I want one of those keyboards. What does it cost and what kind of switches does it use? Thanks.

You have to build it yourself.

We need that case and plate for our GH60, sherry. Maybe we can GB just for those, with no PCB?

Although this board looks pretty sharp GH60 will beat it hands down imho, built and supported by the community for the community.

Me too, big driving factor for me:D then we can get our own whenever we want, the prices (hopefully) won't go crazy.

If I can make a GH60 w/ the HHKB layout, AND re-program it, I'll be happy :)

I think that they are adding the HHKB type backspace for the second revision of the GH60. :D Komar said that things will be reprogrammable and I THINK we have a GUI coming, but don't hold me accountable if we don't! :P

It's amongst the eleven posted key layouts in post one... (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34959.0)

Though why you'd leave un-used space is beyond me.

Because more isn't necessarily always better ;)

I know, would like to trim off the top row entirely.  Have the num+F keys on the Q row accessed through a pair of fn keys.  Anyway, we're drifting off onto another topic, is the thick case milled or pressed/cut+welded do we know?


Never mind... scrolled down and answered my own question.  Very thick walled isn't it!
