Does anyone know where I might find Japanese Cherry MX keycaps? I would prefer just Japanese legends with no english (probably doesn't exist), but I wouldn't mind a Japanese/English set. I've looked around, but I haven't found any separate sets besides Topre. Looking for ANSI, but all I've seen on Google so far are ISO sets that come stock on boards.
Has anyone ever seen a Japanese set in ANSI layout? If not, anyone know if it's possible to use the alphas from an ISO set on an ANSI board, and have everything covered/fit right?

There are some ANSI US MX keycaps on elitekeyboards, haven't seen japanese yet though.
I'll keep looking.
Probably need to check japanese websites, I am not finding anything.

Thanks for the reply! ;D
I have a few english/blank ANSI keycap sets already, but I like the look of the Japanese characters on the keys, so I was hoping I could find a Japanese set for looks. Same idea as the Russian Miami set I suppose?
I forgot to mention I don't like UV/pad printing because it wears.
Appreciate the help with my search! :thumb:

Here you go:

Don't know if it is what you want, but I found some JP keys so. :)
Scroll down, the first pics only show US keys.
I haven't translated the website or searched past that, but I bet you can find them on there... not sure. :)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I might have to look through Japanese sites and use a proxy to order.

I would love to see a group buy for an English/Japanese set one day!

Yeah, I am even interested in a set myself.
I need to start speaking japanese more often so I can knock off some rust and get fluent. :)
Here is the link on deskthority that provided the link I posted above:

This was a year ago and the people in the comment are talking about group buys too. :)

Bother IMSTO, he can probably help you get an ANSI+Kana GB off the ground
or do an IC or something
or get a 1 off

That's a good idea, I will have to think about it. I've never designed a keyset before though.

I think the ANSI 104 set is only English. The 108 set is the Japanese ISO layout. Too bad I don't have any ISO boards to put it on.
I wonder if enough people here would actually want a Japanese ANSI keyset.. something to think about. I'm probably too new around here to be organizing group buys though.

I'll be offering these in next groupbuy of dyesub PBT.

Nice!
But I guess you won't launch it until the BlackOnBlack dyesubs are sorted and shipped right? And I guess this will be a while....
-
No, I will start it next month anyway. I won't be using PLUM for them so it shouldnt take so long.

I'm definitely interested in a set! Any idea on the colours yet? I love the look of your Miami Odessa set.

Oh gosh, yes can we please get a poll or IC on color scheme?
-
There was IC thread here... since I still haven't moved on the full sets I suppose can just talk about choices further there still. Feel free to suggest fonts, colors, etc.
