Title: Elite Keyboards Topre Keycaps... Do they really fit on Topre Realforce 86u?
Post by: earloflondon on Sun, 08 May 2011, 02:16:17

Hi mates

I wonder if the Elite Keyboards' Red "Esc" for Topre Keyswitches (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys&pid=hh_redesc) and Lavender WASD for Topre Keyswitches (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys&pid=hh_wasd) would fit a Topre Realforce 86u mechanically (I think should as they need to snap on a topre switch, but I'm not sure as never tried) and visually (I mean do the keycaps stand below or above, or do they look exactly the same?).

Cheers

This question has been asked before. They're apparently even the same mold. They look like they came with the keyboard. Probably because they almost do. >.>
I've lurked this forum pretty hard, and I've never heard of somebody complain about Topre keys.

Rigs said the texture of the whites is different.  See how in that pic the reds and the blacks are the same?  Where the purple is a bit different.

I think he's seeing things.  Optical illusion.

Yup, those lavender ones definitely have different texture.

Heh, thanks but my collection isn't as good as say Ripster's, iMav's, Sixty's, etc.  Just a small humble, but growing, collection. =P

White keys have a smooth key texture similar to the texture of the right shift & the spacebar.
