alright you mx peasants (<3) i think it's time to convert more of you to the hhkb side. so, in doing my part to please the Topre Gods, I will put my beloved HHKB in a U.S. tour. First round will be 10 people. Now, this HHKB is near and dear to my heart so please treat it with the respect is deserves. and don't steal it. or the HHKB goons will find you, and beat the **** out of you.
About the keyboard:
It was crowdfunded through GH when all I had was a ****ty siig minitouch. Moose started it (RIP uncle moose, for real) and I'm not 100% sure who donated but they're awesome and I'll never forget it. So please, don't steal it. Like, for real, don't. I'm trusting you. DONT STEAL MY KEYBOARD.
It's completely stock, aside from the black printed keyset. No lubes, not dumb ass silencing. It's how the HHKB gods intended it to be. Pure unadulterated topre goodness. No, the reaper won't be included.. I'm not that nice OuO. It'll be cleaned, as it's a little dusty right now. It won't have the USB cable.. this is GH, you all should have enough mini USB connectors already. AND, because I live the HHKB life.. the first three people the convert to the HHKB life.. I will give you each 50 dorrah towards a new (or used) HHKB. You must buy it first, then I'll send you the money. All I ask is that, if for whatever reason you quit the church of topre.. you die in a fire.... OR, you discount 50 dorrah from your asking price.
So, what is the catch?
You MUST have a minimum of 200 posts and 2 months being a member. I mean 200 posts that count, not total. Lesbihonest, off topic is the best subforum but it doesn't bring anything to the table that'll make me think you're serious. The only way to get around the requirements is if a seasoned member vouches for you.. and even then, I'll have to think about it. I'll need all your address and contact info including phone number in case somebody wants to go awol on my ****. One person ships to the next and so on until we reach the last person.
First ten people get in the first round, if all goes well and I don't get jacked (seriously, don't steal my ****) I'll do another round.

TL:DR
You want to try hhkb? you got it. First three to convert get 50 dorrah towards an HHKB. Change your mind? Sell that HHKB 50 dorrah less. 200 posts/2 months requirement. Address + contact info needed (including number). DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****.

Would like to try this keyboard everyone raves about. I'm a bit hesitant to try it, but if this is the only way without buying then Sobe it. I won't have it longer than a couple of days, and I'll pay priority shipping to the next person. I'd prefer someone in the Midwest as shipping outside that can get ridonculous expensive.
You're a cool guy, demik. You run around and doesn't afraid of anything.

is there a point in trying to pick one up that has been dental banded is my question
i sense a tad of sarcasm so will heed your advice on a stock hhkb

the more HHKBs out in the wild, the better.
Post by: Glenmael on Mon, 01 February 2016, 23:50:50
well personally i've never used a dental banded one, but some people like them. i own this one and a type s. don't really notice much of a difference. and the only reason i got the type s was because it was at a great price. i was perfectly find with me "normal" hhkb tbh. but uh, if u find one and want to try it.. why not? i mean, you can always take the bands off if you don't like it.
the more HHKBs out in the wild, the better.
well put :)

That makes sense. I've noticed all the custom MX boards you've accrued. If you had tried Topre early, you'd have no need for another MX board. :-*

I love MX linears, particular Vintage Blacks and Gateron, but that's about it. I tried Zealios after having used a Realforce for months, but nothing beats Topre in terms of the best tactile experience. Zealios are great, but Topre is just something else.
And as for clicky, everyone knows buckling springs are GOAT.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I've spent TONS on random switch and spring combinations, and settled on my MX switch of choice as Vintage Black (so, so smooth) and my Gateron switch of choice as Clears (well any of their linear switches, however the clear ones look the best to me). Topre at work and Topre when I want some Tactile action (and if I'm on Skype, lol)

I was going to say something like this. ^^
Topre switches, and especially the HHKB, are the most satisfying tactile experience in mass production today. Browns, clears, and their variants just feel wobbly and cheap by comparison. My favorite linear switch is a slightly-stiffer-than-stock MX red. Blues are fun on occasion for the click factor, but I won't need that anymore as soon as I get my Elipse F77. ;D

Here's the thing: for some, you have to give it time. The first day or few I actually didn't like my Realforce much. I typed on it and thought, "That's it?" Mind you, this was when $200 was a lot to spend on a keyboard to me, so I had the highest of hypes in my mind. After a couple of weeks, however, and constantly swapping between different keyboards during then, nothing could or can pry me from my Realforce. I now keep mine at work where I do the most typing in the day. :D

I think there has been at least one low profile US tour on GH over the years. But I'm old and could be wrong about that. I've got a 55g RF that I've considered putting on a tour. It's a bit heavy for me. I mainly use a RF variable silent and an HHKB Pro2 non-silent.

