future-proof your keyboard or make your own custom keys, for example to make macros or shortcuts to frequently-used programs. The relegendable caps allowed banks to put in specific function keys before the days of the GUI for IBM mainframes and terminals. Here is a template for printing keys.
Here you can get transparent relegendable caps based on the exact dimensions of the original IBM 4704 design caps. Check out the product photo – the caps are super-clear!

Ordering one unit of this product gives you one clear relegendable cap and one Model F / Model M compatible stem. The stem will be provided in assorted colors, and the stem is new stock from Unicomp which works on both Model M and Model F keyboards – you can’t pick the color, but you won’t see it anyways once your relegendable paper label is installed. The stems are the same as what you'd get when you have two-piece Model M keycaps.
This is the only place to get these IBM-style reproduction transparent caps, unless you buy an original 4704 keyboard that happens to have these caps (if you can find one!).
Important terms: These are for Model F and Model M keyboards; they will not work on other keyboards like beam spring keyboards. For relegendable beam spring keycaps, see that separate product page. Quantities cannot be upgraded after the fact, before an order ships to get a lower bulk price – you’d have to place a new order with the required quantity to get the better price.
