I like the Dolch vibe this brings. Dolch + CMY is always a favorite around here...

It looks good! Though the mods in the different profile would bother me a bit.

Haha yeah it's actually not that bad since the bottom row is pretty much the same (didn't need to swap hi-pro switches). I tried it with the two Hi-Pro shifts as well. I really couldn't decide!

I've lived with my black 55g HHKB now for a while now.  But every time that I came into geekhack I always saw so many purdy white ones.  I just had to get one.


Not sure if keeping both is sane or not.

Sold 1 so now I just keep 1 at home and 1 in my main office :)

The wierd thing is now that I have both white and black HHKB boards in front of me I don't know if im going crazy from lack of sleep but the black board seems to exhibit more thock.  Both boards right now are 45g just so I can test if there are really any differences.  The black board seems to be louder in a good way.  The white board is still alive and fun, just more subtle. 

I think im going nuts.

how long have you had both boards? perhaps the domes have worn out a bit

you should close your eyes and have someone place one of the two boards under your hand, then press some keys on it and try and guess the board

Ive had the black one for maybe 9-10 months I believe.  The white one is 1 day old.

You are probably right about the rubber domes hardening or something.

I had one. It wasn't for me for some reason. I prefer the FC660C and the Realforce in that order.

I put the blue on it and didn't like it as well just FYI.

[Solo]

The blue definitely looks good on the RF, probably because of its light modifiers.

Okay, so I'm totally ignorant to what's available in Topre, but what is this? O_O An aluminum-cased Realforce?

Edit: DIGILOG, I SEE! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Aluminum-Keyboard-Housing-with-USB-2-0-HUB-for-Topre-Real-force-87U-Silver-/161162921107?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item25860f0493&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true

Very nice, Bromono! I'm not usually an artisan guy, but I have to admit, you've done your board up very tastefully and the colors are very coordinated!

Lol, it's such a perfect theme too. Got the lycans and the reaper, and the other keys topped with red look pretty bloody to boot. That combined with a board that's heavy enough to be used as a murder weapon, and you've got a great horror-themed keyboard, haha.

I know this feel exactly. The 660C is definitely the better feeling purely based on switch (at least that's how I felt about the lighter OG first gen 660C I had). Only reason I ended up sticking with the HHKB was because of the looks and layout.

I don't believe you have this one in your catalog Vesper. I'll take a decent photo of it when I have some good natural lighting. It's a lighter blue than Interstellar Blue.

Caps are all personal preference anyways. I find SA to be my favorite, followed by POM Cherry. The Topre PBT are nice, but I don't like the homing bars.

It's also a bit spendy right now scavenging the sliders from a Novatouch. When the JTK sliders go on sale, I'm sure we'll see a few more.

I agree with this. I think Topre sets look amazing, and mixed with novelties they are unique and awesome.

I also don't see a problem when I see people posting the same Cherry keycaps/sets.

Everyone's photos are unique because of their boards, lighting, room setting, desktop, etc.

I don't know, the thread is about posting your topre boards, so thats what we do. Besides, I feel like my boards are fairly unique, I haven't seen anyone with the same caps as I do. Just check vesper's post above
