spilled some sticky **** on my hhkb, so I'm using a fc600m mx blue that I got about a week ago. It's pretty nice actually

I got a FC660M PD for my beater board.  I want to swap the switches to ergo clears or vintage blacks, but it is pretty nice stock.

Got this in the mail a few days ago, put some caps I had laying around on it, but I'm planning to do a switch swap once I get my new de-soldering gun.

ZSLANE - What case is that you have on the iGK61?  Is that from iGK61 folks or did you mod it with a standard 60% case? 
Looking to swap out the plastic case on mine.  Dealing with practicalities.  Thanks.

At home right now I'm primarily using my Apple M0116 or my AEK II depending on how many keys I need to use.

At work I'm now using my HHKB though sometimes I rotate it out with my Vortex Race 3.

A rebranded Unitek K-258 with click-modded Orange ALPS. Phenonmal board but some of the stock keycaps went missing so it doesn't look the best.

CM Masterkeys fill size with browns. Not a fan of the tall OEM profile these have. I seem to do a lot of typos because the keys feel too close.

Thanks! It's taking a little bit to get used to the small backspace key, and the lack of homing bumps, but really this layout isn't bad at all! And the switches are so awesome! I may have reached endgame...

Do the ANSI mod and add Alts.
Cognitive distortions are patterns of thought, typically automatic and unconscious, that cause an inaccurate, negative view of situations, people, and/or events. These include things like jumping to conclusions; black-and-white thinking; negative mental filtering; overgeneralizing; mindreading (incorrectly believing we know what others are thinking, what their motives are); and emotional reasoning (believing that if we are feeling something, or if what we are thinking is associated with a strong emotion, it must be true).

Ducky Shine Yellow Edition TKL MX black with Filco yellow keycaps.

It took me ages to get the Filco keycaps.
"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

A highly customized Realforce RGB. One of a kind Anodized Titanium case, Paracord, GMK caps from 3 sets, Backplate painted black mirror, Lubed with Graphite and PTFE plus silencers(O-rings). It now Thwacks like a Topre should. Sorry no pics. Say it didn't happen, up to you. Currently and probably ever I will have interest in anything else. Especially considering the amount of money I put into this. So then the controller dies. I ended up fixing it but not after I ordered a non returnable R2. In case anyone does not know R2 is he same board, different distributer $100 more. Although now the original is selling for $100 more than the R2, go figure! It does not matter to me, I am gutting the thing anyways, I like the way the light shines underneath the GMK caps onto the black mirrored backplate. It is pretty dim compared to stock. I prefer it that way. The case is anodized Black as well. Plus I have a custom wrist rest I had CNC'd that I have seen the likes of nowhere else. I can "rock" my wrists on it but generally I do not contact it. Combined with a modified Logitech MX Ergo for my pointer. It is modified to 26,000DPI since it is across 3x32" 4K displays. Believe it or not. Up to you.
