19 bucks for jp kit is a steal, can't wait to receive it. Hopefully the quality is going to be on par with stock leopold caps.

Will this set be compatible with the Realforce 91U JIS?

It looks like it will if I get the HHKB JP kit, but I just wanted to confirm. Thanks!

I don't think they started to ship yet. There was a issue with the original run they were having to work out some kinks. The last thing i heard was a few days ago. KBDfan's said that they where hoping to get samples that day to finalize the production.

I got mine, but they sound bad on my realforce, so I'm not using them. Very rattly, sounds like a cheap Dell keyboard.

I received mine and on my HHKB Type-S there's no flaw. Sure it's a bit louder but the keys are really nice to type on IMHO

There's a lot of people that have been wanting the set so you should either put it up on r/mm or go to the KBDFans Discord channel and sell it there.

@kbdfans Please advise on the current status. I see some people have already received their caps and some haven't. I haven't got any shipping notification yet and now it is almost December.

Last I heard from Wei was that the delay was impacting the pro mod kit. He said the texture didn't match perfectly and is trying again.

Seems like everyone who is delayed, purchased the mod kit.

They've been making Hi-Pro EC sets for a while, but have recurrent issues with the stems twisting, making the keycaps crooked on the board.

They ran Hi-Pro Renso earlier this year and Wei promised that the stem-twisting issue had been fixed. They even sent the keyset designer a full sample set without twisting.

Then of course the production run comes out and looks like this:

People got upset (understandably), so KBDFans just marked them all as 'B-Stock' and refused refunds, then removed them from their store page when they were all sold out.

Don't buy from KBDFans.
