Plate-Mounted 60% Topre Board?

[Hypersphere]

Do you ever wish for a plate-mounted 60% Topre-switch keyboard?

I like my HHKB Pro 2, but sometimes I would prefer it to feel more solid, like my Realforce 87U boards with their plate-mounted Topre switches. I can make the HHKB switches heavier by transplanting 55g domes, but it would still have case-mounted switches.

Similarly, I enjoy my RF boards, but when I am using them, I wish they could exist in a 60% form factor.

Would PFU ever consider producing a HHKB with a plate-mounted switch option?

Would Topre/Realforce ever consider producing a plate-mounted Topre-switch 60% board?

How difficult would it be to build a custom 60% Topre-switch keyboard?

have you considered leopold fc660c? its basically a 60% realforce.

And I think its not possible to build a custom 60% topre switch keyboard without designing the PCB first

At least, it is not in the realm of DIY for aficionados.

@bocahgundul: Yes, the Leopold FC660C was my very first Topre-switch keyboard. It is nice and solid, but I could never get accustomed to the layout or form factor. Later, after trying many different keyboards with various form factors, layouts, and switches, I discovered that my form factor preferences were quantized: 60% or TKL, but nothing in between.
