Elitekeyboards replacement keycaps for Realforce
« on: Sun, 10 February 2013, 09:52:15 »
Could they work with the HHKB as well? I was thinking about the black HHKB and replacing them with the yellow lettering keycaps. Anyone try it? Thanks.

I think EK is pretty clear on which Realforce sets are compatible with HHKB. If not, I'd be interested in hearing too.

They do work but you have to use the spare capslock as the short right shift on the HHKB.

Thanks for the reply. That helps out a lot. They make it sound that it can't work with the HHKB but i have used some of the keys from a Real Force on my HHKB and haven't had a problem.

Is the spacebar the same size on the HHKB as on the 104/87?  For some reason I was assuming it wasn't.
