Title: White HHKB Modifiers
Post by: Doluded on Wed, 10 May 2017, 16:27:03
I just got a new HHKB and I can't seem to find any white modifiers anywhere. I don't mind the grey ones but if someone could help me to find some blank white modifiers I would be so happy. Thanks guys <3

Don't think full white ones exist, though you could buy a set of mods from an artisan.

Artisans only, but white are far, far and few between.

I assumed so. I'll probably end up contacting someone to make me some possibly.

You know the colored RealForce sets?

They made a white one but I've only ever seen 1 person with it :confused:

If you can find one of those you'd have the janky right shift but it's all white.

**** me, I wouldn't have a fun time searching for one of those. I'll definitely keep an eye out for them, thanks swotch!

then you'd just need to find a JIS set to get the short right shift lol, too easy

i've seen a couple of people using white enjoypbt/gateron sets with MX sliders on their HHKB and from the photos it looks pretty clean, however in reality there would likely be a colour mismatch

God ****ing damn it those are gorgeous. I'm gonna try to keep the modifiers topre, I'll just find out if someone will help me out and maybe I can commission some from an artisan. Or I could buy these ones but who's kidding that might be a while if at all.

Wish you the best of luck with the white set. I've been looking for some Realforce English sets (red and blue) for a while now. I have heard that there are no plans to offer them anytime soon.

i'm lucky enough to have both of those sets, but you're right when you say they're not planning to do any reruns

Yeah, I talked with Brian from EK recently about it as well. He said that they try to get stuff in but either it takes forever (and he is never given a firm ETA) or they just tell him that they do not plan on making certain stuff any longer. I am waiting to add another 87U for my home computer and have been waiting for EK to get some more 55g's in. Brian told me that the new RF RGB keyboard is taking almost all of RF's resources right now and they keep delaying his ETA on the 87U's and other RF Topre stuff.