I liked the 55g RF more at first but have come back round to the HHKB, I have had a lot of use out of both now (RF55g at home and HHKB type-s at work) and the HHKB just feels better and better, not that I dislike the RF.

Why metal? I thought one of the boons of the HHKB is that is uses a plastic plate.

Same here. Typing on my new 87UB for 2 days now and it feels more tactile and smoother. Must be due to the plate vs case mounting on the HHKB... or the 55g switch is just smoother.

If there is enough interest I can add a 104 Realforce into the mix, with a silenced purple slider numpad and stock TKL portion. I could probably even add some 55g to it as well.

I'm at the office right now (8AM to 9PM today :() but I'll be sending the HHKB along to FLFisherman tomorrow morning, and once I have tracking I will post it in the OP.
Perfect. More time to buy some art supplies.

If the HHKB can beat my Realforce 55g, I may not need to buy any other keyboard, no matter how fancy it may seem.

The main reason I bought an RF87U over the HHKB was dedicated arrow keys.
That's fine, was it 55g at least? 55g RF is the only exception.

Is the Type-S really silent? Judging from the videos, the thock is (luckily) still there, which makes for most of the sound IMHO.

But I own a white fc660c so getting a type-s @ 300$ is a little tough since I own a white/grey scheme topre board already (buying it anyway) and getting a black one in a couple month(when my wife calms down about a 300$ keyboad) is going to happen regardless... But mark my words, I will own both.

Why is the Type-S so much more? Isn't it just dampened/silenced somehow?

not that much more silent. definitely not worth the premium price IMO. best bet is to find a deal from amazon jp or somebody selling it in classifieds. ive never had a problem with the pro2 so maybe i can't hear that much difference?

well, what's your take on it?
I liked it, but not enough to switch. I feel like I would enjoy the HHKB a lot more if I traveled with my keyboards for use at school, library, or at work but I didn't find the experience different enough to convert, even though I might buy a HHKB or RF 55g down the road for a Topre board.
On the plus side, it did convince me to change the layout on my Eagle back to the HHKB layout!

Topre is quieter to a lot in comparison...I'd even say it's quieter than me typing on my MX blacks right now because of the bottom out noise. I find that a lot of Topre's noise is from the upstroke.

i think the pro2 spacebar is loud as fck, even on the type-s version. i lubed it and that helped, but it needs even more suppression in my opinion.
but i guess it's more the contrast, and not the spacebar itself. because all the silenced non-stabilized keys are really really quiet, and then the spacebar is just 30 times as loud.
it drove me crazy, to the point where i stopped using it. now that i've lubed it, i can use it again, but i'm still not satisfied with the sound of that spacebar.
the reason i think it's the contrast is because i can happily type on a IBM F without getting annoyed by anything. but that hhkb spacebar, omfg..

Give your wife one as well, convert her! I did it with my GF and now she never complains since she went from some absolute POS to a HHKB a gave to her. True story!

Interesting... I can only compare my HHKB's with my 87UB and I think that my 87UB is quieter than my HHKB. I guess it's because the plate mounting in the 87UB absorbs more resonance / pressure then the case mounting of the HHKB.

That spacebar is indeed very loud. Some days it annoys me. I am also not really sure why it is so loud. Perhaps the larger hollow area under the cap compared to other caps multiplies the sound?

Funny, my favorite part of using the HHKB besides the potential portability and layout was the spacebar. I thought it felt much more solid than Cherry spacebars and I found the sound quite nice as well, but I'm still a Cherry heathen too.

i'm trying to find out what i can do to silence the sound more. luckily i got some advice and found a few good posts.
unfortunately i'll need to order some materials first, so i can't test it out just yet.

