If you can find the HHKB "Dvorak" conversion kit it is usually available in black and white.  I bought both a long time ago.  It only has enough keys to change to Dvorak (no ENTER, Backspace, etc.).

I'll see what I can find.  I have boxes and boxes of keyboards to my wife's dismay.  There's nothing special, just keys in a white, cloth bag.  I used them to make a checkerboard-style keyboard.

Oh, and here's the weird part.  There was a Dvorak kit and a regular keycaps kit.  I cannot tell the difference between the two items, but I didn't check hard enough.  I think the regular kit has number and special keys like Enter but I honestly don't recall being able to pry those keys off of a real HHKB Lite 2 or HHKB.

Key profiles differ by row.  That's why this Dvorak HHKB kit is interesting.  The PFU FAQ makes no mention of it.


That's right, I never thought of that.  I'll keep my eye out for it.  I think I remember where it is.
