Can I swap the Alt and Windows keycaps on a RF 87U?

[kungfoo]

Well the title basically says it all.
I would love to try out a RF keyboard for fun. My main board right now is the HHKB 2 Pro, so I know what I'm getting with the switches.
The only things that really bother me are the following:

- I want to swap windows and alt (The same way it is on the HHKB)
- The domed windows keys: What is the easiest way to replace those?

TIA and Cheers

No,Alt is 1.5 Win is 1. you can't swap different size,it on RF
on HHKB Alt is 1. Mac/Win is 1.5

buy blank keycaps!

yeah, you can't swap the keys but if you get blanks, you can swap the modifiers in your OS or with some remapping software.

You could swap caps between a HHKB Pro and a Topre Realforce, but that would just be cosmetic, and I am not sure if the colours would match...
You would have to use remapping software under Window. In MacOS it is in the keyboard settings (whatever it is called).

I did already swap those keys around on my Filco in OSX before I had the HHKB.
Now I have the HHKB and use the awesome window manager under Linux and I'm quite used to the meta key being next to the spacebar, as it sees heavy use in the wm.
I really dig the way the HHKB feels, the layout is great and currently I would say the Topre switches are my favorites, closely followed by browns.
I recently showed my Filco to a friend and if he's inclined to buy it, I would actually _need_ another keyboard.
The question then is, should I get a RF or another MX keyboard?

So I ordered me a RF EK TKL with all 45g switches to go along with my HHKB.

Given the price difference, let me guess you like Topre quite a bit more than browns! (I sure do. Don't much like browns at all.)

Yeah, this morning the Filco with the browns just seemed weird at home. I got the chance to test clears on a DOX today, which might be the MX switch that I would really dig. But then again, I only really _need_ two keyboards.