Been having way too much fun with demik's HHKB. I mean by typing on it. Sad to have to let it go after this week as I won't be able to get one for a few more months, but saving for the Type-S will be werfit.
Initial thoughts:
Felt kind of cheap compared to other boards. The plastic case was an offputter, and its lightness detracted from its appeal.
Typing on it is spectacular, and, although it's 10g lighter than my Realforce, it still somehow feels very sturdy and very solid.
That said, the clunk of the caps against the plastic plate wears my fingers out, which is weird because I don't get that issue with my 55g Realforce. I'm really, really missing a num pad, even if it's one embedded in the board itself like the Realforce or a kustom. The arrows and Backspace get a little taking used to (I usually hit the Backspace with my ring finger, so hitting it with my pinkie is weird).
What I love most about it, though, is the sound. Wondering now if I should go for the Type-S or regular white.

i actually use my ring-finger for the backspace. try it out? :-)
as for the weighting, i had the same issue going to 45g, from 55g, but as i typed on it more i adjusted rather quickly. but that's just my experience!
and if you end up getting one, you could consider hasu's controller to make it fully programmable. then you could put the numpad and fn key anywhere you'd like :cool:
also, let us know which one you got ;D

My post office has a drop-off area, and that's where I put it. The first and last time I asked a clerk, they told me to take it there.
It's the largest post office in Chicago, so I don't know if they just take a bit longer. Usually I'm not concerned when mailing other packages as they go through fine, but, with this being demik's HHKB, I'm a little antsy.

