Topre keycaps in the UK?
« on: Tue, 06 May 2014, 11:00:16 »
So since ive been on geekhack ive seen all the beutiful pictures of some HHKB's and they  made me want to get a 60% keyboard. When i did some research into these 60% keyboards it always seemed like the HHKB was the king of all keyboards. I had a look at some online stores and found that you can get them from amazon for £200. Expensive.. the thing is if im going to be spending £200 on a keyboard i atleast want to be able to buy some keycaps to make it look worth the money :P. Ive had a look on geekhack and across the internet and it seems there arnt any uk shops that sell topre keycaps (when buying goods from other countries such as america you get charged something like £60 in tax's)

So are there any shops in the uk that you can buy topre keycaps from?
if not ill guess ill go for the cheaper option and get a poker :P

You'll be hard pressed to find them second hand now that they seem to have halted production of them, let alone new and in the UK brother  :(

GH Classifieds recently had some second-hand Topre key-caps for sale.
Finding second-hand Topre caps anywhere on the planet is a real trick.
I hope you find some key caps for sale in the UK.
