Title: Where to find Topre (HHKB) modifier sets?
Post by: sleepy on Tue, 13 March 2018, 14:23:39: Hello, this is my first post (apart from a hello thing), so I apologize if this is in the wrong board or place.

I'm looking for some pastel colored HHKB modifier keycaps; I've looked on KBDFans, but they only have a full set of alphas and a few (not all) modifiers.

I've seen a few people with artisan modifiers but I don't really see where those are bought from. Is there a place that people can go to purchase these? Should I be messaging the artisan creators? I'm just wondering how I should go about this. I'd really love to have some cute modifiers for my new blank white HHKB!

Thank you!! I tried posting on there (/r/mechmarket) recently but didn't seem to find anything. Should I just keep trying?

I also found ]https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys[url] (https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys[url) - I have only heard positive things about their key caps, though I have never used them myself.

I took a look at that link and it doesn't seem like they have many pastel colors, and even the ones they do have that are a bit purple-y are out of stock. Maybe it looks different because I'm in Canada?

Makers I can think of are KeyKollectiv, AeroKeys, Death Caps (i think), and Mitchcapped. Those are all going to be resin and I think only one or two of them are still actively making mods.

If you have no luck finding resin mods you can also get dyed mods for a much lower price. /u/crj3012/ on reddit makes dyed mods by the order on mechmarket. I dont know if he still does but I recommend checking that out.

Thank you for your help :) I talked with /u/crj3012 and he said that due to ordering he can only do full HHKB dye sets now, so that's a bit too expensive for me. Death Caps also told me that he might have a store open soon! So I can look forward to that maybe. I've also reached out to Mitchcapped.

Again, thank you! This community is very welcoming.
