I was just looking for keyboard switches. They are so not cheap!!!
Buy a complete beeb keyboard? then you'll have keycaps that should work too.

May even have a spare somewhere here.
That's exactly what I was looking for as it goes :) Not many on eBay right now though.

If you do have one let me know, happy to buy it from you :)

Cool thanks. That Beeb is plugged directly into that TV with SCART and the display quality is fantastic. Only cost me £10 as well.
