Individual Topre Keycaps

[crimsonTofu]

Hey guys, recently my friend broke his HHKB's  "5" keycap so I was wondering where he could get a replacement. I know he could replace it with a novelty cap but it would look out of place if there was just 1 novelty in the middle of the number row.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know about Topre boards but I do know that CM storm sells replacement keys for their keyboards through their Parts & Replacement section on their website.

The unfortunate thing for me is they refused to sell me a female-mini usb daughter board, so they won't ever get my business again.

Getting an artisan cap to replace the "5" key would be a bit too much.  The only Topre keycaps that sell individually are the red Esc key and black spacebar over at EliteKeyboards.  The red Esc is sold out at the moment.  If you can't find anyone here who is willing to sell a single Topre key of the same profile, your friend's best bet is buy some keyboard stickers and the "Limited Edition Control and Esc Kit for HHKB" over at EliteKeyboards.  He can use the blue Esc keys from this kit and add a "5" key sticker to it.  However, for better flow I recommend he use the "~" key on his HHKB as a replacement "5" key and place a "5" key sticker on it.  After that, he can place the blank blue  Esc on the "~" slider.

Widebasket from Ebay also sells the red Esc key for $12 shipped, so that's another option: http://www.ebay.com/itm/REALFORCE-Key-Cap-ESC-for-Realforce-HHKB-Pro-FC660C-Topre-English-PBT-Red-/281428117220?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41866c46e4
