red ESC key and blank WASD keys for HHKB?
« on: Thu, 25 February 2010, 18:45:36 »
Hi!

Where did you guys bought those keys from?

I want to buy those for my HHKB Pro 2, but no idea where to look.

Thanks!

The Filco boards from EliteKeyboards.com come with a red ESC and a red FILCO key.
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

What's the diff between a HHK and Filco cap? Is one deeper/taller?

well. since hhkb and filco uses 2 different keys, i dont think is a wise idea to mix them (that apart from the idea that maybe doesnt fit neither)

The ones you linked are for Alps. They will not fit Cherry MX or Topre. They have different stems.

Zero-compatible means alps-compatible, and HHK means Cherry?

The Zero is the ALPS-based Filco and the HHKB uses Topre switches. The Filco Majestouch has Cherrys.
