URSA custom keycaps are a set of keycaps that can be used with Topre capacitive non-contact switches by FKcaps.
The target keyboards are compatible with HHKB (not compatible with HHKB Studio), Realforce, Leopold, and other keyboards that use the capacitance non-contact method.
KawamuraSince the only variation of replacement keycaps (keytops in the PFU sense) compatible with HHKB and other products was only available from Domikey and others, other than the genuine products, it is likely to be very popular. Now if only we could reach HHKB and Realforce users….
URSA custom keycaps have a unique profile, which is slightly taller than the HHKB stock profile and has a “spherical design” where the keys are recessed toward the center, so you can expect a fingertip-attracting keystroke feel.
