@KBDfans when do you expect to have these available for a group buy?

Shift key symbols look like they should be a little bit bigger. Also I think the Windows key might look better with “Super” and Menu key with “Menu” like in GMK 9009.

Please include Tsangan bottom row from the Realforce 86U.

I’d be down for the base set and JP2, although I don’t understand some design choices with the JP2 set.

Firstly, why even bother with the " 、", “。”, “.” and “¥” sublegends on the ねるめむkeys? It’s just out of place with the otherwise clean and bold mono-legend (mono-kana?) look. Also, the dakuten ( ゙) and handakuten ( ゚) keys (where “[” and “]” usually go) look so odd with the Japanese quotation marks. I’d much rather have a centered and larger dakuten/handakuten as the main legend, without any sublegends.

Secondly, this might just be a render/early design thing, but some legends like し and て look noticeably smaller compared to は and ひ. I suppose it’ll be a bit harder to size the kana since some are more horizontal, and some are more vertical, but I do hope to see them look proportionately sized in the actual keycaps.

Otherwise, the keycaps don’t appear too bad as of right now. I’m pleased with my EPBT9009 and I’m sure that you won’t disappoint.

Hopefully the mod kit will happen for my 660c :pray:

Looking forward to more interesting colorway

Definitely interested, like the colors, and would be sweet on my hhkb!

@KBDfans Please include the 7u spacebar for Realforce 86U and Realforce 103U compatibility.

Please create tooling for a Topre center-stem stepped capslock.

interesting, in this way it is possible to avoid the mods for mx slider and related stabs. I look forward to new sets. Good luck with this gb

…and stepped Ctrl (Control) would be nice!
(either now or in any later run)

Looks great! Any chance of there being a blank version at some point? Saw a 9009 blank render and fell in love

Here’s a blank white POM set

Very interested! Would also be interested in a blank version, blank black version, and 6.25 spacebar in the future.

I won’t be able to get this set, but I am really excited with the possiblities that this will make possible for other sets. I’ll definitely keep an eye for the next ones.

You know what Topre really needs?

A set of THICK PBT caps. To my knowlege, there isn’t any thick keycaps set for Topre stem in existence, and I’m not aware there was any ever.

Now… when I say thick, I mean really fuckin thick. Something like Vortex blanks.

And when it comes to design, it would be great to see something very simple and yet effective. Like this:

Or Dolch Miami

Now imagine that. A Topre keyset that doesn’t look like shit (they all do), and is 2,5mm thick. Excuse me, I’ll have to go, I think I just got an errection…
