Title: HHKB+WaterField
Post by: BlindRAGE606 on Sat, 22 December 2012, 12:25:29
I know that the more expensive variant of WF's cases such as the "Keyboard Sleeve" do fit the HHKB, but how about the cheaper "Keyboard Socket"?

Feel free to post pics of your HHKB w/ your WF Sleeve!

Be careful when you put Topre keyboards in a bag.

You could possibly ruin rubber dome underneath a key when it is depressed for a long time. It is less of an issue for Cherry switches which use springs, but it would certainly cause problems on rubber dome keyboards.

I've read conflicting stuff upon more research, so I just ordered a gun sock to keep it in. Hopefully it works out.

Looks sharp, I have seen those pics floating around on the net. Is that yours reaper, missing your logo?

Also, are those keys constantly compressed when in the bag... and has it damaged the keys?

Thanks and yeah, that's mine and the fitting is a little tight in the beginning but then it stretches out (leather).  It touches the keycaps but doesn't press down on them so no problem there.

Which gun sock from Amazon fits the HHKB or Poker 2 best?

I was looking these for my Poker 2 just because they were so cheap...
