why are these all hhkb shill threads now?

>>54651009

I need new caps for my 3 year or so old Leopold full sized. I used some that I had left over from a backlit keyboard at home but the space bar doesn't fit. How would I look for caps that match my keyboard? Also would like ninja printing.

Is there such a thing as different styles for the pegs underneath? Is it only a problem because I tried to put backlit keycaps on a none backlit keyboard?

Price check on Granite Base Set + Modifers? Including resell ofc

Space invader switch master race. With the keycaps off you can actually see the two pieces of metal that touch to register a keystroke. You can even activate them with a paperclip if you want.

Looking for keycaps. Ninja/side print thick pbt if possible.

>Budget - As long as its not insane its fine.
>Location America Chicago Suburbs.
>Preferred switch type - Keyboard is MX-Brown. Keyboard is a Leopold FC3456-A.
>Layout - ANSI
>Form factor - 100% full sized.
>Backlight - No

Continuing to google now. Also these keycap store sites are shit for sorting by feature.

Also these older Leopolds have a space bar issue it seems. There are universal space bars though to deal with it and Im looking for that in PBT matching color also. All white or all black on the keys. I like the look of white but black would show dirt less.

Does white have a problem picking up color from use over time on PBT?

Let us compare Topre with Cherry switches.

>high durability and consistency over time
Check.
>mid keystroke activation
Check.
>replaceable keycaps
Check.
>no rubber dome
Nope. Topre uses a rubber dome to provide superior silent tactility. The domes are bigger and higher quality than those of your typical rubber dome keyboard.
In contrast the silent but tactile Cherry switches are kind of an afterthought, created by putting a slight bump in the plastic of a linear design.
>physical contact point
Nope. Topre switches instead sense the chance in resistance as their spring compresses, unlike a typical rubber dome keyboard which relies on contact surfaces being pressed against each other.
In contrast Cherry switches have the slider rubbing against a metal leaf that bends to make contact. This makes that bent metal leaf a very common point of failure.

Neat. We might be able to buy some interesting keycap sets in the future if the sample pack is well received.
Seems to be a UK company with lots of profiles, similar to Signature Plastics, but also the thickness and quality of something like GMK.

Is something finally being produced? It's been teased for a long while now.

Not that I'd be interested if there are no sculpted sets.

>>54658218
Yes.
>>
>>54658666
Looks like just a sampler pack for now as they don't have much experience with the enthusiast market and vice versa. There's apparently a chance for a full set in Dolch and classic beige color schemes later this year.
The sampler has the Q-series (like a more square DSA), K-series (tall, similar to SA profile) and J-series (similar to Cherry profile).

Hey guys, I'm interested in the Ergodox keyboard. Currently I have a ducky shine 3, with which I am quite happy (apart from the fact that about half the leds have died), but I really like the design of the ergodox and it's ergonomics. Is it worth the price or is it a meme?
