Topre's Long-Awaited Ursa Keycap Lineup Finally Arrives: A Niche Enthusiast's Dream Come True
Keyboard enthusiasts, rejoice. The highly anticipated Ursa keycaps for Topre keyboards are finally here. After a long and winding road of delays and anticipation, the initial batch is now available for purchase. This new style of keycap promises to breathe fresh air into the usually dull world of Topre boards.
For those unfamiliar with Topre keyboards, they're electrocapacitive switches that require specific keycaps to function optimally. In the past, users have been limited to OEM-profile PBT keycaps with dye-sublimated legends in light grey, charcoal, white, and a few other muted colors. The absence of black keycaps with white legends was particularly glaring, making it difficult for enthusiasts to customize their keyboards.
Ursa changes all that. These new keycaps are designed specifically for Topre switches and come in a range of styles and colors. From classic cream-and-grey to bold retro-inspired brown, green, and cream, there's something to suit every taste. And with the addition of blank versions in classic and black colors, users can easily mix and match to create their perfect keyboard.
In terms of quality, Ursa keycaps are reportedly exceptional. The scooped spherical caps provide a comfortable typing experience, while the edges are well-defined without being too sharp. The centered legends are crisp and well-aligned, reminiscent of classic SA and DSA keycaps. Perhaps most impressively, the stems don't twist like other aftermarket caps, ensuring a secure fit.
While not everyone will need or want Ursa keycaps, for enthusiasts like this reviewer, they represent a dream come true. No longer must users settle for boring, off-the-shelf keyboards; now, with Ursa, they can customize their experience and create a truly unique typing environment.
Ursa keycaps are available for purchase in various sizes to fit both HHKBs and larger Topre boards. Pricing is competitive, with extras ranging from $80 to $120 per set, depending on the board size. A limited-edition accent kit and new color variants are also planned, ensuring that enthusiasts will have plenty of options in the future.
For keyboard aficionados who crave more than just a standard, OEM-profile experience, Ursa keycaps offer a welcome respite from mediocrity. As this reviewer can attest, these keycaps are not only visually stunning but also provide an exceptional typing experience that's hard to put down.