Taking the unit out of the box, the first thing I noticed about the keyboard is how light it was. After using custom 60% keyboards with aluminum cases, Model M's, and my weighted KUL TKL, this is a bit of a shock. The case has a plastic thickness and feel reminiscent of early Sega controllers. The sealed enclosure with the rounded corners is quite attractive though. On the back there is a little compartment with what appears to be a battery door. Opening it up I found the select switches that control some of the functions. The caps are black text on smoke plastic. This keeps the board consistent with the clean feel of the smooth exterior. It appears that the space bar is installed incorrectly however. I will leave it be for the time being.
Plugging in the board was quick and simple. There was no lag finding the hardware drivers like I experience with some of my customs or modified boards. Typing on it is a very shocking experience. Before I even have a chance to pay attention to the switches, I notice the layout I am unaccustomed to. I instantly have issue finding the backspace, instead repeatedly entering a single left quotation mark (`) each time I try to fix something. After the first few lines of confusion an frustration, I was surprised by how easily I adjusted. What surprises me even more is how much I like it. I might have to reprogram my 60%. Continuing to type, I pay more attention to the switches. The "thwok" isn't as satisfying as I was lead to believe by the hype, but it is a decent sound. Pressing on the keys, at this point, feels like pressing into mashed potatoes before popping bubble wrap. It is nice, but nothing to write home about. However, each keypress feels like I am moving the entire board slightly. The low weight of the unit seems to have some downsides. I sense that the underside toward posterior of the board does not have rubber feet while, and all of the traction of the board is from the front feet. The upward force of the "thwok" in concert with any stiction of the keys with my fingers seems to bounce the back end of the board.
Of more dire concern is the failure of some keys to register. It seems that keys toward the middle of the board such as the g, h, and space bar occasionally refuse to register a keystroke. Due to only trying this board which has been through the woes of the USPS, I can't tell if this is something that is a fault of the board, a fault of this individual unit, or a fault of my typing. I bring up the faults in my typing because these switches do not seem to work like I am used to. Often, as I get my typing momentum going, I will fail to press a key entirely. I feel as if I have to strain to bottom out these switches to incur activation. This is especially noticable when I type the same letter in succession (e.g. tt cc and ss in those last few words). The second keypress consistently fail to register unless I take a moment to pause between presses to complete the upstroke. This limits the speed at which I type, and breaks my concentration from what I am trying to convey. While I could adjust to this over time, it seems detrimental to my performance.
I'm going to take a break and let things sit for a bit. I will return to my review later, after I return from work. This break is welcome, because my fingers are actually quite tired from using this board - a surprise since I use keys with 60+g activation force regularly.
---------------------------------------------
My cat investigated the HHKB. His opinion seems to be that it smells funny and probably is dangerous.
---------------------------------------------
Ok, Round 2. This is review is starting at 6 PM, the other stuff was around 9:30-10 AM. Let's do a little light browsing with the board. I'm going to open up chrome and **** around for a bit.
...
After playing with this a bit, I've noticed a few things. I browse things with the arrow keys and pgup/dn more than most probably do, so the function key is important here. The location of the function key is fine by me, but the keys on the function layer are not. My left hand is dominant, so performing tasks with the right hand takes a bit more focus. The requirement to hold the Fn key with my pinky finger while simultaneously using the unintuitive arrow pad is difficult. While I think I could get used to the layout of just the arrow keys, the page buttons and the home/end seem to baffle me. Not that I ever use it, but what is the point of including a scroll lock without a number pad? I don't think I would ever use the math keys to the left of the home/end keys. They are too far away while using the function button.
I'm going to do some work in Excel now.
...
That was painful. This keyboard is NOT made for spreadsheet work. I mean sure, the control button placement is ok - I don't hate it. However, the odd button combos you need to hold for advanced maneuvering (e.g. shift+ctrl+down) is more strain than it is worth. I might as well use my mouse and just scroll down the entire sheet. Also, I need to stay away from the left side of the board while holding the function layer, I kept turning down my music while trying to move down columns.
On one hand I want to fault the board for all of these little problems. If I wanted to have to relearn my entire typing skill, I would switch to DVORAK and be done with it. while the blacked out caps may suggest it is made for someone with touch typing muscle memory, it also rails against those honed skills by asking the user to learn things that seem unnatural. However, what is to say a keyboard can't have a learning curve? There is no reason that these little changes might improve my abilities to slap glyphs onto a text file. From the standpoint of something designed by a cloistered programmer in the mid 90's, these changes are good enough. There are people out there that think H J K L are perfectly reasonable arrow keys, and maybe me not being among them is of mere preference rather than a design flaw.
Now that I have spent some more time with it, I think I like the switches a bit more. While they still feel like rubber to me, I think the thwok is starting to grow on me. I can feel the tactile response more, and it is good. But, not all is well. Something is still wrong with the keypresses not registering properly. I still occasionally drop letters from not bottoming out properly, and consecutive letters still require extra attention to produce properly. My keyboard at home (Cherry MX Clears) sits 11.5" away from the edge of my desk and I sit with my hips about 5" away from the lip of the desk. Use of the HHKB seems to work best 7.5" away fom the desk lip with my hips 8" away from the edge. Now I'm no ergonomics nut, but the measurements are there for posterity.
Ok. I expect this is going to go poorly but I'm going to fire up an FPS and try gaming with this thing.
...
That went better than expected. I decided to pull out Borderlands Pre-Sequel. I haven't played any FPS's in a while, so I wasn't top notch. But I was expecting a load of problems playing on a board which I a not accustomed to with an odd layout. Outside of some control key issues, it went pretty well. Note that I picked a game that was 60% friendly. Something like Binding of Isaac which requires the use of WASD in addition to arrow keys would be nigh impossible, but that is a known limitation of all 60% layout boards. I also chose not to do a multiplayer game like TF2 (2000+ hours ftw) since I have odd binds all over the place making it difficult on a 60%. I don't feel like I dropped keys or stuttered while playing like I do while typing. I should note that the finger strain has returned.
---------------------------------------------
Now that I've had a day with this thing, have I been converted to the church of Topretology? Let me break the review into two parts: one for the HHKB and one for the topre switches, then I will sum it all up.
The HHKB is a cute little package. It comes wrapped in trappings of something that would evoke nostalgia in the millennial set. The caps have a nice feel, and the dark color scheme is very aesthetically pleasing. It feels very much like a toy--and I don't view that as a bad thing. It fills a niche for something which you can buy new, comes prepackaged, and has decent quality. This is a product that would fit well with someone who likes having something that is, in the owner's opinion, the best of the best. There is no assembly required. Customization seems limited to cap replacement, as the construction of the case, with the internal clasps and battery door on the back, is probably not designed to be mixed and matched. There are plenty of artisan caps out there to make it your own. As with sushi and esoteric timepieces, the Japanese excel at producing something which has pre-packaged uniqueness. I have personal problems with the layout, but that simply means it wasn't designed for me. It was designed for those who adapt to the new rather than cobble together their own or resort to the primitive standards.
My opinion on Topre switches is not so kind. I did not enjoy my feeling of oneness with cupped rubber. As my strained fingers continue to write this, struggling over the dropped characters, I long for something that works properly. While the sound is nice as the keys thwok down, the mushiness of the rubber domes cannot be overlooked. While some may find this to be akin to typing on clouds, I find it to be closer to typing on lard. The delay while resetting the keys from bottoming out requires extra attention to be paid to the keypresses. These switches are not all they are cracked up to be.
Coming out of this lukewarm review, I ask myself why these boards are considered to be the end-game for so many aficionados. True, typing on one is not really comparable to any other switch on the market, but that may be for the best. The memetic reverence for the Topre switch and the HHKB seems like it must be put on. Perhaps it is only popular because someone else has said it was so. If I was an inexperienced user coming from only knowing the black, red, blue, and brown Cherry offerings, I might find this newness intriguing. But from my perspective, I feel like I would be changing myself to satisfy the switches. There are better typing experiences out there, and I think my time would be better spent pursuing those.
I will say that I came into this with an open mind. The last thing I want to convey is that I came into this with some sort of chip on my shoulder or preconceived notion about Topre. My intention was to write this free-flowing review with as much candor and honesty as possible. I'm very thankful that demik was kind enough to risk one of his precious babies like this. I'm far away from the epicenters of keyboard thrills, thus I can't really try an expensive board like this at a meetup. Though all I have are Alps and Cherry artisan caps, I'm going to include one in the package as a gift to demik as a token of my appreciation for his generosity.

