I currently own a HKKB Pro 2 and really like it. I wanted to see how the quiet Type-S sounded vs the Pro 2 because at work, I get on some conference calls that I would like to work / type in the background without worrying about the sound going through the phone.
I ordered my first Type-S at the end of last week and it arrived on Monday. I had an issue with it (more below) and returned it for free and got shipped another one. I got the second one today and it is doing the same thing.
Both new Type-S's I have recently received both wobbled slightly on my desk. My Pro 2 does not. If you push down on the HHKB logo on the front right of the keyboard, there is a very faint tap when it compresses, like I am typing out on an ultra quiet Morse code machine. It is almost like a screw is not screwed in tight all the way and there is some play between the top and bottom plastics.
The wobble happens the worst with no legs extended and it is basically unnoticeable when the legs are extended. That said, my Pro 2 doesn't wobble in either leg position or when the legs are not extended at all and the keyboard is flat on my desk. My Pro 2 also has no give and no faint click in the case when I press down either front corner. The Pro 2 feels more solid.
Anyway, I am wondering if this is just a thing the Type-S does or have I gotten two bad ones in a row? I am definitely returning the one I got today but I am wondering if I should try again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... especially from those that own Type-S's. Thanks!
