Some stuff I saved over time, so no sources, but most should be from otd or kbdmania. I know the ErgoDox is from Glod though.

Dustins purple/black "pre skeletor" HHKB. I chose this photo before the skeletor was added because i immediatly bought my HHKB right after he posted this. I didnt have the cash on hand, and just stuck it on my credit card without thinking twice. I had alot of credit card debt at the time and I am normally not an impulse buyer. The chain of events that led to my "excessive" keyboard spending can be traced all the way back to when this damn photo was posted.  :p

By ComradeSniper from the Topre thread.   I sold my HHKB a few weeks ago and have been regretting the decision.  This inspired me to buy a blank Type-S last week.

All I know is that a handful of these were made for a section of the German Police force, and spent some serious time in sunlight over the years and now have a faded green-ish-blue color on the mods. I think the misconception of Triumph Adler came from someone guessing in that GMK Set Ideas thread a while back

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Do you happen to know what that rubberband is for? To reduce any ping sound maybe?
