    Hey Topre lovers,

    jchan94 here with a small proposition of a project I'm looking to run. It's not really a "IC", more like a "Yo. This is happening, just wanted to let you know".

    Story

    So I've recently acquired a RF/HHKB/NT, and I freaking love it. I'm not huge on keysets (as much as others....) personally, but I do like having options.

    So I tried on /r/mm to find a few artisans for Topre, and low & behold... I found 2 keys from HKP for about $35 (expense). So being the person I am, I decided to drop a project or two that I was working on, and jump on this as soon as possible because this is something I'd love to make a reality.

    What I want to do

    We're looking to make Topre modifiers that are fully compatible with RF/HHKB.

    Where I'm at now

    So I've done a lot of legwork already because I like to know what I'm getting myself into and this is what I've done so far.

    • Obtained all the keys necessary for the full mod pack.
    • Talk pricing + the sampling work we need to do to ensure the product, and the process we need to take.
    • Establish contact with 3 factories in China that can make the mold + PBT injection molding

    What I need to do

    • Remake Topre Keycaps into 3D files
    • Adjust the thickness and walls of the keycaps to be thicker, and not have that "cross bar" in the stem side.
    • Verify the integrity of the multiple keycap files
    • Make ABS CNC'd samples of the keycaps to insure we have a good model before making a mold.
    • Distribute CNC sample to a few people who know their Topre
    • Pay for the mold to make initial production sample
    • Distribute samples to more people who know their Topre
    • Run GB for initial Purchase (limited sets for R1)
    • Then GB things later

    Pricing

    The most important thing of all is pricing. After the factory specifications I gave them, it was determined that the full price of the mod set that is 100% compatible with HHKB & RF, would be $50.

    Our MoQ is 100 sets per color, made of PBT.

    4 colors have been chosen for R1: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Purple. We'll finalize the actual colors based on pantone soon.

    Some Answers 2 your Questions


    The Most Important Part

    Quality will always be the top priority of this project. With all the sampling/people I've reached out to, I think that this project will go really well. The approval of the community members I've talked with about this project is vastly important to me, and important to the success of this project.

    What factory is this being made at?

    I have 3 lined up that have done work for: Hitachi, Asus, Hamilton Beach & Masterlock

    Is it really $50 for HHKB/RF compatibility?

    Yes

    Spacebar?

    Nope. I believe that we have to respect each other's projects in the community and that Matt3o is entitled to everything that the Topre Spacebar project was, is, and will be.

    What about Alphas?

    We have to finish this one first, but later it will happen. a WASD + ESC pack is highly probable, or even just an ARROW pack :).

    What will the keys be made of?

    Single Shot PBT with at least 1.3mm walls

    What about double shot?

    That will run the mold cost up by about 3-4 times.

    Will Dye Sub legends be an option in the future?

    Yes, but the current project is just PBT blanks.

    We already established contact with a dye sub factory that can do PBT, but QC/QA is a huge thing we have to tackle for non-fuzz legends.

    Can I get a sample set?

    A sample set costs $600 to produce (this is the cost for one off samples with the mold), so if you want to swallow that and have the possibility of "bad keys", fine by me.

    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.

    How are you doing this project with the other stuff you're doing

    I actually love working on Keyclack.com. Everything I do is choice, and the fact that I'm making something that our community members want, brings me joy honestly. I literally wake up and check emails, reddit, and GH.

    So don't worry. I'll put the hours into it, and make sure that my projects don't go bad. [/list]

    Your mention of yellow has piqued my interest, which has been registered.
    "Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

    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.

    That is very true, but if we attempt to make all the Alphas as well, it'd be great to have some thicker keycaps.

    But maybe we can just start with making replicas, then later adjusting it to make a full set.

    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 very much could. But since Matt3o already has one, I believe making another in the community is not only a waste, but straight up rude (unless he allows me to haha).

    I'll pm him and see!

    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.

    Most definitely! We will work with international  communities to reach the moqs and hopefully get more colors.

    Feedback shows that we will need to add red, blue, and green! Hopefully this works out.

    Green is a good idea! I like a shade more like lime personally, neon green if you would, but regular green would do too.

    If I could throw in another couple ideas out I'd suggest neon orange and teal ish (think basically the same colour as Jukebox modifiers)!

    I agree, Jason has been fostering many, many exciting projects and seems to be finding the success his business deserves. Now that Hydro is undergoing I hope these topre mods and Forare (Hylian legends ooooo) see the light of day some time soon!

    I have to say jchan94, your little business has blown up since you've started and you keep offering what the people want. Can't wait to see how these turn out!

    I agree, Jason has been fostering many, many exciting projects and seems to be finding the success his business deserves. Now that Hydro is undergoing I hope these topre mods and Forare (Hylian legends ooooo) see the light of day some time soon!

    Definitely want to support it so I'm looking into to it.

    Looking to add spacebars too without breaking the $50per set cost.

    With the FC980C potentially releasing in November, do you think it'd be possible to make an add-on set (or compatibility) for that keyboard as well?

    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.

    Of course, if we adjusted the thickness, it wouldn't change the function of the cap with the profile of the stock caps.

    However, we chose to stick to oem!

    Would love to have something for the FC660C if possible

    Me too

    FC660 adds too many keys. Will definitely do this in the future :)

    Stupid 1.25u  :-[ With the 980C coming out though 1.25u keys would definitely be welcome in the future  :thumb:

    I'm still in for at least 2 sets and with the option to purchase some singles (additional 2.25u left shift, and R1 1u) I should be able to get this to work on 660C's.

    Keep up the great work jchan, can't wait for this to go live!

    If there was green I'd be all over this, but with the current colors... Well, might be grabbing some purple.
    I hope there will be green and/or white in a future round
