Get 'em while you can - rumour has it that they are no longer being made.

The red set is very tempting for me! Fits nice to a beige/white/grey set - i could imagine also only some caps or a number row in red.

That is not something I needed to hear lol....

So tempted to get a white Realforce set and dye it to resemble the 10th Anniversary set.......................

But alas, my wallet cannot handle right now...

I was thinking of buying a set for my HHKB Pro 2 but I've heard something about some of the keys not fitting. Can anyone clarify?

There is no complete coloured HHKB replacement set, just the white and black sets from EK (if they are still available).

I believe the RealForce sets will fit an HHKB, as long as you don't mind having some of the keys in the wrong places.

Yeah basically you have to cheat the short right shift with the number pad 0 key.  And maybe up arrow key for the FN key.

I always look at getting these caps but the price turns me off, then I start going down the path of thinking well should I just pay $40 more and get another FC660C.  :))

$66 more now. The cheapest place I've seen the fc660 now is on ebay for $216 now that EK now longer stocks them!
