Woo more responses! I didn't think to check until now, I should have set the thread to notify earlier.
Cool cool!
Clears are great. I sadly haven't finished building my keyboard with clears.
But the change to the HHKB layout is a bit difficult.
If you keep using it, you get use to it, but the transition period when you swap keyboard is what always messes me up.
How are you liking the topre switch?
That's one clean board. Looks cleaner than mine! I'll have to give it a nice cleaning when I get the chance
I love clears! Although the WASD v2 87 has this really annoying ping sound when you type on it. I've been looking at GH articles on dampening the noise.. although I'm not sure if it's mostly the switches or the case, or both?
Oh man, I love the HHKB feel and sound. The backslash and grave still cause me to look at the board sometimes, but I'm comfortable with using Fn for arrow keys now. This keyboard has also been really nice when using vim.
Haha I love this story. Not the beginning, but the ending.
Welcome! Hope you stick around for awhile.
You can count on it. Hopefully, I can figure out something to do to help contribute... but as far as participation goes; my girlfriend and I always carve pumpkins for halloween so hopefully we can carve up some good ones for the bunny/bro carving challenge
. I'm also going to have a whole bunch of binge's stickers soon, pretty excited about that.
Welcome to Geekhack!
A wonderful story of an HHKB brought back from the brink. Mine fortunately only had a bit of shine on the space bar, alleviated by replacing it recently with a PBT one from matt3o (highly recommended, btw).
I also didn't get the original box with mine, but I did get a cable. Fortunately most standard USB cables work.
I really want one of those spacebars! That group buy was done on massdrop right? I think I remember seeing it. Hopefully there will be some more soon! You know I had a hell of a time finding usb to usb-mini locally. At first I went to radioshack and they wanted $21 for a usb to usb-mini... uhh yeah right. I grabbed a few from amazon for $5 ea and got them in two days! That also allowed me to get white ones.
