It's only been a day but I can definitely feel that little difference the purple sliders make compared to when I was using stock slider + hyper's rings.

I was on that setup for the longest time so when I installed the purples yesterday I can tell the difference straight away. The board does feel a bit more tactile now and I like it even more.

I have not tried any other method of silencing, but I do think that these sliders don't take anything away from the feel. 

I also want to get a second hhkb. Hard to justify though! This looks great!

Sounds dangerous! Especially with the state of the CAD right now.

Got this build the way I want it now. Hasu PCB, PBT spacebar, Hypersphere rings, lubed sliders, no logo. Now I want a black one.

MD messed up my order so I will never get my smiling jack :(

Oh and btw, is it supposed to be for fn profile or it's just the angle of the picture?

Yeah it's FN profile.

where does topre actuate is it at the top or in the middle right cherry mx? the actuation point of topre is really really good

[dan002]

The middle? I would guess at whatever point that the cone spring squishes together. It definitely is not at the bottom, but around halfway.

topre/RF keysets are unfortunately pretty rare and/or expensive

I'm thinking that some people who have put novatouch stems on their RF's might not need their default set anymore

yes I've found that all 4 of the PBT space bars match their respective RF sets, which is awesome. proud of myself for having the foresight to buy one of each colour haha

yeah, I am sad that there is no orange and yellow PBT space bar, sigh! nor Pink!

I suppose if you're going to spend a bunch on a Topre board, you may as well go all the way and get a Realforce, HHKB, Leopold, etc.  Usually those that go for Topre are enthusiasts ^{_{or part of the HHKB cult}} and so they are willing to spend the $$$ on a top of the line board.

Yeah, i have one, its a great board. I just leave mine at work for people to use though. It gives the most "genuine" Topre experience for the price though, more than the NT at least.

Speaking of cost, does anyone ever feel like the HHKB is insanely overpriced? Like, insultingly overpriced? Sometimes, with mine, I'll go to pick it up or shift it around on my desk and say, "damn, this **** is plasticky as hell."

I was pretty surprised by how light mine was when I first got it, but it doesn't really bother me now. I guess the upside is that it's better for throwing in a backpack or something. Although im not sure I want to just throw my HHKB in a backpack...  I guess the upsides outweigh the downsides in this case.

I'm also working on that metal case for the HHKB Its also not too hard to throw a few rubber pads on the bottom. I also had that custom plate cut to sit in the bottom of my HHKB case by Jack at olkb.co to help with the weight issue. Still, i absolutely agree that it is underwhelming at first, no way around that.
