Title: HHKB - full buildout?
Post by: q1w2e3r4t5z on Tue, 15 August 2017, 06:06:18: Over the last months I went from my vanilla Type-S to the following:

- BKE domes
- Purple RF Sliders
- Hyperspheres
- HiPro
- Hasu BT controller

and I still feel that it needs a decent case or something that makes it a bit more, you know, endgame-y? I know that the true endgame doesn't exist an bla, but I'm on the lookout for something that makes me feel like "WHOA!" again... I tried lots of different switches/boards and I always stuck with my trusty HHKB so there's no real chance I'm going to switch to another board soon.

Nevertheless, I just wanted to see if there is a mod that I haven't have tried yet or if some genius came up with another great idea of improving this experience :)

- Purple RF Sliders
- Hyperspheres

You don't need both of these, just the purple sliders w/ the silencing rings. The hyperspheres would be for stock sliders.

I bought the sliders separately w/o the rings

Any reason the seller separated them?

Nope, but I was fine with that since I had the HS still laying around

Post by: kmba on Tue, 15 August 2017, 08:46:55: From type s.. to hypersphered? why exactly?

There are no replacement cases. You could lube it though. And do you want to sell me your type s sliders?

Post by: tp4tissue on Tue, 15 August 2017, 09:25:45: yea, also, you definitely don't want hyperspheres now that they have the $25 flat rings version

Hypersphere is a major major rip-off.

That said, why are you even doing all this when you can just buy the Type s ??

There were prototypes, but I don't think it actually "ran". It was cancelled because it sucked :p Horrible pinging on key presses, and damned ugly. Alu case for hhkb is much more tricky than other topre boards that have metal plates, because you can just swap the plate.

Rama's ig has a prototype plate, not sure how it would work but i really hope someone attacks the cnc aluminum case thing. would be a very nice change up.

for what its worth. i took a dremel to a broken hhkb case and pcb and put them in a fjell. the controller board made the plates sit way too high, looked silly. plus none of the screw holes lined up of course. but in my mind i pictured it and it was glorious.
