You can use the ones for the realforce, some keycaps are not perfect match but most of them have the right profile.

I don't think there are any Torpe keycaps, they are "Topre".

I think he was referring to the "Thorpe" post earlier.

Thorpe switches FTW.  Two Thumbs Up.

However, there are not the myriad of choices of replacement keycaps for Thorpe, as there is for Cherry, since Thorpe's already come with great keycaps (except the sh!tty ABS space bars).  Mad Face.

I suppose i let myself in for critisism with the typo, but okay, i was just trying to get some more caps for the looks.

But looks like im just going to have to fill it up with CC's!

Haha Good luck with that :)

Assuming 1 topre cc is $100

60 Keys on a HHKB

100x 60 = $6000

This has been done.

Really.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

CC has made modifiers, but they never went for sale. I've seen blood splat patterned mods from CC before. I'll see if I can find it later

FYI I found it.

Look closely at CC's HHKB bottom row. He has a brown on black "X blood splat" modifier. I saw and was intrigued, and asked him about it. He told me yes he did make modifiers, but I think those were mostly prototypes he kept himself.

This.

Totally.

And, if you look closely, the bottom of the "L" in "Click" below the keyboard, the yellow keycap looks like 1.25x modifier.
