I wonder if topre even has molds for those keys?

True actually, I hate how big the Realforce TKL boards are so HHKB2 is the only one for me at the moment.

They'll certainly have a mold for the FN key since it's just a standard 1x key. I'm not sure what the relative size of the HHKB right shift is. Looks like 1.75x.

Could someone with a HHKB2 verify this please?

How come the OP hasn't been updated for so long?

I'd like to register myself for one set please! Any updates on the situation? 75 seems like a decent number for an interest check.

Updated OP - sorry about the delay.
We're up to 85 now and I think that's actually less than the amount who have registered their interest because of the rollbacks that geekhack has had recently.
If you have registered your interest in the past and you cannot see your name on the list, please post and I will keep it updated.

Topre are aware of this interest check and we keep them updated with the numbers :smile:

You can add me to that list but I want it priced at least somewhat similarly to the other Topre keysets. Honestly it should be them just deciding to make it and sell it for $110 just like the rest.

Same here, but of course we are all waiting for that all important Paypal address for payment.

Would a white key with the red "A" in "reAlforce" be possible to make?

I don't see why not.
I mean, technically they could do it. There are white keycaps with red and black ink on the Fujitsu Axess MCR.
Convincing Topre to make them though could be an exercise in futility :smile:

No, it isn't!!! That link is for the GB for regular old MX switches, not Topre.

Definately interested, but purchase depends on price. I'm sure you'll post something approximate when this moves to a Group Buy. I'll keep watching.

Thanks,
John

Honestly a topre set is already about $122 shipped from EK. I wouldnt mind sitting out on a MX groupbuy just to have enough money for this.

Will this set fit on a Realforce 103UB 55g. When I try and compare the image on the Elite Keyboard site with the picture of these caps in the OP, they looks slightly different on the bottom row. Am I seeing something wrong?

*** Edit: I now see the OP says 104 and the kb I mentioned above is a 103 key. Is that the difference? If, so, where can I find a 104 key RF? ***


Thanks,
John

The 104u has an extra windows key on the right side, so the spacebar is slightly smaller than the 103u's.
