New HHKB owner here!
« on: Sat, 08 August 2015, 07:47:36 »
Hi all!

Glad to be joining this forum as I've recently went into a keyboard buying craze to replace my trusted Filco Majestouch.

I've been using mechs that was made by Razer and Steelseries, and as I was getting old, those backlit keys are starting to annoy me. I then researched about what other good mechs are out there and stumbled upon Filco. Here in Jakarta, it's hard to source nice mechs so I had to make do with what is available for me. The Filco at that time is perfect as I got myself the side printed black one with Cherry Browns.

Two years since, and now married (and expecting a baby boy!), I feel the need to replace my trusted Filco. Browsed and Googled around, and it led me to this forum. I started browsing through the nice pictures and guess what I lay my eyes on.. HHKB!!!

That keyboard to me is pure sex. Simple and classy. I had to get one, so I bought the black one with printed keys, as that's the only one available locally. Right away I bought the blank blacks online and the colored esc and control too. Oh, and the 1upkeyboard sleeves too.

Then as I kept browsing on reddit and stuff, I just can't take my eyes off the white one... so I bought it too. Ordered white blanks for it too. All that is left for me now is to get some artisans, a.k.a. BRO CAPS!

I need those so badly I will pay nice amount of money :D

Welcome to Geekhack!

Congratulations on your upcoming addition (the baby boy) - I hope things go smoothly :)  You'll need a quiet keyboard for a while after that - HHKB is perfect.

Also to dampen the sound of mine even more, I use a folded sheet of drawer liner underneath.  Very quiet keyboard then.

"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

That was quick!  Or are you reporting something that happened a little while ago?

Either way, congratulations! :D

Congrats Raymogi! Nice to see a fellow Indonesian here :D I'm not Indo, but I grew up there for almost 18 years of my life. Where did you manage to find an HHKB in Jakarta? =))

Also, congrats on buying those two brobots on Reddit just now! They're really nice. The non-trans one looks like Matcha haha.

There's quite a few threads on dental banding an HHKB (or other Topre keyboard), here's just a few of them:

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36383.0
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40582.0
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49163.0
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51403.0

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60983.0
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61002.0
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68128.0


The thing is, a Type-S HHKB has slightly thinner sliders, so that the switches can return higher up, like the non-Type-S does.

If you put dental bands, or something similar, on a standard HHKB you will find that the switches are permanently down by the thickness of the rings.

Are you sure this is something you want to do?  I just enjoy the Thorpe thock, and remove my folded drawer liner if I want more thock.

Nah I was just curious about the process. I wouldn't dare to pry open the case.

If I wanted the sound of the Type-S, then I'll just go and buy a Type-S. Make it a complete HHKB Pro 2 family :D

Well done!  You have found an argument to resist the temptation!

Now just try to ignore the fact that it is a HHKB, it has Topre switches, and it has dedicated arrow keys, and you'll be fine :p

Welcome and congratulations. You have chosen a truly great keyboard. It took me a while (and I went through many types of keyboards) before adopting the HHKB Pro 2 as my primary board at home and work. I've modded one of them with 55g domes and Silencing Rings along with a new set of blue Topre alpha caps.

109231-0

The image shows the version with black lettered mods, but I have replaced those with black blanks. Enjoy your HHKBs!
