Topre JIS Keycaps on a 87U topre
« on: Tue, 17 January 2017, 02:37:36 »
Good day guys,

I'm looking to buy a Topre keyboard however I'm kinda in love with the JIS keycaps.

Would the keycaps from : https://www.amazon.com/Topre-Japanese-Replacement-Realforce-Sa0100-kt1/dp/B004U8IVMC/ref=pd_sbs_147_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5R7PMR50FRMEZB969SN2 work on a SE08T0 or a FC660C?

Am I correct to say that all topre keycaps are the same apart from the silenced versions where the stems are slightly longer?

The stems will be the same, but the modifiers probably aren't going to fit correctly because they're not the right size (I think?). Also, the FC660C seems to be off-white compared to stuff like the HHKB/Realforce so take that into consideration beforehand. All said though, if you're using it with the stock mods the color thing shouldn't be a real problem.
Realforce RF87UB 45g Uniform | Leopold FC660C w/ TMK | IBM Model M - 3/24/1997 | IBM Model F 122 - 11/25/1985 ANSI'd w/ TMK | IBM Model F XT in a box

Oh I am more interested in replacing only the alphabets and special characters.

From my weeks of research , I understand that only the bottom row is different size compared to other standard size keyboards?

If the keys can fit well that's good enough for me.  ^-^

The Japanese legend alpha keys will work perfectly

Realforce 108KT does not have ANSI enter as well since most, if not, all JIS keyboards are using ISO enter if I'm not mistaken.. If you're not going to use that 2.5u spacebar maybe I can get it from you :P
