Title: MX keycaps with Topre like texture?
Post by: LaPoune on Sun, 24 November 2024, 09:26:41

Been a while since I've been on here, I've been a Topre guy for 15 years, and recently switched to mainly MX keyboards. Main thing I miss is the texture on the Topre PBT Caps. Anyone know of MX caps with a similar feel?

Hi! I'm still kinda new, and have a quick question: I keep seeing HHKBs with a ton of custom keys everywhere, both photos I've seen people share here, and mockups for Key Sets sold on sites.

Is there an adapter, are topre key caps widely available, what's the deal?

There are a few makers out there that make custom caps for topre:

Amano Studio
Resin Party
HotKeys Project (they're pretty out of the game now)
Idea23
Tokkipee

Those are just some... there are a few more out there.

HHKB also recently released wasabi green on their official website, and previously had sakura pink & snow white (no longer available)
