Title: Exotic topre keycaps
Post by: phetto on Sat, 16 March 2013, 23:00:54
Hi guys, I recently got a hhkb and I absolutely love it.

I wanna pimp it out, but the only thing I could do really is adding coloured sets and clickclacks, isn't it?

or is there any other novelty caps?

don't bother with novelty keycaps. you must meditate on oneness with cup rubber. transcend novelty and become a topre monk.

Oneproduct had a whole 87u keycap set candy coated by niqmods, but that was pretty expensive.

Topre key chains has HHKB key and Realforce key. Or you can find exotic keys on 002 Topre collection photos on Deskthority.

Agreed... though one novelty key on the Esc is usually fine.

why don't other companies produce topre keycaps? not even special ones, but different colors/fonts etc.

yeah must be. so i'm assuming mr click clack and the bro bot guy can't do legally? not that i care, but i'd love to know why the only place i can buy keycaps is from EK at some ridiculous price + shipping + taxes. grr.
