does trackcap.com still ship stuff?

#1 Post by astral » Fri Jun 16, 2023 12:18 am

i've heard trackcap.com recommended as a source for getting the older style trackpoint caps for thinkpads and i see they've got the right ones for all sorts of other brands that could be of use as well. just concerned about it as the site's clearly not been updated for a long time, copyright still says 2010 on it. recommendations i've seen are as recent as 2020 though. has anyone ordered recently and has your order actually arrived?

First time i became aware of this company, and have no experience with them.

Got a few softrim caps a while back ago for a T480 from here and couldn't be happier:

Looks like they use Paypal, which should offer you two layers of protection if you pay with a credit card should something go wrong.

They never replied. Suspect it's dead. Which is a shame because I've run out of the older style caps!
