Its in the front page.
The price basically comes down to the material used (ABS or PBT).

Do they even exist? I know there was a Topre keycap drop on Massdrop that failed. Some of the people who joined were cancerous, so I'm kinda glad it failed.

There are also people who sacrificed a Realforce to use the keycaps on another Topre keyboard. Funny shit.

Yeah, I don't mean to insult the Topre community, since I'll be joining it very soon. I'm waiting for my Japanese coworker to buy a 55g 87u for me. HYPE

At least there's the PBT spacebar.

thanks man, already read them, I'm now wondering if mixing ABS and PBT keycaps on the same board is okay? just different texture and durability, right?

That's your first and you wrote there "reliable"? How are people gonna trust you lol?

Honestly, you're not gonna like the idea of switching keycaps unless you have the money. They're crazy expensive for some reasons.

There are some cheap sets, but it's not going to be better than your stock ones.

Following my research's findings ahahah I feel bad but I had to do what I can to pull in interested people, right? Thank goodness it turned out rather well xD. I have friends with mech keyboards (mostly cherry mx Browns and kaihl green switches) so I've been playing with them for a while, never truly owned one

Can be ordered from Taobao

Are you sure you want it? It's a good product but:
- No dedicated on/off button
- No option to connect via USB (the cable is just to charge the battery)
- Some people have unsolvable issues with pairing

Personally I would wait another 1-2 generations until they improve it

OK.. thanks for the feedback.. much appreciated smile.gif
