Title: Color Keycaps For HHKB?
Post by: Hyde on Sat, 27 October 2012, 12:48:20

I noticed they sell color keycaps for Topre Realforce but I don't see any for HHKB.  Or is it possible to salvage the extra keys or number pad keys and make shift to fit into HHKB?

Look like the short right shift will be the biggest issue isn't it?

Yup, you're right about the right shift but for me, you can hardly notice it.

And you can use any of the blank RF keycaps from EK (link (http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access#toprekeys)).

Ohhhh cool !!!  Btw which key did you end up using for the right shift?  Caps Lock?

Or you could use the stock modifiers if you don't want blanks

Sorry for the crappy pic as usual
