when you go to EK's site right now you can see some blank colored keycaps for topre switches.
it says at the bottom "realforce colored keycap set" although that disappears after a few seconds.
they are no where to be found .. YET on their site. maybe they will go on sale sometime soon? o.O

Incorrect. If someone wants to sell me their blank red modifiers, please let me know. 11/12 sets hurts my brain. Why didn't I buy them when EK had them?!

As usual, the answer is 'everything'. Is your 104Pro a 30g one? Can't wait for mine to get here.

If anyone wants to sell any of the fn row or esc row blank keys (any colour except black (that does include the original white hhkb) I will buy them for a fair price.

I see 24 sets left. You should be okay. You can check the number by attempting checkout with a large number.

Not really an accurate comparison IMO. I'm all for custom keycaps, but these are just crazy expensive since they are rare. I would consider these analogous to a snowboard that costs twice as much as the competition because it's the only board that fits a certain pair of bindings.

Quick question, why do you have 6 HHKBs? Are they on different computers or do you swap them on the same?

hcry4 · « **Reply #33 on:** Thu, 23 February 2012, 09:41:58 »

I do have a lot of computers, but I wanted to collect them regardless.

The keycaps aren't priced at a functional level. They're $110 because they're rare, and collector's items.

guilleguillaume · « **Reply #35 on:** Thu, 23 February 2012, 19:36:26 »

There are left 10 sets of Lettered Keycaps(Lime Green) 7 sets of Non-Printed Keycaps(Lime Green).

I purchased last week an artist proof and some limited Alan Lee prints signed by him so I shouldn't get those sets even if I want to collect them all. Buy them so I don't have to

Reptile · « **Reply #36 on:** Thu, 23 February 2012, 22:28:30 »

I have a green set from EK coming as well as 104pro from China. Now which color combo?

Wildcard · « **Reply #37 on:** Thu, 23 February 2012, 23:33:06 »

I need someone's opinion on this. What is more rare, the fact that EK is selling these lime green caps or the fact they're stocking 45g 87u boards now for $310?

I'm thinking of picking up a set of these caps, or buying a new board. But not both.

Thoughts?

The lettered Green keycaps are now sold out, but there's still still about 5 non-printed green sets left. These things go fast.

Thank you for the input, I ended up picking up two sets. I plan on buying another Realforce soon, but I need to hold off for a bit to appease the misses.

Edit:

I hope my order still goes through, I only placed it this morning.

How many misses have you got?..

If it let you check out through PayPal, you'll get it.

feng · « **Reply #42 on:** Fri, 24 February 2012, 15:58:03 »

I ordered 4 sets of these on February 22 and checked out with paypal successfully (it shows the transaction is complete and the money has been charged from my paypal). But I don't receive any email to telling me that my order is confirmed. I used to order stuffes from EK and usually it would send me a confirmation email as soon as I make the payment. I don't know why this time there's no confirmation email, I only got an email from paypal saying that I've sent a payment to EK.

Does anyone else have this issue? Or just me? The printed green sets are sold out already.

Hopefully they did receive my order.:smash:

reaper · « **Reply #43 on:** Fri, 24 February 2012, 16:07:40 »

Yeah, the confirmation email didn't come in until way later for me too.

Kisakuku · « **Reply #44 on:** Fri, 24 February 2012, 16:11:32 »

I've received packages from EK before confirmation emails for them arrived. I wouldn't worry too much.

I just got my 87u 45g today and wanted to try it out before getting any extra key colors and am loving it so far but it seems most of the lettered ones are sold out now. For future reference in the event that I want to customize the look of it, how often do these keycap sets come up for sale?

Very rarely. This is the third batch on EK, no guarantee they will restock. Grab whatever you can.
