Damn wish orange was that price... :*(

They saw my classifieds post and said "no son, you will not be able to sell your item"

As a buckling spring user, I'm so used to the idea of dyesub PBTs going for 20-30, I can't ever imagine myself buying Imsto Cherry dyesubs or Topre dyesubs.
methinks topre users ought to get together and pay for Imsto to build some topre moulds. If unicomp can make money selling dyesubs for $25, I see no reason why Topre can't make money selling its dyesubs for $50. When you consider that Topre keycaps are roughly half the price of Topre keyboards at EK, EK's margin is probably pretty high on keycaps.
Maybe like some businesses, they sell the keyboards for a modest markup, and make the serious dough selling keycaps and peripherals like keychains.

Thanks for posting this, grabbed a set of blanks.

Did anyone else catch Brian's mention that topre had stopped key cap production?

There is a separate Topre version, but Topre has put keycap manufacturing on hold, so it may not see the light of day.
I noticed, and I'm not even a crazy topre fan.
-
Well the thought of blanks not being made either 1. For a while or 2. Forever, either way scared me. So I ordered orange blanks! :) the pinks are twice as cheap though!
-
Maybe it's a year end sales booster :eek:

I reached out to Elite Keyboards about some of their Topre Keycaps. Here's their reply:
"Topre has stopped production of additional keycap sets. So, most likely they will not be available again."
Sucks!!

Damn! Lucky I bought white and orange blanks! I need to find those greens ;x

I ended up snatching up a set of orange keycaps, and they'll arrive later this week. I would still like a set of white or blue printed keycaps, but I am doubtful that I'll be able to get those without paying an arm and a leg for shipping via a proxy...

Nice! My orange arrive later this week too! You'll see white pop up now and then here

I'll be sure to post in the classifieds once I'm eligible. I'm guessing whites won't be that hard to get a hold of, since I could do a trade with someone for my blacks.

Possibly now or never! ;) blanks!

Perhaps discontinuing Topre sets because Cherry stem Topres are on the way?

But only for the FC660C, I would wager.
If only they produced generic Topre keycap sets in various colours, with the necessary extensions for RealForce, HHKB and FC660C!

I really wish they would do so too :( Lower prices would be nice too. Sick of having to pay $70+ for a set of thin PBT keycaps :P

Was going to pick them up, but apparently it costs $70 to ship to Australia lol.
Can't justify that much at all rofl.
Emailed EK to find out why it cost them so much to ship keys, and no reply lmao :(

Mine wasn't that expensive but man do they package it well! My HHKB felt SO secure when it arrived. If only everyone packaged keyboards that nice.

Wow, WTF lol.
Why do they charge so much for within the US :o
Surely they would make more profits by selling it for cheaper but a lot more quantity haha.
Whatever floats their boat I suppose haha.
'tis a harsh life

Probably because they are packaged very nicely in a big cardboard box, and you are paying for the size of the box rather than just the weight of the keycaps.
Same with the coloured pad-printed MX keycaps - $85 or something shipped in the plastic display case, but a GH member shipped me just the keycaps for a fraction of the price (and kept the display case for himself).

Don't wait too long on the printed pink set - as of this post there are only 6 sets left in stock.
