look what geekhack made me done...
« on: Fri, 19 August 2011, 09:40:13 »
just bought a realforce 103!
it sure was a tough journey though... going through filco black,blue,brown...
i was wondering where to get keycaps for it?
will filco keycaps fit into realforce?? im guessing not.
also where do i get a cover for it? like acrylic one for filco
and i heard the space bar is very sharp for realforce? is it better to reverse the spacebar?

Realforce use topre switches and there won't be so many keycaps available, there the skull keycaps from clickclack, and some colorful ones yo can find in Japan and at Elitekeyboards or le finnish store i don't remember the name (all these suomi names :-)).
Just forgto to add : they are expensive, as the keyboard is.

The acrylic cover for the Filco should work on the RF.  You may want to check with Majestouch at Elitekeyboards.

I chuckled.


No, filco keycaps will not fit. Yes the spacebar is sharp. No you should not reverse it like some crazy people around here *cough*. if the shape is not suitable, im fairly certain ripster can give you a tip or two about changing the shape of topre spacebars. I think they might be abs.
