Title: Question about Realforce keycap
Post by: Chojo31 on Mon, 28 March 2011, 10:53:26: I'm sure the question was already answered in another thread but I could not find it.

Where can I buy keyscap for the Realforce? I will get the white one and I want black keyscap on it except the letter keycap (a-b-c-d-e-f etc)

I know that the HHKB can fit, but I can't find home delete arrow keycaps...

Sorry for my poor english hehe and thanks for the respond!

Does Gmarket offer the same stuff as Leopold or is it just some items?

Edit : I did click the numbers and added and exception for firefox, but no popup windows appeared... strange.

Post by: Shuki on Mon, 28 March 2011, 12:50:56: Ah, its working now. However it only shows the A-Z plus alt and \|. Also not sure if I can order directly from leopold, would probably have to order through Gmarket and I can't seem to find keycaps on their site.

http://www.buyfromkorea.kr/ (http://www.buyfromkorea.kr/)

Shame the white ones are out of stock. They are only $40 though! With broker fees and shipping it might be ~$80 or so (just a guess from that website - I didn't get an actual quote). Not bad!

Post by: keyboardlover on Tue, 29 March 2011, 06:12:57: They're dye-subbed PBT (awesome) and (to my knowledge) you can't get them anywhere else. Also buying a set of HHKB keys from Elitekeyboards costs about the same or maybe even more. When they get a white set in, I will definitely go for it. Definitely a fair price IMO.

What I DON'T get it why they sell the 87U and 104U keyboards but only keycaps for the 86U and 103U. LOL.

Yeh, I'm thinking I will order a set of white caps as well if they come in stock. Would probably just replace the numbers and letters and just leave all the modifiers black.

Post by: digitalleftovers on Tue, 29 March 2011, 11:55:48: So, I have heard that there are topre key sets in other colors, besides black, white, and yellow. That ilovex board had orange keys, and I have seen a part number for a blue set, too.

Does anyone know where the colored key sets can be obtained? Taobao hunting?
