Title: ISO topre
Post by: stalingrad on Mon, 23 March 2015, 13:46:58

Hello,

sorry for the disturbance.
I am looking for a full sized topre keyboard with ISO layout (needs to have an extra key between left shift and z/y). Does anyone know where I can buy one? Keyboardco has some Topre Realforces but only as "45g Light Gold on Black Keyboard" version. I don't really like that color.

Also, I would like to ask whether it is possible to re-assign a keyboard's key to another key on the keyboard level without taking it apart and messing with its circuits. When using a software solution to change a key, it sometimes doesn't work and causes problems.

Thank you.

A store in Finland (Verkkokauppa) used to sell them in Swedish/Finnish layout, black-on-black and black-on-white, but it doesn't any more. But you could look out for them on the second-hand market.
