Really happy about the developments. I've been following the project for quite some times and I'm super excited that this is finally gonna be available to all the follow Topre lovers.
A big thanks to u/23_Andreas for starting the development of the URSA project along with his passion and dedication. He's truly one of the most wholesome ppl that I've "met" in this scene. And big thanks to u/fk-caps for embarking in the journey to support him and help him bring the project to new heights, those who I hoped to see from this project ever since the first pics of the caps were shared by Andreas.
Can't wait to have these on my boards and if all goes well maybe I can hope for a JIS option too *wink wink*

coming from you that means a lot! we should "meet up" some time too I am very interested by what you are doing!
and yes JIS/ISO support is on the list too :) it will come soon enough if the first set does well!

We definitely should. I was planning to go the the Frankfurt Meetup but then ended up having to cancel the travel because of work. Missed so much good stuff 😢

Could you be more specific?

What kind of timeline are we looking at here< am i going to have to wait a year to get them if its a GB?
fk-caps OP t1_jc92y95 wrote
It won’t be a GB! We’ll take the time we need to make them just right, then sell as in stock items, shipping the next day from US or EU.

Can we get a seperate 23u set? Otherwise I'd be buying 104u, AND hhkb
fk-caps OP t1_jc9hyop wrote
that is not going to happen unfortunately the sets won't change too much... sorry about that, you could talk with someone getting a base kit for an HHKB for instance and collect the few keys you need?

Ive been using RF 87u for 8 years straight, its time to treat it with some nice caps! 🙃
archaelurus t1_jcbttig wrote
100% interested, but I need ISO/JIS (HHKB JP etc)
-
I love the demo with Japanese labeling... is this something that will happen? This question is because I'm assuming the talk of ISO/JIS is only with regard to layout/shape of keys, not for japanese labels, is that correct?
-
If the answer is that it's only layout and not labels: will you offer ISO/JIS specific keys extension kit? Or should I wait for a full kit to appear if I don't want to buy a full keyset twice?
fk-caps OP t1_jccb0jg wrote
Please consider stating your request/need in the upcoming survey as this will be our point of reference for the next iterations!
-
No there won’t be japanese sublegends for doubleshot keycaps. We might consider running a set in dye sub but that’s not in the current plan. Yes the talk about ISO/JIS is regarding the shape of the keys
-
Yes it will be an additional extension kit for ISO/JIS layouts support

I am really excited about this development!!! Prototypes have been amazing - looking forward to the production version…

Ive been on the lookout for literal years for a good topre keycapset. If that comes in ISO and maybe even a German layout ive reached endgame!

It’s been a long time coming but Topre keyboard users are finally getting what they deserve: nice keycaps! This new profile, designed by the talented u/23_Andreas, is a spherical sculpted keycaps profile for Topre keyboards. You heard that right, no need to mod switches, or mount weird adapters that may ruin your keyboard experience, URSA keycaps are injected with Topre-compatible stems. And the best part is they are double shot PBT, which is basically the best option out there to get crisp, perfectly aligned legends and vivid colors.
While we are figuring out the details, you may subscribe on our website to be notified when news come out. We’ll be having a survey very soon, to present the first colorway and make sure we know what colors/layouts you want or need!
Here is what we know so far:
