As the samples are made one by one by hand, they are not perfect. When it is purchased in a group, we will make a mold of dye-sub to ensure the quality!The keycap is compatible with most topre interface keyboards

Since there is no 1.25 and Japanese ISO enter in the mold, short spacebar, the production time of these two kit needs to be at least 70 days, and the base kit ，spacebar kit，vim kit，jp kit， will be delivered one month after the end of the group purchase. If the orders are particularly large, the delivery time will be extended

Yes topre switches

Will the japanese kit be available for MX switches?

This kit needs the 7u spacebar to support Realforce 86U, 103U, and 101 series and to support enthusiast fans of the WKL layout for the Norbaforce or XRF who don't want to deal with MX stems.

Stepped Capslock with Center Stem would also be a very good.

Let's wait some time for 7U and 6.25u. There is no spacebar of 7U and 6.25u in this mold.

Good idea. The next group purchase can be added to EPBT9009.

That will be great. 6.25u will also mean compatibility with Realforce R2 and Realforce RGB. Very smart.

I think you will sell very well. Hopefully the PBT does not tend to warp too much. I would rather pay more for top quality.

+1 would love a proper 7u PBT spacebar for my 86U!

I can't wait to get this set! Finally some good looking Topre keycaps that doesn't cost an arm

Yup, I'm interested.

Who knows... it might cost an arm.

Hopefully not, though.

I don't even own a Topre board (yet) but I'm hyped about this. I've got a couple of questions though:

R2 Control/CapsLock alt icon: why use "^"? I really like the downward arrow that was on GMK 9009 R2 and on many German Cherry sets like here.
R3 1.5u backspace: Why use this <X| icon instead of the simple and clean arrow that is on every other backspace key in the set? Never liked this big boxy icon for some reason.

Thanks for giving Topre users an alternative, looking forward seeing how this turns out.

Sample looks good! Nice to see FC660C support

I’d also prefer the simpler backspace icon as opposed to the boxy one.

ye_cole · « **Reply #18 on:** Wed, 25 July 2018, 17:55:07 »

Two suggestions-

For the base kit, the R3 1.5u backspace- Can you make that the same as the regular backspace?, the 2.25u R4 backspace? (ik its been said before but +1! definitely a factor on if I'm in or not!)

Also, can you make a different colored accent/spacebar add on kit? Perhaps pink, purple, or blue accents would be nice. (especially purple!)

Thank you.

enrique.aliaga · « **Reply #19 on:** Wed, 25 July 2018, 19:09:30 »

IMHO, the 1.5u backspace key looks great as is, with the box-shaped legend. Reminds me of the AEK.

I see in that samples that some of the legends have been redone (number row, bottom row) with much thinner fonts. Is this going to be fixed? I mean, fix the rest or fix the already changed ones...

tunadesu · « **Reply #23 on:** Fri, 27 July 2018, 18:01:09 »

Wow, free DHL shipping on orders over $100 is pretty nice

I reaaallly like it now. Much better than previous font.

Ordering base + VIM + pro + spacebar + JP-1 . RIP wallet

Hope quality is on par with stock pbt topre

Seconding this question. The contrasting fonts reduces the appeal of the set IMO-

Regardless, really excited to see someone finally making a go at full custom Topre sets.
