I finally understand that rubber domes are endgame.

Now you need to try an authentic HHKB, Leopold, or Realforce. In my experience, nothing beats the classics :)

Enso E - HHKB Split Ergo by Clever, merry christmas

Considering the price of actual PFU HHKB keyboards, this seems like a great price point. FYI, in case you're not taking it into account, the kit pricing does not include switches. If you're using the Dynapak, it would be another $142. The final cost would be $520 + $142 + whatever keycaps you want t

5 year old HHKB

A classic beauty. I had a home break-in 7 years ago and the only notable item stolen was my HHKB modified with Cherry MX stems and the GMK Persona keycap set 😞

Did anyone else notice that newer HHKB models are rated for only 30 million keystrokes?

That weird because as I know PFU Japan do not include that info at all. Below is the page for the Classic Type-S https://www.pfudirect.jp/view/item/000000001577?category_page_id=hhkb But Realforce do include that info like this https://www.realforce.co.jp/products/R4HB21/ Notice the: β€œγ‚Ήγ‚€γƒƒγƒε―Ώε‘½ 1ε„„ε›žδ»₯δΈŠβ€= s

HHKB Upgrade Dilemma

Honestly. NO amount of upgrades, nothing, beats the feeling of typing at the speed of your thoughts on a blank keycapped HHKB. I ran the full keybr.com torture course on Colemak-DH until I hated it, and then honed in on monkeytype.com. But then again, I was absolutely convinced and commited to true,

Should I get a second Hybrid Type-S (Snow)?

Does the Snow version yellow over time with sun exposure? My desk gets decent light so that’s a real concern. Starting with the Pro 3 (Classic / Hybrid), they transitioned to AES plastics for their White and Snow. AES plastics are a lot more resistent to UV-caused yellowing than the original ABS cas

Crushed Topre domes from leaving in carrying case

My travel Pro 2 Type S Truly lives an abused life, gets crammed where it fits, which is usually all keys smashed down. It's perfectly fine. Zero issues and it's lived this life since 2015 I think this has to be heavily caveated, and anyone seeing this should take into account the various factors tha

DAO Keyboard HHKB

This, I type on the new DAO keyboard with the HHKB layout, and boy is it a quiet board. This is the quietest keyboard I have ever had. It feels really great to type on and I really quite like the distinct thock the space bar and enter keys make. The normal keys are more high pitched in sound, but de

Best URSA customer Support email address?

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it is a manufacturing defect that they'll probably fix or already fixed. Honestly IMO is easier for them to just wait until a support claim comes than to replace X specific sets of keysets. I installed them on a HHKB Classic and they gonna stay there forever cause I'm not riski

Feeling of Hybrid Non-S vs Classic

That may solve my issue, but I will probably need to invest a few hours to do this. It's acceptable when you buy a used one, but a new one should work as designed out of the box β€” especially since it costs quite a lot. Moreover, if this doesn't help in my case, I will feel bad returning it, as it wi