i would like to see what you think after you've used it for a bit longer, maybe some of the stuff you didn't like about it will grow on you.
also, im wondering that what issue you had about letters not registering is all about. i've never had that problem with either that board or my type s.
one thing i will agree on is, i also find the board to be very light. im usually a fan of heavy peripherals and it's my only gripe against it. but ever since putting a mat under it, i haven't had a problem with it sliding around anymore.
for the record, my favorite switch isn't even what the hhkb has (RF 55g ftw). i just feel like the layout makes up for it and hopefully one day i'll get to see if the 55g dome mod is worth it.

I do a bit of spreadsheet work, and I too couldn't bear to use the HHKB. The thing is that, as you mentioned, a lot of the Fn keys are done with the right hand, whereas the left hand is almost unused. I'm sure this can be remedied with hasu's mod; on my custom MX 60%, I have all my Fn layer presses done with my left hand, which is far more comfortable.
I had trouble with the Backspace at first, but surprisingly became comfortable with it. I may have this layout on a few of my next custom boards.
I'm not sure about the unregistered presses either. I don't recall having that issue, and I packed it the same way I received it.
Are you thocking all the way down?
I plan on getting the Type-S this year and, with a few modifications, I foresee it being one of my most-used boards.
Edit:
Forgot to mention that I also found it to be a bit mushy, which is something my Realforce is not. Well, not as much.
I wonder what it is... The lighter keys? The plastic case?

i would assume it's both the plastic mount and the lighter keys. this mushy experience was way worse on the lighter keys on the variable version.
in comparison, the 55g plate-mount feels very snappy indeed

In boxing, missing a punch takes more energy than connecting. If people are trying to type on a HHKB without bottoming out, I wonder if its the same principle as boxing? With cherry, you can type without bottoming out without fatiguing your fingers, but the resistance on a Topre board is completely different. It also pretty much begs to be bottomed out. I've never had problems with fatigue on my HHKB, and I type heavier on it naturally then I do on other boards. Not something I do consciously, but Topre rewards you for bottoming out, IMO.
Perhaps something to consider when trying out the HHKB tour. I'm not saying hammer the keys, but the super light typing some people like to do on Cherry probably won't produce the same results.

