Any discussion about FC980C compatibility?

Any chance you will be able to order individual keys? Since for example, an fc660c needs 2x 2.25u shift keys.

As the title is "Set for RF/HHKB" and the mold makes the full set in one go (see the OP), I'm going to say it's highly unlikely.

Just get a HHKB

Already have an HHKB. I like the 980C better.

This IC started in September well before the 980c was released so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Well, I hope for you lads that JChan is feeling very generous

To support it you need at least one more R4 1u and 3 1.25u (a shape that isn't currently in the mold). That would still leave you with a mismatched numpad. You'd need the two different numpad 2u (new molds) keys and 4 more R1 1u keys to even it out. That's 10 more keys (with 3 new key types) in total to support the 980c. Now, you could argue that Realforce fans would benifit from the four extra R1 1u keys for their function row, but if you want that 'complete' look on the 980c it would clock in at 14 keys total. The fact that there isn't a set of keys for the Function row in the current mold makes me think that chances are extremely slim of getting any more keys added for the 980c

Maybe for the next run, if this one does well.

robbles · « **Reply #167 on:** Sun, 12 March 2017, 00:30:02 »

Hoping the delays are due to Rama and jchan collaborating on the HHKB upgrade kit that he's been teasing at for a while.

menuhin · « **Reply #168 on:** Sun, 12 March 2017, 07:57:57 »

I'm still interested.

My guess is that they're both busy with their own projects and collaboration and this project is not really their priority.
Jchan's busy at the XDA keycap set, the new GMK muted keycap set, and many other products on his web store.
Rama has his aluminum case projects, and is getting deeper into the Artisan scene - which sells at lower volume but of much higher profit margin.

I hope this set has the TMX cap stems - and hope they can also fit the Novatouch MX compatible stems.
Hope they understand that this set can be manufactured in mass volume and does not require as much labor intensive key-by-key work.

brianjking · « **Reply #170 on:** Sat, 25 March 2017, 12:29:34 »

OMG, YES! I'm definitely interested especially given the price! Based on the image below are you saying that kingrama is making magenta Wave caps that are topre stems? This makes me even more excited if so!

Show Image

Based on the sample photos, and info from jchan, it seems that Rama allowed a couple of his designs (wave, X, and O) caps to be included in the set. Not sure about him making them available separately though.

libertycannon · « **Reply #172 on:** Tue, 04 April 2017, 22:54:52 »

rama uses wave caps on all his renders but they are mx stems.

Is it going to happen?

joelfong · « **Reply #174 on:** Sat, 08 April 2017, 16:10:40 »

It would be great if this does happen. Would also be nice to see colours that are less bright though. That said, yellow is nice.

As someone that has switched to MX sliders, I'm more interested in the alu case. That said, this is still some good ****

Well even if KeyClack isn't doing much with it, it seems someone else is:

https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/collections/keycaps/products/electrostatic-capacitive-pbt-keycaps?variant=39148928525

I believe "Green" is the teal color shown in the pictures, seems to be focused on HHKB modifiers, not RF87 or RF104. Actually it's missing a few more keys to fit HHKB entirely, but it's progress

the_marsbar · « **Reply #187 on:** Sun, 18 June 2017, 10:07:46 »

I ended up ordering some blanks from HKP. He has some very nice spacebars in my opinion.

I'd still want these though...

I'll have some of these this week I do believe and will post some photos if I remember. I believe kbdfans also plans on getting more colors and more rows so you can fill out an entire HHKB sooner than later.

Undergroundflaw · « **Reply #189 on:** Mon, 19 June 2017, 22:44:00 »

I'll be interested to see some pictures when you get them to check out the color. I've been looking for a good mod set, but if it's too green I'll hold out for a more blue set.

Damn... I hadn’t seen this project before. Seems like a significant amount of time was put into it too..

And even Rama was working with it 2 years ago...

The Topre set area is so barren right now, everything kbdfans puts out for alphas look like garbage except for the blank modifiers.
