i have those keys mapped to my window control buttons in openbox (yellow=minimize, blue=maximize, purple=close) but i am looking for green and red to replace the blue and purple, so it will match OS X window control colors ;)

I find it interesting that the white HHKB mini usb port is near the right part of the screen (around the + | ) cluster but my black HHKB Pro 2, which I bought this year has the mini USB part at the middle, around the 8 9 keys area.

Is sth's HHKB version 1 or ..?

Mine (white, no idea about the age) has the mini USB port behind the 8, very slightly towards the 9, fwiw.

[Belfong]

Mine is at the edge of 8, almost touching 9. Strange!

It is an HHKB Pro (1) the later version is marked HHKB Pro 2 the earlier version has no number designation or usb hub.

[Belfong]

Oh! That's a great catch!

Duh to me!

Lol! I was going to write it but totally forgot )

It's because I have tape on it to prevent shining. I know it's hideous but it actually feels good and will prevent shining. It's worth it... if you can get over the hideousness of it )

Also if you wouldn't mind.. Could you try adding a red key to ~ and also chuck on the red spacebar?

Remove the tape and let it Shine! EK has black Topre spacebars for $4.50 ea. I bought a few in case the rumors are true about no more replacement keysets from Topre.

hehehe. Yeah, doods. I considered the option but I TOTALLY forgot to add one or two to my order when I ordered these :( Now I have to have a larger order to justify the shipping on the spacebars. I guess I'll just use mine and let it shiiiiiiiiiiiine... watch them go out of stock the moment I want a new one :))

I know for sure, if white ones come in stock too, I'll be sure to put in an order for 2 of each instantly.

[dustinhxc]

Damn dude making me wish I didn't sell my white blanks ha

Nah I meant the top right key on the HHKB, "`" and "~", so that it's symmetrical with the red ESC Cheers!

Threw on my yellow/black hypnocap and yellow WASD onto the 87UB -- goes pretty well with the yellow of the Zowie FK and the Zowie mouse bungee thingy.

Dat iPhone low light quality though...  Good thing I have already requested a real digi camera as my holiday present.

So if CM doesn't sell regular topre switches with Mx stems will you guys buy a cm topre board and switch out the switches to your HHKB if you guys can? Or your topre realforce?

If we can get some in a HHKB/Realforce we are going to see some sexy boards in the coming months.
