Title: HHKB Pro 2 Key Caps
Post by: scvml0rd on Tue, 19 November 2013, 19:00:18
I've been looking around quite a bit and I've been finding key caps for what it seems all the other switches besides my topre switches  :'(. I've gone through the keycap site list and can't really find much. Could any of you HHKB guys/gals point me in the right direction?? Or should I learn how to paint?  :))

EK

EK

is that my only real option? I have the red esc key. I wanted to pick up the lavender non printed WASD key caps but they're not in stock without an ETA unfortunately.

Topre caps are hard to find, EK is pretty much the only easy source.

EK is where I got my white blanks and where i plan to get other colors (from realforce)

Another alternative is to make 60 valuable and informative posts here, and create a WTB thread in Classifieds.

I think I remember hearing something about Topre not really producing so many keycap sets lately. I think that's why they've been out of stock for a while. I really wanted a lime green WASD, so I paid $25 to get it at a small store in Hong Kong because EK took forever and a day to get stock. Several months later....still out of stock

That's... discouraging. I was waiting for the lime green too, I guess I won't get my hopes up.

Haha yes I ordered and paid for them silly :p I got them yesterday! Guess I lucked out maybe they got a return or had 1 left in stock or maybe they just haven't updated the stock count on the website :D they are gorgeous. Didn't know they were light gray but I think I like it more then bright white.

They even have some coloured key options, I'm getting the red enter. I have a friend who is bringing one back for me. Glad to hear you say that, I'm really looking forward to it, I do a lot of number entry at work so it's going to be awesome.

Title: Re: HHKB Pro 2 Key Caps
Post by: Belfong on Tue, 26 November 2013, 03:18:23
Just checked...
Caps cost $78; shipping to Malaysia is $64  :eek:

Even if I have friends in USA, shipping and tax still totalled $15!

Yikes, I think it is cheaper for me to order via amazon.co.jp and have a proxy ship to Malaysia.

I can buy two set of caps!!!

Was going to recommend a proxy and amazon.co.jp. Whiterabbitexpress has a package forwarding option and apparently http://www.tenso.com/en/ is pretty decent.
Title: Re: HHKB Pro 2 Key Caps
Post by: Belfong on Tue, 26 November 2013, 04:00:16
Thanks,  I calculate the shipping via tenso.. it's around $12. Which is pretty reasonable. But as I was about to order it, I paused because I realised I have 4 set of key caps that I ordered (MX) from GB and paid and have yet to received them. Let me receive one before I buy another set. Poor HHKB..

The worse thing is that I have no view of the ETA too .. e.g. fen's white PBT key caps have reached him but he has not shipped it out yet. Ah, maybe this is a conversation that should be covered in the "it's in the mail" thread.

Anyway, I hope to one day get the white HHKB blanks.

Maybe I'm searching wrong, but I can't find any blank key caps on amazon.co.jp (I don't speak Japanese, so that might be part of the problem). What I really want are the lime green realforce blank caps. I might just give a shot at ordering them off EK later this week. They're listed out of stock, but you guys seem to be having pretty good luck, so who knows?

You not searching wrong there are no blank Topre keycaps on amazon.co.jp except the HHKB ones. I might have seen an orange set as well but can't remember.

The colored topre caps are for realforce's. The right shift on the HHKB is smaller than that on the realforce

I believe you flip the caps lock.

I think it's good to have both :) but if you know the layout then blanks are fine to have by themselves.

They are still usable.

Of course but who would want an incomplete set?

I believe you flip the caps lock.

Or use a random key that fits.

The colored topre caps are for realforce's. The right shift on the HHKB is smaller than that on the realforce
They are still usable.

In a stroke of good luck, my brother in law is going to Japan for training and I now can ship him a set of HHKB caps from amazon.co.jp .. my dileman\ is whether I should go for white/grey blanks or with legends. The one with legends looked 'busy' to me but many swears by the quality of the legends. I have a black on black now, so the blanks is my first choice. Would I regret not getting the white/grey legends?

I love my black on black and my white blanks.

So flipping the caps lock, does that make the key the same profile? I couldn't stand having a different profile shift. I'm really wanting blank greens for my hhkb that one it's way.. I ordered the blank white and also the blank black caps... haven't even gotten it yet, and I've ordered sets of caps.. damn Geekhack (and especially Dustin for having that hot ass board.)

Thank you ;) I just ordered the blank orange so I'll let you know! I just love the look of that tiny dot on the right shift :p (caps lock)

Yes, please report back as I would also love to use a realforce set if possible on my hhkb. Although from some pictures I've seen it looks like you can use the shorter right shift and it isn't too noticeable.
Like below:
Use blank like I do.  Everything fits except the right shift (you can see some gaps in the picture around that right shift).

These are RF87U/104U (that EK sells) keycaps on a Type-S HHKB.
