The never ending interest check because Topre either: 1) doesn't want to make money or 2) can't get their red dyes right......yes, yes it is.

they will probably never make a hhkb compatible set so you'd be stuck with the wrong legends on fn and rshift

We can ask Brian from EK to bug them, since he is in contact with them, to add just that one right shift to their sets. I am sure it wouldn't be difficult, but who knows...

Brian is already selling coloured key-sets on his website.  And he's not going to lift a finger to see 'us' have a choice in getting a specially designed key-set for our Topre's.  Why would he?

He's got all the current Topre traffic coming to his website hence why would he risk doing anything to STOP that, in these difficult trading times?

it would be awesome (just like if this IC ever took flight) but brian has waxed frustrated on dealing with topre in the past...

This doesn't make any sense. How would adding more selection to his inventory stop anything? Seems you are making a lot of assumptions before knowing any facts.

'Difficult times' lol.....

I would think that if topre or leopold or whoever actually owns this stuff wanted to have caps with white text, they would already exist.

That would make 96, although I suspect that half the people on that list have departed.
"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

Since this thread got resurrected anyway, I guess I might as well ask. Does anyone know how these sets were planned to be produced? Did Topre take custom orders back then?

Which is why I've made my autolock threads after 6 months of inactivity and requesting a mod unlock it if it needs to be unlocked suggestion.  The only places I see it maybe not being relevant is the media and making things subs.  It would get rid of a lot of situations like these.  If someone wants to rez them, it requires them to do some work or make a new post linking to the locked thread.

Mod Edit: This thread is three years old and definitely defunct.  Sorry folks.  Locked.
