Title: Topre MX stems?
Post by: mintypeach on Sat, 29 May 2021, 12:22:19

Hello,
I have a topre keyboard on its way and my only concern is keycaps. Topre compatible keycaps are incredibly hard to find for anything other than the hhkb layout which isn't the end of the world. But I was looking into MX stems/sliders and I can't find any that don't have some known concern-able issues. I've seen some that are incredibly scratchy, some that have key tilt (????) and just other poor performance issues. My question is essentially are there any available that don't have some sort of weird deal breaker type issues? Not the end of the world if I have to just use the OEM caps but it'd just be nice if I could have the option. Thanks!

Buy a novatouch for aftermarket prices and mod your Topre keyboard to fit them and profit. Otherwise there is not a other option. I don't really mind the stock key-caps they are good and nice enough not to need to swap.
