Title: Topre Vi-keys, any color and print except gray/black
Post by: torben on Tue, 26 July 2011, 06:43:01
Hi,

I own a black Realforce 88UB and I'm looking for four Topre keycaps for the 'a' row, the keys HJKL.

They can be of any color and any print, doesn't matter if it's non-english letters as long as the keys fit the A-Row and aren't gray/black.

Have you received your 88UB from Keyboard Co?

Cactus: Yeah, I guess I could buy two sets and have one arrow pointing the wrong way.

I'd prefer a bunch of blanks though if someone has 4 keys of the 'a'-row laying around...

That option is not the best but is the fastest and the easiest. Topre keycaps are not like cherry Mx there are very hard to find and most of the guys are not willing sell just 4 keycaps. Most of these guys order a White (HHKB) full keycap set and they Rit dye there keycaps (Personally I do not like this option since the risk is to high). So if nobody is willing to sell you 4 of there keycaps, at least you know which way you can go.

P.S Maybe someone has some leftovers from there previous Rit dye experience.