But from my perspective, I feel like I would be changing myself to satisfy the switches. There are better typing experiences out there, and I think my time would be better spent pursuing those.
For me, 55g (RF, not HHKB) is where it's at. Also my HHKB Pro 1 is super snappy and feels like 55g, so that's great too. But the HHKB is a little bit mushier IMO and in terms of representing what Topre can feel like is not the best representation. I do enjoy it quite a bit though.
As for the layout, the arrow keys took me the longest to get used to but now they feel very natural. The only hard part is pressing more than one arrow key at a time, depending on which keys you are hoping to press. I'm sure it's *much* harder for some who is not right hand dominant, though. I could go either way on the Ctrl placement, and backspace in HHKB location is now a must for me on all of my boards.
The weight has never bothered me, but I have two little feet that moose gave me on the back half of the board, so it helps keep it in place. I also use mine on a mousepad, which I'm sure helps. I actually really like that it's so light, because it adds to the "simplicity" factor of it for me. It's a very minimal board and the reduced weight only helps. That said, I will definitely buy a metal case if/when it is released. :))
Claiming Topre as "end game" for me has been an interesting process. I still don't think it's the best switch (Model F, no doubt), but in terms of overall use and a balance of feel, noise, reliability, etc it's a very well-rounded switch IMO. It's both familiar and novel. There's just something very...fulfilling...about typing on it.

nope. kinda dont want to either. im afraid i'll hate it. and either hate my hhkb or hate 55g.
the switch is just so damn smooth on a rf board. not sure what it is.

Well I only received my HHKB today (first time on topre as well) but feels true to me. I can say that at first I tried typing on it as I would MX clears or buckling springs and the board felt 'mushy' or 'loose' to me (Idk, those were the descriptors that came to mind as I free associated as I typed). Anyhow, fast forward a few hours once I got home and allowed myself to bottom-out and just type.. I am coming around to liking this board more and more. I do think that I can type faster on it than on the pok3r with clears although I havent done any attempt at controlled testing.
So while I am not part of the HHKB love tour (didnt have enough posts or time at GH) -- I did go out and get one.. and I am enjoying the experience so far... I think:)

