Definately interested, but purchase depends on price. I'm sure you'll post something approximate when this moves to a Group Buy. I'll keep watching.

Thanks,
John

Honestly a topre set is already about $122 shipped from EK. I wouldnt mind sitting out on a MX groupbuy just to have enough money for this.

« Reply #202 on: Tue, 12 June 2012, 11:57:13 »
Will this set fit on a Realforce 103UB 55g. When I try and compare the image on the Elite Keyboard site with the picture of these caps in the OP, they looks slightly different on the bottom row. Am I seeing something wrong?

*** Edit: I now see the OP says 104 and the kb I mentioned above is a 103 key. Is that the difference? If, so, where can I find a 104 key RF? ***


Thanks,
John

The 104u has an extra windows key on the right side, so the spacebar is slightly smaller than the 103u's.

No worries.......as I have a black topre that desperately needs these keys.

We need to start making keys regularly for Topre's.

I guess is time for you to get an update from Topre. They are not wiling to make a special run, because according to them they need to build a keyboard as well (they have some weird manufacturing process, that tied up 1 board to 1 keycap set). Do not ask me why, but that is the way they manufacture their products. Some of you may ask, but what about those colorful sets are they tide up to a board? I asked the same question and I got no replay.

I bet once this baby starts I think this might be the BIGGEST keyset order yet.  Because as much as I love the CherryMX switches the Realforce is something that just touches you in ways you can not imagine.

Has anyone thought about buying blank topre keycaps and giving them to imsto or qtan to dyesub for us?  That might be our best bet for getting an RA set before the Mayan apocalypse.

Does Topre sell blank white keycaps? SP doesn't make Topre keys in case anyone didn't know.

Apparently Brian from EK replied to this thread before the crash mentioning that Topre supplied a sample of red printed keycaps and the colouring was too pinkish/magenta.
Ill update this thread a bit later with latest numbers. I remind Topre of it from time to time. If the next new product to come from Topre is *not* something to do with these keycaps, then I'd be very surprised.

Don't think so mate....103u has a funky bottom row...it will work with 87u or 104u though.

Just did a check and the only difference between 103 and 104 for keys is the spacebar and the extra Win key. So if produced, I don't think you'd be disappointed.
