Title: What MX board is most like an hhkb? (Referring to height and angle)
Post by: ArchDill on Wed, 19 June 2019, 15:43:43

I have tried various MX hhkb boards and none of them feel like the hhkb, as far as hight and angle.

What boards are out there that feel the most like hhkb?




So far, for me, the Tokyo 60 feels close, height wise, but it has a more flat angle.

I'm a bit curious about this, but in my mind, I always thought that nothing can quite compare, because the HHKB's side profile is actually curved.

Also, it's the plastic case of the HHKB which adds to it's signature "thocky" feel.

I think the Duck Viper looks to be the closest to the HHKB dimensions.

Like I said, just referring to the height and angle so not worried about the thock. That makes sense on the curved profile. The Viper has a pretty hard slant and I think it is quite a bit taller than the hhkb.