Hello this keyboard feels`like typing felt. I am not a fan. Sorry eh. What is the advantage. Spaace bar feels weird.ASDFASDFASDFasdfasdf
You can tell she has been living in Canadia for a while, eh? I'll pick this up a bit later.
---------------------------------
I too am curious about the poor letter registration. To attempt to rule out issues with conflicting hardware or programs running in the background, I am going to do a small test eliminating the possible sources of errors one by one:
---------------------------------
To address the issue I was having with the skipped letters, I'm going to write something reallyfree flowing without usgn the backspace. This means tha you will see all offff badddd armmer and the issues I have been experiencing. I'll admit that I have a hard time NOT using the backspace ile I am typing this. It seems so natural to want to fix my errors. Already you can see evidence of the ekys bing pressed too long and sombeing missed like the e and space between some and beignin the last sentenc.e There we go again. I can't type without errorpopping up to talk about the errors. I also notehat I do double spaces betweeen sentence beginning and end, and thosen't ablways send correctlyeither stupiddddd spaces. And why do some letersdrag on like that? This is not my usual error set orrr uantity, and it is driving me crazy. Now I am going to try to eliminate issue to find the ssoure of the problem.
I have just unpluggemy other keyboard. Previously I had been typing wt boarth keyboards plugged in, but one set to the side. It was possse that the other keybrd was causing this one to skip, but that doesn't seem to be hcase. I still have errors
NOw I plugged the HHKB into a different socket on the computer. This one seems to be going ok so far. I had a hardtime doing it though, the darn USB kept not fitting, despite dturning it over repeatedly. DOesn't it seem like USB plug are devices that exist in more than 3 space? They are like hypercubes. Te errors are still present, and I'm dropping keys occasionally. I'm going to move on to the next step.
I've justshut down google chrome. This stage o the process of elimination I am going to try shutting dow n programs that run in tbcakroungd which might becausing the stuttering. This one seems to not have worked.
Steam is next. Now I won't know which Of my intrnet friends are plaing games without me. Oh how sad. I din't like them anyway. Yep. 'm still getting the drp[ped cracters . I must admit, some of thiese typos are mine and mine aolone. But I can feel qwhen the typing stutters. It seems to lag. Since I am typing in a fvery freeform way, everytimer the text lags behind the words s I say them to myself in my head, it jars me to attntion.
Next up: Foobar2000. This is really a top notc player. I can't stand using itunes, and winamp just han't progressed beyond that rivalry with realplayer years. Yep. Still dropping letters.
It seems I Have stopped everything that isn a system program. I would like to note that I am running Windows 7 on a higher end gaming cpu / mid tier gaming cpu. Don get me wrong, I love this box,but the graphics cards are just crossfired mid tier cards, not Titans. What am I, made of money? I'm typing this out ni NOTEPAD before copyupasting it to geekhack. I have no spellcheck or grammar check running. I am trying to do this on tlightest weight text editor possible for my system.
---------------------------------
I'm going to hand this off to the girlfriend to type on for a bit.
Hello keyboarders. I am testing out the ol' fancy keyboard. It is not as felt-like to my mind today but I am still not a fan. I like a crisper click. My main issue here is that I cannot get used to where delete/backspace is, but I am not having the same BlueNalgene problems with repeating keypresses. I also do not understand why the spacebar is on upside down. It hits my thumb. I think it might get annoying after a hile. I am leving in typos that are not just due to my typing fast, and as you can see there are somewhat fewer. Even then I am so used to using bakspace if somethingesn't quite register so it is really hard for me to tell. I am going to switch to Blue's Cherry Clear for acontrol moment. SCIENCE.
On the cherry:
Okay, let's do this. I wonder how many typos I make on a keyboard that has a feel that I prefer. I haven't tried to type without backspace in YEARS. There was some program I used as a kid to learn typing. Typing Tutor, maybe? It had games to speed up your typing and now I type fast enough that occasionally there are complaints for me to SLOW DOWN if I am trying to chat via text. So far no skipped letters on the Cherry as I run along. But I didn't get into the skipped letters until another half a paragraph on the HHKB so let's keep going here and maybe I will speed up. La la la what do I type about. Blue's cat is watching me. MRAO. The spacebar on this typical format feels much better to me. It is really weird how much of this is muscle memory, as it were. My new Alps keyboard has layers to get to the up/down/side arrows, which I use a ton, and sometimes when I go back to a regular keyboard I get confused now. Still no mushing together of letters on the Cherry. Maybe this has somewhat to do with typing style, although there's really no reason why Blue and I would have similar typing styles I think (and I think similar words per minute). Okay, switching back to see what happens.
Back to the topre: I do not like the plasticky sound as I set this keyboard back down. It is just not my thing. I get really disoriented by the delete/backspace location for my own typos, but my rate of skipped or doubled keypresses seems to be much less than foBlue. Though I just sed to ... oh, there it happened. I am laely not sure what's up withat. I am missing r, spaces, and then t and h. Weird. So I would get prty frustrated if I had to use this keyboard on the regular. Back to my nice clicky little traveling thinkpad keyboard. Blue girlfriend out.
Thanks to the girl for her kind input. Also, she might lend some support to my claims that I'm not crazy. The skipping seems to happen for her too, although not as often. Based on her description, she may not be bottoming out like I do until later. According to her, she tends to make stronger keystrokes (bottoming out) after she gets into the zone. Watching her type on her laptop confirms this suspicion.
I am inclined to believe what keshley stated:
If people are trying to type on a HHKB without bottoming out, I wonder if its the same principle as boxing? With cherry, you can type without bottoming out without fatiguing your fingers, but the resistance on a Topre board is completely different.
--------------------------------
Now that I have had some time with the board, my opinions are mostly the same. I think the thing is cute, and it has a place. I feel like these switches are rather inferior to some of the options out there. The physical sensation has not grown on me. The tactile response is muddled at best, and the click sound (are these silent or regular?) is not pronounced. The biggest issue I have with this board is the odd response of the switches to my typing. I am making an effort here to type with very gentle touches, and the incorrect responses I was experiencing earlier is much less pronounced. I would even guess that it has disappeared completely. Maybe I'm too hard on these switches. My fingers are ripped full of muscle, and they can't help but beat up switches like they had my lunch money. My WPM are noticeably lower typing this way though. Typing with these gentle strokes is like trying to swim without using your legs. All of my power is gone, and I can't build up any momentum.
There isn't any other way to look at it, I just don't like this board. Others will, and more power to them. But me? I'll keep clicking away with my old tactile switches.

