ok, the basic idea for this thread is to share some things that i've found.
i decided to swap the rubber domes out on my hhkb.
just to try these other domes that i harvested from another keyboard.
out of curiosity to see what they would feel like.
i harvested the domes from my sony BKE-2011
the domes inside this keyboard have the carbon foot inside them, instead of a spring.
so i had to remove that to make room for the spring.
here is a comparison shot of the traditional topre dome, vs the sony dome.
and here is a photo of how nicely all of them fit into the hhkb.
and lastly..
a photo of them both cut in-half to see the difference in thickness of the dome itself.
i think that the domes from the hhkb are much more thin on the collapsing walls.
was hoping for more grams of force than more tactility.
but in the end i don't mind what the outcome was.
essentially it has become much more tactile. and a bit louder. but its not that bad tbh.
i told myself that i would stick with it for a few week before i swap them back.
they feel a bit more firm than stock domes. and there is definitely a more noticeable bump.
it is a nice change. but also, not cheap to get one of the sony keyboards just to make this mod work.
i think this post may trigger some people.
if it does. i apologize.
