I'd say you shouldn't attempt to thicken the walls (or at the very least get non-thickened samples), as it'll likely make the keycaps feel noticeably more weighted than the stock ones that they're paired with.
maybe btc just loves thin flimsy keycaps!
personally i prefer thicker and don't mind the inconsistency, but quality mods in any thickness for hhkb would be more than welcome.

but halvreson your hos are way too thick.
stock topre is fine except i dislike it when the thin topre stem structure stuff underneath shows through for lighter colors or even semi-translucent caps.

i don't understand the spacebar part.
youre not allowed to make your own spacebar mold?
huh
with the 100 moq per color requirement, you'll probably want to branch out and advertise to the country-specific communities (like enjoyclick, kbdmania, etc). yellow/magenta/purple (and cyan to an extent) are all pretty polarizing colors, so just getting 100 from GH/MK/DT alone might be challenging.

Plans for 660C? :O
Plans for 660C? :O
Definitely want to support it so I'm looking into to it.
Looking to add spacebars too without breaking the $50per set cost.
Interested. I would also echo the previous caveats about thickness. Something I have admired about Topre keycaps for RF and HHKB is the way that the caps form an integrated functional unit with the Topre switches. It would be important to ensure that changing the thickness would not be detrimental to this functional integration.
Would love to have something for the FC660C if possible
Me too
FC660 adds too many keys. Will definitely do this in the future :)
Color me interested.
Will there be a color comparison next to each other?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Interested. Not a huge fan of the bright **** off colors on a HHKB, but interested.
On a side note, why is it HHKB/Topre cap makers seem to go for pale/faded/light colors? I notice a lot of pastel type colors.
What colors would you like seeing ? :D
Super interested to hear your opinion because I am a little bored of bright colors :P
What are the chances we can get a set for the HHKB JP? :)
I'm interested. PBT mods and at a good reasonable price of $50! Hot Keys is running a GB now but I'm guessing his is more hand made vs factory made. I hope the colours made by Joseph will be different so we all have many choices!
Come to think of it, Hot Keys are probably not even PBT!
Really? Then his price is extremely absurdly high!
Hot keys are factory made AFAIK.
Some Progress of where we are at. Coming soon ~Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/3D9zMEg.png)
A progress report please? :)
It sounds like you are not using any of the Topre boards at all. Do you?
So I've recently acquired a RF/HHKB/NT, and I freaking love it.
I hope there will be close collaboration with Topre enthusiasts for this project.
Who's gonna help you QC this stuff?
I've already reached out to Topre lovers & fanatics about this.
And I've reached out to someone who is very good at making prototypes/3D things to give me a hand.

Getting exciting now :)
I'm all up for a purple set and perhaps also a neon green set (which was available through Realforce).
With only the limited vendors of Topre key caps, you'll definitely have quite some interest.
The question is when -- when will this project be concrete for purchase and shipment?
GH people are good at paying first and waiting though.

I got a photo of the updated mold last night and it looks fantastic. We should start sample production soon and samples are about 10 days away.
We'll run some qc and comparative tests with some community members I've been talking with and move forward after that.

Glad you doing spacebars, I get why you were hesitant but it's really nice to have properly matched colours.I believe he made a custom HHKB case for Ramos on his IGShow Image(https://i.redditmedia.com/SXC6_Kbc1auW9Rt8ki6hG3ZgV1SZaLKXMXtCTXAcryo.jpg?w=768&s=969de7d91466e1e8bd91da51bf033135)

I'm kind of new in here.
My question is, how long do I have to wait?
i.e. For an Interest-Check like this one, assume the samples are decent and just need some fine-tuning, and then go onto scheduled production with a group-buy.
How much more time should I expect before (or when on the calendar in 2016 or 2017) I can have these caps in front of me ready for installation on my HHKB?
I know there are many tests of patience and gambles in GH, when compared to acquiring a keyboard in the consumer market outside.

There won't be a group buy I believe and we can have in stock items soon.
I believe we should have production caps READY in hand by end of November for XMAS shipping! :D

Nice to hear about the plan.
However, please don't rush things. I would rather to have everything checked and all things done right -- which is the most important to have returning customers.
Our (many Topre enthusiasts here interesting in this) money are already yours, so please sure the details work out nicely.
Thanks!
Is it weird that I want the white prototype set complete with sprue and channels? It looks like a model kit but for my hhkb!

Haha I think it's our inner kid wanting to take it apart.
Well , our current status is that the V1 come in on Tuesday without texturozation done. After that, we'll have the new samples shipped on November 10.
Got the samples in and we gotta adjust a few things!
But the samples feel good in quality and structure.

You know we want to see pictures, even if they are potato quality.
The ctrl/caps in the bottom left hand corner has a different slider - it is rotated.
If you end up making a set that's the same color as the white HHKB alphas I'd definitely have to pick up a set.
Blank white RF set too rare :'(
Spacebars are a + too if you're actually doing them.

Spacebars are a thing. We just have to make a few adjustments.
I'll take some potatoe photos tonight of everything I have. I have to make a few adjustments to the mold itself.
HHKB alphas? Hmm, We'll try our best to try to match the colors, but it's always hard to match it 100%.
Any new updates :) ?
I am not sure if it was mentioned in this thread anywhere but there is one major problem that might occur with the RF sets...
The ctrl/caps in the bottom left hand corner has a different slider - it is rotated. You will need to probably have a separate cast for this one key (sorry if this was mentioned somewhere).
Samples are looking good.

Mold is being fixed again to double check tolerances. I told them to redo it. It was annoying seeing the 1st samples so double checking is necessary.

Any chance you will be able to order individual keys? Since for example, an fc660c needs 2x 2.25u shift keys.

As the title is "Set for RF/HHKB" and the mold makes the full set in one go (see the OP), I'm going to say it's highly unlikely.

Well, I hope for you lads that JChan is feeling very generous ;)
To support it you need at least one more R4 1u and 3 1.25u (a shape that isn't currently in the mold). That would still leave you with a mismatched numpad. You'd need the two different numpad 2u (new molds) keys and 4 more R1 1u keys to even it out. That's 10 more keys (with 3 new key types) in total to support the 980c. Now, you could argue that Realforce fans would benifit from the four extra R1 1u keys for their function row, but if you want that 'complete' look on the 980c it would clock in at 14 keys total. The fact that there isn't a set of keys for the Function row in the current mold makes me think that chances are extremely slim of getting any more keys added for the 980c :)
HHNNNGG everytime I see that HHKB case...What gb was that case from?

I believe "Green" is the teal color shown in the pictures, seems to be focused on HHKB modifiers, not RF87 or RF104. Actually it's missing a few more keys to fit HHKB entirely, but it's progress :D
Damn... I hadn’t seen this project before. Seems like a significant amount of time was put into it too..
