This is my Topre collection. I’ve been a collector for years now and mainly collector Topre and Alps boards.

Correct! The bottom 3 are JIS boards. The newer models have a program you can use to program the function layers. The older Pro 2 boards don’t, but you can buy an aftermarket controller that adds programmability. I use Hasu controllers and they’re great. You should be able to get what you want with these controllers.

I love your board!

If you want to find a board with this layout you can use something like Buyee to proxy ship a used one or buy the newer model that’s programmable stock.

No problem! I understand your pain. I think I have close to 40 keyboards now…
