The project is up for IC. Please come over and help us launch a great project for the Topre community.

The manufacturing is managed by FK. The both of us are very aware of the issue with the KBDFans offering. It's something we'll be paying close attention for URSA to be right.

Carrying all that was not fun :lol: And I just realized I totally missed that Andreas was there and presented some Ursa caps :oops: Same here, I was so busy talking and presenting URSA, that I missed out on your awesome collection. I should still make time and visit you. Also, there's great news: h...

I'm happy to say the project is shaping up for production.

Spherical Topre lovers go here:

microswitch keyboard module

Thank you. Would you happen to know someone in Germany with a Microswitch keyboard? I'd love to have an in person look at the keycaps

What is this one?

Is there an update to the still available items?

I took some more photos and would like to share them with you.

Oh dear, your attention to detail is unrivaled. Absolutely fantastic.

Thanks for filling us in on the details. The hours spent filling in the legends have definitely paid off!

Thank you so much. I totally forgot to mention, there is no post-processing on the caps in terms of coating, polishing, or sanding. It's still something I want to experiment with.

Hi and thank you so much, the legends are filled with a fine brush — a real Zen thing all in all about 4-5 hours for the 189 glyphs :) I tried pouring / overfilling, but due to the micro structure gaps from the LCD, I could never get the surface sufficiently clean again. It always ended in a strange...

Thank you, Mu, for that extensive clarification — I can now follow you and make sense of the HiPro situation :) From the looks of them, I fell I want to agree with you. The keycaps above are URSA Minor, same deep dishes, yet OEM height. URS Major is quite a bit higher. Sounds good to me. 8-) What co...

I assume you have an SLA printer?

Yes, an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro.

This looks amazing! I would not have guessed these were printed. The legends looks crisp! Can you tell us a bit more about the process of making these (and how you made the legends), and do you have more pictures from more angles? Thank you so much. Here are some quick phone snapshots fresh from to...

Thank you Mu, I'm not a native speaker, and there is a quite a bit to uncover in the above posts. Though this paragraph, I do not fully comprehend: …HiPro is too flat and really lacks the charm Topre’s own sphericals have. Those deeply contoured dishes in their sphericals put HiPro’s dullard flat to...

Did I make a mistake and cause confusion? I thought HiPros are the Topre sphericals? Are there two spherical profiles for Topre?

Sphericals like that in Topre mount? Now you’re talking!

Smoother than HiPro's

I also received my HHKB today, so I will print more in the coming weeks.

I was very inspired by this NEC keyboard and its Topre sibling, so I made some keycaps for my FC660C. I'm going to reprint the spacebar in blue at a later time.
