For better or worse, I’m taking the plunge with a Realforce keyboard.
I’d like to replace the Caps Lock keycap with a Control cap, because I’m very committed to the ancient and honorable Alt-Shift-Ctrl pattern on the left side of the board. That’s led me on a quest to search the world of Topre keycaps, which seems surprisingly barren.
It looks as if I can find complete sets for Realforce, but the sets wouldn’t give me the specific key I want. Elite Keyboards sells a few partial sets. EK’s “6-Key Modifier Set for Topre Keyswitches” would add color, but wouldn’t give me a Ctrl cap that’s the right size for the Caps Lock position.
Would the Control key in EK’s “Limited Edition Control and Esc Kit for HHKB” work to replace Caps Lock on a Realforce? (Kudos to HHKB for putting the Ctrl key where it belongs to the left of ‘A’.)
Are there any other sources I should be investigating?
