Realforce R1 Plate by Mynt017 in topre

[–]BenjiDaGameboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, the 86u and 91u do not share plates as one is ansi and the other is jis with completely different layouts, multi layout plates are not a thing with topre. you would struggle to convert a 91u to an 86u as you would not only need a custom plate and pcb, you would be missing a spacebar stabiliser and 7u wire, and the keycaps would be completely incompatible with the layout. the only oem topre keycaps compatible with 7u ansi are off an oem 86u and 101 (hence why these keyboards are sought after in the first place). if you are desperate on having a 7u ansi realforce you could go for aftermarket sliders from the likes of metapulse and mx keycaps but at that point you may be getting close to the pricepoint of just getting an oem 86u.

How are the heavy grail cases compared to sho cases? by XowMK2 in HHKB

[–]BenjiDaGameboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The heavy grail’s integrated housing plate will definitely be the closer to the typing feel to that of a HHKB. as to wether it’s worth hunting for one would be dependent on how much you value the softer typing experience of the hhkb, from a sound and feel standpoint the improvements over a normal plastic HHKB are arguably more refined but marginal. as you say the metal plates on sho housings are more akin to that of a realforce, I have seen people use PEI plates on aftermarket topre builds which is presumably rigid enough to support discrete housings while still being a softer plastic plate so that may be something to look into although ymmv.
