Just a new guy saying hi.
« on: Wed, 27 July 2016, 08:22:23 »
Figure best place to start posting would be here. Recently grew out of my corsair/razer phase. Really enjoying the 60% FF, already jumped in the deep end and grabbed a HHKB. Eventually want to start making my own boards, but keysets and Artisans will have to do in the meantime.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Excellent choice in keyboard :)

Did you get black or white version?  Silenced?

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

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Just went with the Pro2 in Black no silencing, standard caps. I may try silencing it one day but I actually sort of enjoy the sound it makes currently. Getting used to the layers took a little bit but well worth it. Typing all day for work on this is such a pleasurable experience. Hands down the best board I've ever used.

That great thock sound :)

It changes if you put, say, a layer or two of drawer liner under the keyboard.  I'm using that on my (white, printed, non-silent) HHKB now, and I feel that it improves the sound.

Without the mat I get a lot of sort of thumping echoes from the desk.


Did you get printed or blank keycaps?  Not that there's much difference with the black version :))
