I got this one a while back and posted a short review of it but it was lost during that r00tw0rm episode so here it is again. Black switches (my fave), Aikon controller, unique layout, recessed USB port, odd size spacebar, etc. I forgot which spings it has so will have to check on that.
IIRC, it came from OTD (not sure how many were made).

Weighing in at 2.02 lbs so it's pretty light compares to other Korean customs

As you can see, I'm not much on words (but big on smilies :)) ). Please let me know if you have any question. :)
-
Damn, that's sexy.
Any more info on the OTD?
-
I'll see if I can find some. :)
-
Unique board. Certainly not how I would design it if I were to create one, but it looks cool.
-
Interesting....
-
Very nice keyboard you got there reaper!!
-
^ Thanks but I like yours better. lol :)
-
I have been looking for info on this for a long time, though I found the true HHMX (MX version of the HHKB) on OTD the other day... :P
-
Sometimes I think it's just a name they give to any custom keyboard in general (I've seen a few different variations of HHMX around).
-
Nice review and pics reaper. Any additional information with regards to its layout? Is there a 2nd fn layer? I'm assuming this is programmable? ;D
-

Wait wut?
-
I really like the look of that. I would love to find an acrylic case for a ducky full-size. Did you do the work yourself of have someone else do it?
-
That board came fully assembled so nope. I couldn't even if I wanted to (no soldering station, no skills, etc). lol
-
Is anyone else bothered by the gap where the cable goes?

You can't solder? :O

Nope. Not yet anyway. Been meaning to learn but just don't have the time. :-[
-
I had to learn on the fly one day when I pulled a stem out of a plate mounted switch while changing keys. Its actually easier than you think. :)
-
Yah, that's what everyone told me. I just gotta get a soldering station first and practice! :)
-
I bought a cheap iron from my local radio shack and it worked fine. I would like to get a station but wouldn't use it enough to spend good money on one.
-
If you were closer I'd teach ya. :)

Cool, thanks! I'll go check out some at a nearby RadioShack.

Haha, thanks for the offer and sherryton's also offered me the same thing... I may just take him up on that lesson (since he's closer and all).

And I fixed the title to reflect its correct name.
-
Its confusing, its referred to as the SHMX in some places and HHMX in others, but there is also the HHKB layout in MX called the HHMX. seems like either name overlap, or language barrier or something similar.
-
This has an extra key on top, right? I think it looks a little odd, but its probably the most unique looking keyboard I've seen. Good review!
(As per usual, I am jealous :)) )
-
Heh, thanks and my review is kinda short. I can post more impression of it in a few days. And who knows, you might see some on sale in Classifieds soon. :)

Loving that unique layout.
That's such a smart place to put the controller, spacebar has so much empty space :))
Also TK layout, just beautiful.

I dislike and like the split function keys. Sure it looks cool, but I feel like I would get sick of it really quick.
