Thanks for these. Well I think you have to add some specification for that. I means what is new or what is different from the others.
BTW Welcome sidewinder.^^ I am known an Nappeundonghwa on otd or Yisanghannaraeudonghwa on kbdmania.^^

Both look good. The shades of grey on the DKSaver work well.

Nice job. I notice you also have a custom wrist rest as well. Thanks for sharing I know it is difficult to do that on a board that is not in your native language. I mostly lurk on KBMania when I get my next set of boards in I was planning on posting pictures of them on KBMania as well as here. Same goes for some custom key work I'm going to be doing in a week or so.

Welcome to geekhack! I had already seen you post these pictures on KBDMania too. The DKSaver is very nice.

Are that keycaps from a DOLCH keyboard?
I guess the 356CL uses keycaps from Cherry Cyrillic board (two-shot?)

Very nice, I wish I could get a 356CL one day.

The DKSaver looks interesting.  What's the LED by the arrow keys for?

Honestly, I have a hard time understanding the appeal of the 356-- but mostly due to price.

I'd pay USD 75 for a build-it-yourself keyboard kit, as much for the fun of building as for the keyboard, but the 356 costs as much as two or three quality keyboards.

Compared to HHKB HG it's kind of cheap.

I wasn't thinking of the HG Japan but the standard HG (without Urushi lacquer) which has an Aluminum case produced in small quantities.

Yea that one has a very nice case. Too bad you can't get them any more I would love to have one of them.

I thought they were made when ordered. Have read that somewhere.

yeah... $75 would be a great price for a keyboard kit :)

Well, considering that Cherry can sell a keyboard for $65 which contains all the parts, PLUS labor to assemble it and testing, I'd say, they could toss all the parts in a box before the assembly step and ship it out the door for $75 easily.

Yes they where built to order but you can't order them any more or at lest that is what it looks like to me. I have the link to the page around here somewhere ah ha here it is (http://www.pfu.fujitsu.com/direct/hhkbhg/) that red box at the top translates to :

July 2007 in 31 days with Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional HG / HG JAPAN longer accept orders.


But they have the price they were asking for them still on the page and I have to say for that price I could make the case myself for less. They wanted 262,500 yen for it or approximately 1k. I guess I will just have to make one myself.

The letters are lasered after assembly.

i'm hoping double-shot caps would make up for the lack of assembly XD
