Cheapest Topre FN Key?
« on: Fri, 13 March 2015, 14:58:42 »
Been looking at the availability of a different coloured FN as I plan to buy a HHKB pretty soon. I've seen some printed ones on shape ways but they look pretty rough, is there any cheap-ish(lol) options for me  ;D

It's not the problem of price.. It's a problem that no one is making them..

Bro Caps and Hot Keys Project both have made them, but I don't know of plans for any more to be made in the short term.

Other than that your best bet would be to try to split a full RealForce set with someone.

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

Thanks for the reply, I guess I can just keep checking the classifieds and see if any pop up  :-[

I'd be very interested in finding different colored FN keys as well. Strange to me that there's an official pack with ESC and CTRL, but not FN.

Shapeways-fabricated one was too rough to use.

I posted in the classifieds forum (and /r/mechmarket) and someone was willing to get rid of one a month ago. Didn't cost that much either.

I have both orange and black-on-black realforce sets, and neither have FN keys — just the stupid windows menu key.

I actually want to get some HHKB keys just to de-winblows-ify this thing.
