Will the realforce topre keycaps from EK work on a HHKB?
« on: Sun, 30 June 2013, 03:15:06 »
hope this hasn't been answered elsewhere and my search-fu just completely failed me.

i'm a proud new owner of a HHKB Pro 2 (black lettered) and i'm looking to pickup some colored keycaps for it. From what i can discern, elite keyboards is the only place that sells topre keycaps, but the only ones they have explicitly for the hhkb are the standard white and black lettered/unlettered. But they do have realforce keycap sets. Looking at pictures of the realforce, i imagine some of the keys won't fit, but has anyone tried it? do enough fit to make it worth buying?

Except for the short right shift, you have to use the spare capslock key with the LED window which ruins the look IMO.
