Title: Sharing a HHKB set.
Post by: fossala on Sat, 25 February 2012, 15:35:14

I want the modifiers from a blank white HHKB set, does anybody want the rest? I will pay half the price of a set plus shipping to the UK, you pay the other half and keep the rest of the keys.

Do HHBK sets have a different profile to realforce keys?

Don't think so.

I was pretty sure it's the same...

I mixed Orange modifiers once onto my HHKB and didn't notice any difference.

RShift is the wrong length though.

That is what I meant. He asked if there was any difference.

I thought he asked profile as in the height of the keys

Capslock fits there since it's a blank set

By modifiers I meant all the grey keys.

and I think Jim66 is looking to use the blank white keys on a RF if I'm not mistaken and he wants to know if the height matches

Yeah, this is what I was asking.

Could just give him a Key Reference Wiki link.

But where's the fun in that?

Realforce sets have everything you need for a HHKB except for Right Shift. The Right shift on an HHKB is 1.75x length, with a Profile B. Unfortunately the only key that is the same size is the alternate capslock (Realforce key sets come with two. One windowed, one non-windowed). But capslock is Profile C. So you will need to use a Profile C capslock for your 1.75x Right shift. Is it noticeable? I don't think so. Visually it's not that bad off either.

But that all depends on who you ask.
