Creating a standalone Topre switch-containing unit is most likely possible. But it would increase manufacturing costs dramatically. And as it stands, Topre isn't cheap in the first place. And anyway, there isn't a need for it. Nothing changes drastically between one switch weight and another. There is a spring to actuate (nothing to do with the force) and a dome (which provides all the force). If you wanted to switch to something else, you just swap a dome.
Look at this album and see if you understand how it works as opposed to other switches: http://imgur.com/a/eI8Il
Spamray was not trying to hate on you, merely inform you of your misconceptions.
That was what I was trying to get at. I understand how it works as I mentioned it earlier.
I just wanted an metal housing for my HHKB. But these images do help greatly. If the stabilizers in the realforce or Novatouch (when it comes out looks like its part of the frame though
) are similar to the HHKB's I don't see why I couldn't just steal them and refit them to a cut out.
1) Remove the HHKB's top shell cut, shave, melt, mold, and sand the edges then mount it to an aluminum housing like the kmac's (since the Stabilizer is the top frame itself)
[some exacto knives, dremel, plastic melting superglue, sand paper and some plastic spacers incase the controller doesnt fit]
2) Steal the Stabilizers from the realforce, sell the HHKB shell, measure and make my own cut out to hold the realforce stabilizers. and remount it in the aluminum housing and just add a layer if there isnt enough spacing. The kmac uses m3 or m2 screws in bot directions so I could just add a spacer layer (ghetto acrylic and paint)
