Can you buy them separate, not with keyboard?

I don't think they're sold. And, besides, they wouldn't fit a regular Topre board, anyway. The Hi Pro switch housings are taller in order to accommodate the special caps.

They fit a regular board just fine. I've personally done it on the keyboard I'm typing this comment on right now.

The problem is there's theoretically more 'wobble' introduced, which honestly is the same amount of wobble with the housings anyway. I didn't notice a difference.

As for OP's question, there's an artisan usually more active on reddit with the name busgamer7394. They have created entire hi-pro artisan sets. They're currently privately selling HHKB sets for $85 with limited availability, and will scale up from there for realforces and fc660c keyboards.

busgamer/idea23 most recently said the resin hipro sets will be available this month. /u/ayybasketballs is also working on a hipro resin set. I've been eagerly awaiting this for a while.

he did say that it would be on sale in like 2 weeks a few days ago. So keep your eyes open and it will be a raffle sale for sure. But hey it's just blanks i can touch type fine but it looks ugly IMO.

Busgamer also happens to be one of the extremely rare artisans in the community with dye-subbing ability. Just give it time.

I've heard Realforce Hi-Pro model will be discontinued soon.
I'm hoping this means its mold may be sold and reused elsewhere.

Also there is MT3 profile designed by matt3o which I think is owned by Massdrop.
Massdrop will surely encourage designers to create MT3 profile keysets.

In short, I think we'll be seeing more Hi-Pros in the future.

I wouldn't expect him to make a set with legends, that seems like an insane amount of work!

Also, I don't know if its possible to dye-sub resin caps.
