dustinhxc, I originally wanted the white legend version, but those photos look so clean!  I'm tempted to go for the blanks now (esp if I switch over to Colemak).

I think it's good to have both :) but if you know the layout then blanks are fine to have by themselves.

The colored topre caps are for realforce's. The right shift on the HHKB is smaller than that on the realforce
They are still usable.

Of course but who would want an incomplete set?

I believe you flip the caps lock.

Or use a random key that fits.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

In a stroke of good luck, my brother in law is going to Japan for training and I now can ship him a set of HHKB caps from amazon.co.jp .. my dileman\ is whether I should go for white/grey blanks or with legends. The one with legends looked 'busy' to me but many swears by the quality of the legends. I have a black on black now, so the blanks is my first choice. Would I regret not getting the white/grey legends?

So flipping the caps lock, does that make the key the same profile? I couldn't stand having a different profile shift. I'm really wanting blank greens for my hhkb that one it's way.. I ordered the blank white and also the blank black caps... haven't even gotten it yet, and I've ordered sets of caps.. damn Geekhack (and especially Dustin for having that hot ass board.)

Thank you ;) I just ordered the blank orange so I'll let you know! I just love the look of that tiny dot on the right shift :p (caps lock)

Yes, please report back as I would also love to use a realforce set if possible on my hhkb. Although from some pictures I've seen it looks like you can use the shorter right shift and it isn't too noticeable.

Use blank like I do.  Everything fits except the right shift (you can see some gaps in the picture around that right shift).

These are RF87U/104U (that EK sells) keycaps on a Type-S HHKB.
