Atari st Key caps and case remakes

[Groppo91]

I was wondering how the work on making atari st housing(case remake/models) are going and also wondering is anyone creating replacement keycaps in nice colours like black? Hope that one day we can have sturdy cases for these old computers or nicer colours not that the originals are that bad.

I've not seen anything. The only work done was using water transfers to "wrap" existing old cases and keys.

There were fancy keycaps for ATARI ST series but rather in the standard colour scheme.

I have often seen German layout keycaps, but there were also UK ones like the item in the above link.

Are these NOS 3rd party replacement keys that were available in the 90s? Or something being made today?

Very strange look.

Yes, I do agree. The look is quite weird.

AFAIK, these were available in the 90s and I think the maker was a German company.

These keycaps were called 'RTS keycaps'.
