Hello from Germany ..
« on: Sat, 05 January 2013, 05:21:06 »
Hello everyone ...

I am new to this forum and just bought a Topre Realforce 88UB 45g Key Black on Black Mini Keyboard than included yellow with black print W, A, S and D keys.
I really would lke to upgrade my keyboard with some custom keycaps like Candy Corn MX CC, Yolk Yellow MX CC Skull, Hack Orange Topre CC Skull, Red MX CC Skull, Ionospheric Blue MX CC Skull etc ...

I am from Germany and really look forward on this board.

Welcome and you'll need Topre cc, not MX cc.  :)

Welcome to Geekhack!

Topre has a really nice yellow keycap set :)  Sometimes I dream of getting a Topre board just to get those yellow keycaps.

Good luck finding all those Clacks - hopefully you have a big wallet and lots of patience ;)

A nice Clack ... good luck!  Some people manages to get one early, some don't (unless you are prepared to pay somewhat inflated prices for them).  They are nice though :)

I see it will be tough for me to get some nice ones, as I am all new and have nothing to trade. I hope people will sell some ... or happy to get some offers by pm - as I can not post wtb in classfields.

There are lots of nice ones around ... I got today two Phantom PCB on order and really look forward building two customs Phantom boards :) I really love the Filco Camo, and will do one if I get the case separate.
