Cipulot EC PCBs and Daughterboards
We are extremely happy to be partnering with Cipulot to bring several replacement EC PCBs for Topre keyboards such as the Realforce R1 TKL series, HHKB Professional 2, HHKB Classic/Hybrid (Pro-3), Leopold FC660C, and several aftermarket cases. The PCBs are QMK and VIA compatible, and also offer calibration, actuation customization, and rapid trigger (beta) built right into the VIA compatibility.
Important
In order for the RF R1 PCB and EC Pro PCBs to work within VIA, a new firmware will need to be flashed. Please follow the links below for instructions on how to do this.
