I'm also looking for an official HHKB wrist rest accessory by PFU but couldn't find it anywhere. =(
Here are some pictures of it (the wooden one):
Wonder if we can do a group buy on this one.. if there's enough interest, that is.
Reaper - didnt know this exisited, would be interested also if you can find it and do a group buy.
Or maybe you would prefer mine
If we can even find one. I've read that it's only available in Japan. The one cactux posted looks interesting.
Where did you get it from? Source and price please. =)
If you are willing to pay $112 USD + shipping go ahead and buy it from geekstuf4u.yea that price is a bit high for a wrist rest wornder if theres another way to acquire it for cheaper
Or maybe you would prefer minethat from a TKL?

I have a friend in Korea who made them for me I will get them some time next week. I will post the pictures and find out if someone is willing to place some orders. For sure the price will be by far less tan $112 ;-)

the reason i ask id because a HHKB isnt a Realforce
Definitely interested. Keep us posted please. You know there are a lot of Realforce owners here so there's bound to be some interests. I'm trying to find this one for my RF and I've commissioned someone to build one from scratch for me.Show Image(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/eddie84/OCN/Mech%20keyboard%20club/th_2CFjD.jpg) (http://[URL=http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/eddie84/OCN/Mech%20keyboard%20club/2CFjD.jpg)]Show Image(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/eddie84/OCN/Mech%20keyboard%20club/th_2CFjD.jpg) (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/eddie84/OCN/Mech%20keyboard%20club/2CFjD.jpg)[/URL]

^ Cool! Thanks man. It sure beats that $140 (w/ shipping) wrist rest from HHKB.that one for the realforce looks nice similar style to my SteelSeries 7G's. But doesnt look very portable with that part that sits under the keyboard

catux is the wrist rest that your having made have any slope to it or is it just flat?
^ Cool! Thanks man. It sure beats that $140 (w/ shipping) wrist rest from HHKB and if the price is right, I might even get 2. One for my RF and another one for HHKB.Actually, several weeks ago I contacted and I asked geekstuf4u how much will charge me to get me the HHKB Pro wrist rest and they came up with such a magic number, and guess what I said: Thank you but no way JOSE ;-).

im guessing the ones your having made are being stained. could i get one stained black or real dark grey so it matches my board?
also for trhe HHKB sized one is there going to be the logo on them?
What kind of wood are you using for this?i would prefer a hard wood. i really dont know that advanteages/disadvantages between the types of hard wood though.
i was wondering what materials this is made out of. also would i get its dimensions (LxWxH)? how easy would this be to cut to size?
Hello,i plan to get one [i know its not leather or wood and its cheap but it should work for now]. if anyone wants pictures let me know.
This item is made of Natural Rubber. The width is 19 1/4 in, the height is 3/4 in and the dimensions are
2 1/2 in. If you need anything else, please let us know. Have a great day.
Thanks
Amanda
Definitely let us know how it turns out after you cut it to size... would be interested to see pics also.can do. i dont know how how fast it will get here, ebay item usually take about a week or so.
cactux any word on that one that you were having made?
My friend is taking his time. I am not putting any pressure on him since he is making a unique one for me. It shall be ready some time next week. Do not worry as soon as I get it I will post some pictures and we may talk about a group buy.sounds good.

anyone find a price btte than this? http://tinyurl.com/6zk527l though it seems a bit thin for my tastes
Also I ended up making my own of wood its by no means perfect but its better than the wrist rest I rigged up before.
@TheProfosist - It looks excellent. How comfortable is it?very its nice sealed hardwood (minus the base hardwood I had wasnt thick enough). I tried to match the angle of the HHKB best I could. The slope should be a tad steeper. O if your wondering HHKB slope is about 7.8 degrees.

The wrist rest looks amazing, would love to see it in ebony, that would look sooo niceyea just made it out of a space piece of hard wood that I found.
But nothing beats the smell of a new OEM HHKB wrist rest.
But nothing beats the smell of a new OEM HHKB wrist rest.I personally think that they are too thin i much prefer 3.5in or greater ones over the standard 2.5in ones.

The clear Bird Electron one interests me but I believe its no longer made or carried anywhere. And the PFU one is readily available just for a VERY steep price.
I picked up this bamboo one from Taobao one for the poker, it fits the HHKB pretty good also :)

The DOX/Poker is slightly longer then the HHKB but it'll more or less fit, it being slightly longer doesn't affect it too much.
Tempted to get one from Eric too now! My Taobao bamboo one is holding up but the one demik has is so nice
I need to get some grip tape though, my wrist rest moves too much ;<
