I just wish the Unicomp keys were two-part keys like the Model M uses.

I recall contacting the people at Unicomp to ask about their keys, and
received the answer that no, they were not double-shot, but
laser-engraved and should be very durable.
On my 1992 IBM Model M most of the key caps are removable but some are not.
Notably, wider keys such as Backspace, Enter and the big + on the numeric
pad don't have removable caps. They're like the Unicomp Wide Keys.
