Hey.

Thanks.

Ti G4 -> pismo, yes. I dunno about the wallstreet, however i think it should be possible for that as well.

Oh, the colours are all different tho.

Have you actually tried putting Tibook keycaps on a Pismo? Because I'm pretty darn sure they won't fit...

You can try http://www.wegenermedia.com/pismop.htm for a new set or individual keys. They're friggin expensive for itty bitty pieces of particularly-shaped plastic.




<edit> oops. Wrong site. Where did I see those... in any case, you can get a whole stupid keyboard replaced if ya want.

The only other keys that fit a Pismo are those from clamshell iBooks.

Wallstreet keys are thicker (I think), TiBook keys are thinner (for sure).

Sorry, i didn't check for the depth of each key. But i just did that, and they DON'T fit on the pismo.
