Found it at KBDfans https://kbdfans.com/collections/new-arrival/products/pre-orderelectrostatic-capacity-keyboard-japanese-keycaps?variant=21630798528560

It’s OEM profile in PBT.

I wonder how they sound, I remember hearing that the topre 9009 set was not great and rattly sounding.

Made some impulse buys on BFCM: Savage65 Lily from Cannon Keys, and a heavily discounted GMK Valentine from zFrontier (worth it for the :heart_eyes: R1 key alone lol).

Sweet thanks

It will most likely be awhile down the road. I plan on doing a new build for the set, but aim to get a case made for it.

Yeah. I got Topre 9009 also as well as other Topre keysets from KBDfans and can attest they sound like crap.

Frankly, I’m done buying Topre stuff from them, even the HiPro-clone keyset they’re working on. If it was Cherry MX keyset, yeah, but no more Topre keysets for me.

A couple days ago actually, but figured I’d post it.


Some GPL 105, 50g, 55g, & 60g springs from TX. Still waiting on my stem grabber & pack of 65g springs from their intl. store, but I was cheap & went with the untracked shipping so I’m hoping they will show up sometime this week. No biggie though cause I’m also waiting on a batch of 120 Gat blacks from 1UP which won’t ship out till they get back from break next week & that is what the springs are for.

Hey, recently got into HHKB too…

So the HHKB keycaps from kbdfans are crappier than the stock ones ? I was tempted by the blank ones…

Also was eyeing these POM keycaps from aliexpress

Thanks

Finally got a key set I’ve wanted for a while: SA Ice Caps

At least the ones I bought while back, yes. And, texture wise, nothing even comes close to that of stock HHKB keysets. That said, HiPro keyset they’re working on looks rather nice.

Re Aliexpress POM keycaps, they seem to be closer to Jelly POM keycaps than bizarrely textured Topre POM keycaps KBDfans had.

@Saul how do they sound on your board?

I don’t have my HHKB lubed yet but I do have the BKE Ultra Light Domes installed and it sounds amazing, loving the thick typing sound.

Finally got my UHMWPE stems. Ordered on Dec. 1st but took its sweet time getting here.

Mine came in the mail today too - can’t wait to test them out!!

Wow is that GMK Valentine set that saturated irl? That pink seems intense

I believe that’s GMK Devotion. Yeah, it’s magenta. I’d grab it for sure, but I’m a stickler about 65% compatibility. I end up buying these zfrontier sets and then regretting it when I want to use them on a 65% board. It is a beautiful set, however.
