I'm guessing the new boards and the caps will be happening at the same time.

Yes that's correct.

Eagerly waiting for the new thick blank PBT keycaps and Matias' new innovation about stabilizers for Alps keycaps - hope it has good backward compatibility.

And hope you're aware of the new Alps clones manufacturers in China - I am a supporter of the original SKCM and SKCL 'pine' design, just saying.

Any updates on the keycaps? I would really love thick pbt keycaps for the custom keyboard I'm putting together right now.

Preorders going up any time soon, Edgar?

The ABS keycaps on my 6 year old Mini Quiet Pro are getting awfully shiny now...

Any update on this?

I've read in this other thread that there are PBT keycaps that passed tests!
I can't wait for PBT blanks for my keyboard! My ABS ones are really shiny too.

Yes, we were pretty sure we had all the production issues worked out on the last trip in November -- and then the pandemic happened, so now everything is in a holding pattern.

@Matias, Hi, I have been using the Quiet Pro for a few months, mainly because I needed the Numpad for work.
Then I also game on this keyboard and before I know it, the WASD keys are smudged. Is there a way to buy replacement WASD keys?

Nootz · « **Reply #611 on:** Thu, 18 February 2021, 12:02:21 »

Do you honestly think we'll be getting the new caps and boards sometime this year, or do you think next year is more likely?

Applet · « **Reply #612 on:** Sun, 29 August 2021, 16:55:14 »

Sorry for bumping, any updates on the keycaps?

We're still in a holding pattern due to COVID, unfortunately.

Will the keyset contain R4 '| \ ' and R3 Backspace/Delete keycaps?

I know matias keyboards don't use these keys, but there are definitely a lot of enthusiasts who love unix/hhkb layouts.

Applet · « **Reply #615 on:** Fri, 02 December 2022, 03:24:20 »

Hi Matias,

Just checking in, any update on this project you can share? I'd love for these to see the light of day.

Stay safe!

Yes, I'm in Taiwan again and we are still working on this. We're releasing a PBT mouse at CES next month (it was already shown at IFA in Berlin) and the keycaps with use the same PBT material.

We're testing out printing options for black PBT now. Printing on white PBT is no issue.

Yes, we plan to include those.

Glad to hear it!

What are you considering for the black PBT printing? I find the black on black works pretty well on the HHKB for example.

We're trying to do light gray or not-too-bright white. We have a few approaches but we're trying to determine which is best at scale.

so it's another three months. it's time to ask if there's anything new.
