Thank you for sharing :)
"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

wcass sent that over for people to try. It's actually fully backlit too! It felt really nice, I think comparable to an F? I'm not used to comparing different BS boards so I'm not able to say much about it. But yeah dude, I liked it!

Just for you mang




The wcass board was a 65%. It's weird. It's tuned to feel kinda like an F but it's got M floppies I guess? Really loved the board. Back lit, no curved plate, great layout

We're working on it. After the Kickstarter for the Model 01, we'll do the symmetric 60 as  kit. Likely via massdrop.

The MA42 from a couple of young bucks was quite impressive.

Also, theVan44 and the story behind it was wonderful.  From intimidation to belief to completion.  Inspiration for all.

when someone gets buckling spring keycaps, are they just the keycap covers or are the the entire cap including the stem etc? I saw what looked like artisans for a model. M maybe I am wrong?
