HHKB Silencing Mod
« on: Thu, 11 October 2012, 04:02:46 »
Hey,


A couple of months ago someone on here modded a standard HHKB with some dental bands, I can't find the thread now!


Can anyone remember it or even better find it?!


Thanks!

"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

Yes. But I had developed RSI since. :( I already purchased Kinesis Adv and will train that as my main, daily kb. I still love the Type-s and will keep as collection.

I will get the type-s soon enough! I am getting annoyed by the rebound noise of the Topre switches so this is a quick fix!

You may know this already, but the keyboard by itself is not the magic solution to RSI.
Some things to consider are:

* Right positions of your : hands, wrists, harms (90 degree), your back.
* The right chair, and desk

Nice to see it's a mod people are interested in.

I bet so ! And it doesn't seem as easy as modding a Cherry MX board (well, at least a Poker) though. Well done :)

Ah. Thank for mentioned me in your blog. Haha
This mod is needed if you are alway bottom down or you got a significant other complaint about the noise. (My wife was complaining whn i first got a un-mod HHKB)
If you like the result of this mode and got extra budget. Typs-S is the holy grail. It felt little bit smoother compare to modded HHKB (my personnel opinion)
