Title: [SOLD] My Realforce 87U + $ for your HHKB Professional 2
Post by: GeorgeK on Sat, 23 November 2013, 11:56:31

As the title says - I would like to trade my White and Grey Realforce 87U board for a HHKB Pro 2 in either colour (grey/white or dark grey).  I would want a board with printed keycaps as learning the layout of a HHKB on blanks may well be more than I can put up with!  I'm in the UK for shipping purposes - I have no issue with sending abroad / receiving from abroad.

I bought the RF from hamza_tm a couple of months ago but it's not getting the use I would like as I'm beginning to prefer 60% boards.  It's in a good condition with a tiny amount of shine to the spacebar.  The keycaps could do with a little bit of a clean but they're pretty good overall.  I'll provide pics tomorrow as it's dark here now and getting a good picture would be damn near impossible.  It has been modified by a previous owner (before hamza) to have uniform 45g domes on the alpha section (well all the keys you'd get on a 60% board like a poker) and then 55g domes on the function row, the 3 key num lock section, 6 key home cluster & arrows.

I would prefer a trade, but if there's not one to be had then I would be interested in buying a HHKB and then selling my RF although I'd want to find a HHKB to buy before selling this board - can't be without the oneness of cup rubber :thumb:

Thanks for looking :)

Thank you kind sir - I do enjoy the RF a lot (using it right now in actual fact) but just preferring the 60% boards more and more...  If no-one bites I'll have to sell and buy but would prefer the ease of a straight trade :thumb:

GLWT!

I really like how HHKB layout looks, but I use control and the function row so often that I don't think I could use one. :( wish there was an mx-mini topre board. ^_^

Looks like this isn't going to happen but I'll give it another bump just in case someone missed it who is interested :)

You might have to be willing to put some money on top of the trade to facilitate it.

That I would be good sir - I see the average price for a HHKB on EK is more than that for a RF so I would definitely not be adverse to money + RF for a HHKB :)

Thanks for the tip :thumb:
