I have an HHKB pro with white blanks I'd like to have lettered keys also...I don't care if they are black or white

If you can find the HHKB "Dvorak" conversion kit it is usually available in black and white. I bought both a long time ago. It only has enough keys to change to Dvorak (no ENTER, Backspace, etc.).

I'll see what I can find. I have boxes and boxes of keyboards to my wife's dismay. There's nothing special, just keys in a white, cloth bag. I used them to make a checkerboard-style keyboard.
Oh, and here's the weird part. There was a Dvorak kit and a regular keycaps kit. I cannot tell the difference between the two items, but I didn't check hard enough. I think the regular kit has number and special keys like Enter but I honestly don't recall being able to pry those keys off of a real HHKB Lite 2 or HHKB.

Key profiles differ by row. That's why this Dvorak HHKB kit is interesting. The PFU FAQ makes no mention of it.
That's right, I never thought of that. I'll keep my eye out for it. I think I remember where it is.
