Title: HHKB on laptop (mac) - USB cable
Post by: jknight on Fri, 11 September 2015, 09:09:26

Hello

For anyone using a HHKB on top of their laptop keyboard (the hhkb front pads slot in perfectly behind the fn and right arrow keys on a macbook) you might like this $5 USB cable:

Tie a knot in one end and it's ideal.

I use a similar cable for my KBP V60. It's great.

My side outlet for the exact purpose. But I recently use bluetooth, though.
