Title: Checkerboard HHKB
Post by: Creizai on Tue, 11 June 2013, 16:41:29

Anyone know of any pics of a White HHKB with black keys in checkerboard pattern?  Playing with the idea of buying a blank black set and doing it, but I 70$ is an expensive screw up.

You could always sell that HHKB caps at a little loss if you didn't like it.  Topre stuff seems to retain its value relatively well.

i think that is because only Topre themselves make their own keycaps...

I bought two keyboards just to have the same checker pattern.

By the time I saw that I already had a HHKB black printed. I wasn't about to step down and do that though looking back I guess I could have have gone with a Full size topre and did it.  I'm stuck on my HHKB Pro II and I prefer the blank minimalistic look but I'm looking for something to rice it out a little but still retain the classy colors and looks.  I guess a single torpe cc would do that too, I've got a buddy who's suppose to photoshop the image for me.  The real reason why I ask is because the modifiers are grey, if the keyboard was all white I wouldn't even bother making this post.

rough photoshop my buddy did for anyone who was wanting to know.. the bottom right white and black keys prolly need to be switched though.  Haven't decided myself yet.
