Title: Where do you guys find thes HHKB sets?
Post by: Severe on Tue, 04 April 2017, 07:02:15
I'm not new to mechs, but very new to the keycap scene. I just got my black HHKB in after waiting months to pull the trigger and seeing a lot of really slick HHKB boards with colored modifier keys.

Every search I do gets me no where.

It's mainly artisans, however, you can also get custom dyed caps from /u/crj3012 on reddit.

The best casted resin mods are from Key Kollectiv and Aero Keys. There are a couple of new makers on the market though, Check out r/mechmarket.

Some people put MX-compatible sliders in their HHKBs so that coloured MX keycaps can be used in certain positions.

Like those from [CTRL]ALT - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=77300.msg2396510#msg2396510

(Yes I know it's not an HHKB, but you get the idea.)
