It might be (but don't quote me) so that when you swap Ctrl with Capslock with DIM switches, you can tell if caps lock is on or not

You're right going by the site it seems thats the thing. Still ive seen the diagrams for swaping keys but i get the impression i start to pull with too much force.

If Topre is originally Japanese, then it is probably pronounced, Toe-pu-ray, but it's a soft R closer to an L sound; formed with the tongue kind of like webwit describes.

BTW, is there any interest in all 55g Realforce boards in the US? I'll be carrying the standard Realforce soon, but 55g is a special item.

I would not mind having one :) But it will be a while before I can get one maybe spring time. I have a few other things I need to get first. I just hope I can still get one when I can get the funds to purchase one.

Also are you going to also have the HHKB Pro as well?

NOTE: You are going to kill the ebay market for new ones.

Blue, here's the announcement thread - force diagrams are in there.

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?p=81323#post81323

Key should be easy to swap - what problem are you having?  Flip Dip 1 and yank that sucker.



I'm pronouncing it as if it's French - sounds more expensive that way.  "Too-Pray"  like "Ashley Dupre".  Elliott Spitzer would get this joke.


I thought i only had to pull the key or do i need to rotate first?

Thats pretty awesome, majestouch. I ordered a filco tenless with brown cherries from you and the pricing and service were very good. Its nice to see you branching out and offering more types of keyboards.

LOL.  I meant flip switch 1 on the DIP block.  Then swap keys.

Actually, if you have the black model don't even bother swapping the keys - nobody can read them anyway and both keys have the LED windows so nobody breaks their keys.

Me, I could care less about the warranty.  I took that sucker apart the next day.



Don't distract Majestouch until he ships those Blue Cherry Filcos.  FOCUS.   FOCUS.   FOCUS.


its that i have that red esc key :(....but is there any special way or is only pulling?

Better be.

Watch out, BigPook will want you to stock TrackBalls next.

Did you say Blue Cherry availability is any day now?


I will cease to hijack this thread right about now;)

(blue cherries this month)

Puuuuulllll......

The Topre key caps are real simple.  No possibility of breakage as long as you pull straight up.  You should have that metal keycap puller in the box too.


yes, i have the metal puller.
