I wish I had a few white blanks :( I don't know how you guys use full blanks of the same color for the top row!

Looks like dustinhxc & I purchased some orange keycaps from EK about the same time  :D

I ended up putting mine in a slightly different arrangement on my Realforce 87U.  Adding those keycaps was purely a functional reason, since I occasionally have trouble typing the numbers with the black on black keys.  The rest of the keyboard is no problem.  I ended up really liking how the splash of orange looks though!

I'll play around with that.  I know it won't look nearly as cool since mine are printed compared to your blank caps, but maybe it will work.  Thanks for the advice guys :)

lol.  Yeah, I've been looking for a Candy Corn Fn key since forever.  I know there were several made, but I've not been able to find one.  Total production numbers, I have no idea, but I would bet very limited, since you never see them.

Ah, so it is not for HHKB, meaning the Right Shift is not completely in place, is that right?

HHKB Only made Light Grey and Black. Printed and Blank.

Realforce Sets fit great, feel great, look great. You just have to figure out which keys look best to you. The right shift and right function will be a slight lesser angle then the entire row if you use r3 caps like I did. I think r3 caps look best in that spot. Feels fine though.

Changed things up today ~ HHKB went back to being standard clean, but 660C got some custom looks on the bottom row. Just put them on as they fit. Turned out alright. Could've used blanks instead of dome keys, but they were on the RF 87U so I didn't bother. Same thing applies to the Lime Green key on the HHKB; I could've gotten a key of same profile but they were all on the RF 87U.

i have a question for the spacebar flippers out there: do you type with your wrists down? i can't think of how the spacebar would ever feel sharp if you type with your wrists up so that's what i'm assuming is the issue.

Yeah. I type with my wrist down, which is a factor. Another factor is when I type, the end of my thumb is almost parallel to the spacebar, even when using my wrist rest, which raises my hands, so having it flipped still helps my thumb land more naturally. Having small hands would be another factor, I think. I assume this would not be the case for everyone.
