Realforce 87U TKL keycaps?
« on: Mon, 10 March 2014, 20:25:49 »
Anyone know of a place to get keycaps for a Realforce 87U TKL? It seems elitekeyboards doesn't carry a full set aside from the 'pink' ones. :)

Why is that? Have they just decided to stop making them?

Actually yeah :/  I'm not sure why but supposedly they decided to stop producing the alternate color stand alone sets of keycaps. Don't know if that covers things like the Red Esc keys, but I know the full sets and Modifier sets aren't in production anymore.

From what I've heard Topre don't want to produce aftermarket keycaps. There are some on sale here http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.0.0.kL3bAY&id=36392535695 , in the classifieds, or you could wait until either matt3o finishes his mx/topre sliders http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=54942.msg1252984#msg1252984 or harvest them for Cooler Master's Novatouch once it's available.

Well that's a pity on their part. Thanks for the links, I've give them a gander.
