Where do you guys find thes HHKB sets?
« on: Tue, 04 April 2017, 07:02:15 »
I'm not new to mechs, but very new to the keycap scene. I just got my black HHKB in after waiting months to pull the trigger and seeing a lot of really slick HHKB boards with colored modifier keys.

Every search I do gets me no where.

It's mainly artisans, however, you can also get custom dyed caps from /u/crj3012 on reddit.

The best casted resin mods are from Key Kollectiv and Aero Keys. There are a couple of new makers on the market though, Check out r/mechmarket.

Some people put MX-compatible sliders in their HHKBs so that coloured MX keycaps can be used in certain positions.

Like those from [CTRL]ALT - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=77300.msg2396510#msg2396510

(Yes I know it's not an HHKB, but you get the idea.)
"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
