Hi! I don't know anything about keyboards! Can someone help me, maybe?

I started looking into IMSTO's japanese key caps because... they look cool, but when I saw them in other pictures than the one I saw first, they didn't have the same color. This is the kind of color i'm looking for, some very warm beige, almost like white chocolate. I also want to buy key caps that have most of the universal keys (i.e a-z and modifiers) be from the japanese layout, and the region-specific ones (1-9 and all the symbols) be nordic/swedish. So far I've just thought I should buy one of each and mix-match, but that hinges on the fact that both layouts have the same color for the legends, something imsto doesn't appear to do...


Anybody know what I should do?

First, the color of the picture you referred to appears to be off white balance; if so, the cream color is just a light effect and they are in fact regular ~L9 beige. Do you have the code or brand of the board in the picture?

Are those the Topre Japanese HiPro caps?

Welcome to Geekhack!

I could be wrong, but everything in that photo looks like it has a slight orange tint to it, such as might result from an orange lamp shade.

Perhaps if you created a thread in the keyboards section you might get a few more replies - not everyone checks the new members area.

Yes, those are japanese HiPro Topre keys, from a GH60, I think it was. I'll repost this in the keyboards section, thanks!

The white balance is off in that picture, hence the yellow tone that it has. Here is a white balance corrected version

I cant help with this, you may have to buy two sets and mix them together

Wait wut? Hipro keys from a GH60?! Pics or it never happened! Either way, those look off white to me. They probably used a fluorescent light source or something similar
