Title: Hi, everyone!
Post by: angr on Tue, 27 October 2015, 16:11:12
Hi, my name is Vasiliy. l'm from Russia.
I'm using my HHKB pro2 type-S at work for two years, and happy with it. Also I got tesoro tizona with red switches at home, but I like HHKB more.

Hope, i'll find out how to get some keycaps, that helps make my HHKB more beautiful!

Welcome man!  You're older to the scene then I am as I just bought my first mechanical keyboard in April of this year.

Welcome from Canada! Depends on what you want but you can find people selling keycap sets, take part in a group buy, or check out the Artisan section for sales on special caps :)

If beautifying your HHKB is a top priority then you will want to check out KeyKolectiv in the Artisan section.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Whoa - that's a long time between registering and making your first post :eek:

You have joined at an interesting time - there are a few Topre keycap makers around now, at least making small batches of modifiers, and Matt3o is designing a new RealForce keycap set that might include an HHKB compatibility option.  We can hope ...

There certainly is: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74413.0

Sorry, I should have posted that straight away :)

You'll need to read through a few pages to see the more or less final design, but getting a bit of history of how he started is probably a good idea.
