Title: Keycaps from HHKB fit Leopold FC660C?
Post by: DuckNorris on Mon, 03 April 2017, 10:16:25

Which keycaps from the HKKB can fit the FC660C? All of them or only like the modifiers etc? Really like the layout of the FC660C but not too fond of the fonts on those stock keycaps... Thank you.

Not all the key sizes will be the same.

Alphas should fit some mods might fit but most probably won't and you won't have enough caps from hhkb to completely fill the fc660c.

Bottom row is not gonna match.

Also not sure if they are the same profile, i.e.  stock vs hhkb caps.

Awe I see. Man, such a nice layout but man those keycaps are ...eh.

Will all the alphas match though?

I have a couple dyed HHKB keys on my FC660C and the profile is the same, but as mentioned you will have issues with a few mod sizes.

The stock Dye-Sub caps on the Leo (FC660C/EG) are very nice feeling, however the grey can be a bit plain looking. (I kinda like it with a few blue accent keys.)
