My name is Paul I'm French , 20 years old and a hardware enthusiast. Ireallyy like Mechanical keyboards since I start to beinterestedd in it ( 1 year now ) so today Iregisteredd to ask you some questions and also for maybe be useful for someone. I explain myself, Iactuallyy live in japan so I am sure I can helpsomeonee who need a specific thing in mechanical keyboard ofcourses.
I plan to buy my second Mechanical keyboard in few days , a hhkb pro 2 but I am not very sure about the facilities to get topre keycaps. ( but I think this is not the right place to ask questions ^-^ )
I look forward to talk with everybody !

Bienvenuuuuuuuue ! ;D

Hi!
French and in Japan...very cool :cool:
Do you have a preference for layout like AZERTY or QWERTY?
Topre keycaps seem a bit uncommon, though being in Japan you may have a slight advantage to finding them. There are colored sets on eBay for Realforce keyboards, but I'm not sure who in JP stocks HHKB caps.

I am French but I use QWERTY haha :))
So I looke on ebay and this kits are really expensive,
I was looking for dying blank keycaps myself but again I only find them on elitekeyboard.com

Hi!
I travelled to JP last summer. (Osaka & Tokyo) mainly but I did go to some other places as well (Universal Studios/Disneyland).
I love everything there (food was very good and people were friendly) :)
It's definitely a place I would like to go back in the future.
Are you studying at the moment?
Oh and welcome to gh :D

I was looking through amazon uk's selection of keyboards and man I saw a lot of AZERTY boards haha. Welcome to GH ;)

Welcome to Geekhack!
HHKB would be great, except for finding matching replacement keycap sets for it. There are white and black, blank and lettered, and that's it (talking about the standard ANSI-like layout, not the JP layout, although I'd guess that similar would be available for that).
You can coerce a RealForce set to fit an HHKB, as long as you don't mind one or two legends not matching, and the profile of what ends up as the right Shift being off.
