Title: HHKB Pro2 ESC Key Shape?
Post by: Cicada88 on Thu, 18 June 2015, 13:05:04

Is the ESC key on a HHKB shaped uniquely to the other top row keys?  If so is there any other key with on the board with the same shape?

Entire top row is the same including esc
All other rows diff than top row

Why?????

Cool.  I was just wondering because I'm about to receive my first HHKB in the mail and I see a lot of people selling "escape" keys, but I want blank anyway so it won't matter if it's just a top row key or an escape key!

Careful with the profile though! I'm not sure about other keys, but I bought a Topre keycap from Shapeways which was meant for R4 (the top row of the HHKB) and the keycap came in a bit too high than the rest. It's most probably just because of the manufacturing design they had at Shapeways though. They aren't a keycap manufacturer so they just 3D print it off of specs.
