Blank Red Topre Keycaps From EK
« on: Mon, 08 August 2011, 14:41:29 »
I was looking at the red Topre keycaps from EliteKeyboards because i missed the group buy. I would put them on my HHKB Pro 2. Which keys would have to go where to make it work? Also is it even worth it?

How I justified the purchase: F1-F12 and number row give you 20+ blank esc keys...

Hopefully EK gets more in, and other colours in non-printed also like blue ;D

I kind of lucked out. This was kind of an impulse buy this past weekend. I saw most of the other sets sold out so I just ended up buying them. Maybe someone will do another group buy. I want some blue, orange, or yellow blank keycaps now.

I believe all the keys fit in their respective rows/positions. The exceptions are right shift and the backspace. Number row and function keys have same profile. Standard ctrl and alt keys are the same size.

Alt?

 
They both fit where the meta key goes.

Windows key or Context key fits there.

I wanna see a pic of that config with the Windows keys.

I can annoy Webwit with it.


There's a pic in my album of my white blank with the blank bubble Windows key.
