I've been looking everywhere and I cannot seem to find a printed red enter keycap that would fit the HHKB, 8 also cannot seem to find Red caps that would fit the arrow cluster on the right side of the board! Does anybody know where to find these things? It's killing me  :-[ :confused:

Alas he was looking for printed caps, I believe the only option for that is a full set. Only partial caps I can recall being sold were on elite keyboards.

EliteKeyboards used to sell certain coloured Topre (Trope?) keycaps, such as Enter, but had only a few colours left and no stock of those any more.

I don't know of anyone who sold the HHKB arrow keys in specific colours - you'd have to buy a full set for that (as Halverson said).

A while ago (maybe a year) someone was selling random single coloured Topre keycaps, so your best bet might be to create a WTB thread in classifieds and hope that someone somewhere has a few to sell.
"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

2 months and 25 posts - hang in there, participate in some discussions, and the time will pass soon enough.

Probably quicker than it will take for these keycaps to appear on the market!

Yeah I think I am going to change my needs, currently looking for 4 HKP keycaps to fit my ( [;'/ ) cluster on my HHKB. And a Black Deadly Silence Keycap to match my Ruby One!

HKP has sales every now and again, keep an eye on his subforum for news of upcoming sales.
