If I'm getting metal money thrown at me there better be $1 and $2 dollar coins.

I contacted Topre via Alibaba - doubt I'll get any traction but lets see what they come back with.

That's a lot of nickels. You should post that pic at Deskthority.net.

Must have just come from a shift at the strip club...

Depending on the prices, I'm interested.

You must go to cheap clubs.

It's hard to give the stripper a nickel by biting with your teeth. They really like the Benjamins. Not the Thomas Jeffersons.

Of course I do, I have to save all my money for more keyboard pr0n.

Looks like it is a special 100 unit run and it is on pre-order now. Group buy?

rodya · « **Reply #60 on:** Thu, 16 June 2011, 09:19:58 »

Nice, except they're not really selling it. It's just promotional with purchase of the Type-S. And it's fecking expensive.

If this is all about posting stupid things I may look into another way of getting keycaps trough anybody willing to send me the Japanese sets.

I'm starting to be pissed off of all this **** posts here on Geekhack trying to emulate Ripster. STOP doing this spamnonsense posts everyhere you enter because you're not funny and you're not useful (Ripster is usually both things, funny and useful) so if you're not interested go away before ruining threads.

A bit of fun in the forums is sane but you don't have any control(I expect to see "I lost control" Ripster meme here)

@guilleguillaume
Sorry if I offended you or anyone else here, it was not intentional. HaveANiceDay and Ripster have both stated more than once that the correct thing to do is to find a Topre keycap manufacturer, and Ripster even suggested posting to Japanese forums, but it seems no one is willing to do the work of tracking someone down. For what it's worth, I'm interested in custom Topre keycaps as well, it's just from reading this thread, it doesn't look like it will happen.

You didn't offend me. It's just that there are some spamers here that are starting to be annoying and I got tired an just BOOM.

I contacted Leopold.co.jp asking about the chance of getting Japanese Keycaps. I will see if I get an interesting answer.

Sixty once in Deskthority said that Topre do Offer Custom Keycaps orders but they ask for a high MOQ and high prices.

Here is an example that I found lurking in Asian Keyboard Forums ( Don't remember where):

If there is enough people willing to pay for custom keycaps I'm totally in but we have to ask them first about prices and MOQ.

I'm sorry for not saving the page where I took the photos from the HHKB2. I think it was kbdmania or OTD but can't remember, was weeks ago, maybe I can look into my cookies but I search for too many things in a single day. Maybe If I found the page we can see who is this guy.

EDIT: I saw that I saved them on my computer the 7 of May so I "only "have to look into 14k searches made on May LOL

And.... I found that it was on OTD for sure. BINGO!

I am not pissed off. I am seting the rules in my thread.

My goal is to find and order cool toper keycaps. I do not like to read usless info. in my thread like: I don't like topre keycaps, this is bs, Etc. People posting this kind of usless info are not welcome here.

Several people around here have alot of experience, good ideas, and contacts. I invite these people to share that info here.

I have some other pictures of other custom keycaps made by Scarface. I have been trying to contact him, but since most of the Korean forums requires korean mobile number or korean id in order to register. I have not been able to get in touch with Scarface so far.

Thank you for mail.

I am sorry we have no plan to sell the Japanese keycap sets by Topre.

Coming soon on our website have not updated for now.

Our main item is FC200R 87keyboard, FC500R 104 keyboard, realforce87, realforce104.

We will send goods to you directly if you are interested.

Those look like a special order for workstation keyboards, used only for one program. Possibly professional video editing.
If I had to bet, I'd say Topre made it themselves and they were REALLY expensive.

Would the keycaps for a HHKB and a Realforce be any different?

I would totally be in for some cool modifiers, numbers, ESC, etc. as long as the prices aren't too outrageous.
