Custom HHKB color schemes: go nuts!

I think this is new ... have any of you noticed this?:

You can buy just the keycaps -- in all four configurations -- for the HHKBP2.  The price isn't bad (~US$45 per set), and I'm tempted to go completely nuts.

Given that this is on the Japanese PFU site, I suspect that it can only be exported via Crescent Shop and their ilk.  Nice timing for me, as this comes just as I was wishing that my HHKBP2 was featureless black rather than black-on-black ... plus I'm wondering what it would look like with grey modifier keys ...

Really!  I want some color once in awhile.  I've been using the black letterless for 6 months or so.  Having a dalmation one wouldn't be much of a change.  Or at least, not a cool enough change to warrant $45^

That's pretty cool, too bad they also don't sell the casing assuming you can change it out.


Speaking of HHKB, you guys know where I could get the cables to the original HHKB?

That green reminds me of something from the 70's. I am thinking an AMC Gremlin....
