There is some Hirose clears available in singles on ebay, https://www.ebay.com/itm/124874930697?itmmeta=01HYEAFNGS0SM4ERWCD4KS3B07&hash=item1d13203a09:g:qnoAAOSw1x1j1tK4&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwHNx99Q0Y74C7QCTDzTpnM3y1svqlyZt5lwW4L%2FUe6LZ7Da%2Fb62QbuK6CEyiUckOYHylChKbo3PZRVhtG%2B6YQP%2Fl1VhZQe%2BvfaaBOTAhdlZyx0O1IWtbB%2FufiGfA%2FWL5cXbck6pejKLBP5Bys3SquqfyqlP2buhr6j4MwoizVhKfJPEw%2FSdUo%2F1CyR7nkd4pYKLRt5a0lNRV5iD%2FNxcyktUUPl2apfFReq2m5IIZVJajgWNzb6aS1l7IjUbJ%2FJBBMA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8DYvsrzYw I can not vouch if these are legit or not. I did get a few Hirose oranges off ebay awhile back that were genuine, different seller though.

Thanks! Will take a look at it.

 

I don't know if this thread will be relevant, but here goes...

I decided to switch to my Model M for now...loving the crunchiness.

RN im using Akko ACR59 with Tecsee Shenpo/HMX Macchiato/Gateron Beers (i always change switches to not get bored of my board) and Dye-Sub Shenpo Beige keycaps
waiting for Neo80, to build it with some tactile switches (thinking about Holy Chickies), Hirose Orange on spacebar, FR4 plate and GMK Handarbeit

Very interested! 
On one of your old keycap performance sheets you list 3 different heights for the "Standard (M8)" profile, any possibility of you reviving all 3?

I've participated in a number of collectible hobbies over several decades.   Participating in the keyboard hobby for 3/4 of a year has been short-lived but enjoyable.   My touch-typing has more than doubled in speed,  I now own 7 keyboards with 2 more group-buys on the way, I gave another keyboard to my son.... I have 40% to 100% boards, Topre, Buckling-Spring, etc....  I probably am $3K-$4K into this hobby, but as far as hobbies go, that is low cost to be pretty immersed with key brands and technologies of the hobby.  Definitely no regrets, but I feel a bit like I've already hit the end of the internet with this one.  It definitely needs to go more upscale, somehow.  I'll still stay engaged, but there hardly is any next thing I seek.   The depth and breadth of the hobby is only slightly deeper than the vacuum collecting and snow blower collecting communities I've participated in... nothing like watches, cameras, knives, TV's, stereos, leather boots or even the barista coffee machine collecting communities, etc....

This may be an unpopular keyboard opinion.
