Where can you get Topre-compatable springs and domes?

I want to try and convert one of the nicer rubber domes like Cherry G83/84 or NMB into a capacitive keyboard, but no one seems to make aftermarket springs. Anyone know someone who makes them, or a manufacturer who can clone them at a reasonable price?

They're available for the Niz at https://www.nizkeyboard.com/collections ... ccessories. Abko might offer them, but I can't find a link on their Korean-language website.

Beware their springs though: they’re cylindrical, the equivalent of Topre’s second spring on the spacebar. The ones you need inside the domes, to do the actual capsensing, are conical.

Let me know if you don't find any conical springs, I have an ass load of them. They're probably all tangled up in each other by now so consider it a free puzzle with any purchase.

I'm gonna steal this and use it when someone asks me to throw a cable in with a keyboard .
