Description

These key caps are found on the earliest model Beige Apple IIe’s with most of the switch types. They have White letters on a dark gray keycap and a white bottom underneath. Some of these keycaps will NOT work on other IIe keyboards. You must investigate what type of switches are on your keyboard! You can go back to the main IIe Key Cap page if these caps don’t look like yours.

The Reset and Caps Lock keys are different depending on if you have Alps long stem switches or not! They definitely won’t sit properly on other switches. The Alps Caps Lock has an extended stem, and a recessed Reset stem. All others have a recessed Caps Lock and a level or extended Reset. See last photo.

Most of the caps in stock are discolored and look like the middle line in the second photo

The really washed out caps (bottom line in second photo) were part of my single Retrobrite experiment – they were in too long. They may or may not revert to their original color over time, I have no idea. If I am sold out of the cap that you need, Contact me if you would like one of these. These are NOT included in what you can order here, but the prices will be the same.

*We have had good luck getting broken stems out of the keycaps, so please don’t throw them away, but send them here so we can try to give them a new life.