2nd HHKB or 55g RF 87u? I like the HHKB form factor better but I've read that RF switches can feel slightly better.
55g RF

Great write-up BN. I wonder if your issue has more to do with using Topre for the first time. I remember when first I had my Realforce I kept pressing keys accidentally, mostly the L and S--pretty much those I rested on home row. They would register at the lightest touch, and at first I thought my board was defective. I had used buckling springs primarily before, so I was used to heavy switches.
However, the longer I've had my Topre the fewer mistakes I make. I still make accidental presses, but no skipping that I can think of.
I had no issues with the stutter on demik's board, and I wonder if that has to do with me being accustomed to Topre now.
To the others before me: Did you already use Topre before? If not, what were the heaviest switches you used regularly?

I hadn't used Topre before, and the heaviest switches I use regularly now are Greens and Clears. I also didn't have any of the problems that BN and his GF seem to be experiencing with keys registering or not registering, and personally I loved the feel and response of the spacebar.

Flipped trope bars feel like they are slicing my thumb open.Thank you. These darn kids and their darn spacebars. Back in MY day you didn't touch anything and enjoyed typing up hill both ways!

Damn Topre hipsters and their flipped space bars.

idk o.o
I took it as "someone who goes against the trend"
The irony is that hipster is the trend?

The definition of hip (other than the joint, ha ha) is to be fashionable or popular. If Hipsters think they're bucking the trend, then they don't even know the definition of the word that they use to define themselves.
Definitions are so mainstream.

As are regular spacebars. I say you glue it in the upside-down configuration.

The current/popular definition of hipster was not determined or assigned by those being defined as 'hipster'. And hipster doesn't mean those that attempt to be fashionable. But that's a different discussion for a different place. :P

Glad i got on when i did since it's heading to the next person before me, my father recently passed away so i've been to busy to get on untill now, working on clearing things out and moving since i was his primary caregiver. so i wanted to say skip sending it to me or maybe put me at the end of the list since it will be a week or three untill i'm finished moving. I wouldn't want to have to worry about keeping the board safe while moving or having it get lost in the mail. I wouldn't have a chance to try it before sending it to the next anyway.
sorry about your loss bro, just let me know when you'll be okay with receiving it and it'll be sent your way.

If people are finding it a bit light and maybe sliding around the desk, try a sheet (or two) or drawer liner underneath it. Stops it sliding around and actually improves the thock sound :)
Also space bars should not be flipped.

I bought two HHKBS. Does that count as a double conversion? :))
I don't know if I like the HHKB. Your blood money is what did the trick.

I'm to the point where I only try to hit backspace above enter when I'm on a 60% board. Which means on the rare occasions I use my Poker now, I'm all screwed up.

All the pertinent information is in the first post. The rest is just discussion. The tour is limited to 10 people at any one time and is currently in progress.

Finally on the SKCM Orange is similar to Topre front, I dont see it at all. The closet switch by far is SKCM Cream or White Dampened. Quite close but Topre brings the cushiness. I'd say its 85% Topre. So if you want Topre on the cheap buy a AEKII! /s
Overall great switch, I have a feeling I would love 55g even more.
Also, HHKB meet Alps Electric :D

Flipping hhkb space bar is the equivalent of making your own young child pigeon-toed through blunt-force trauma.
That put a mental image of ripping off the spacebar with the HHKB screaming in pain, which is kinda funny. Only to put it on backwards, to the HHKB's displeasure.
i love 55g more, i agree there. but i love the compactness of the hhkb and the layout.
well you have a whole week to love it even more!
pls dont tell me about flipped spacebars.. im going to have to console my baby when she gets back ;-;
I am with you on flipped spacebars expect the HHKB in particular with its low bottom row. I'd imagine I would hate a flipped bar on a Realforce.
Also demik, i'm curious, whats you opinion on Alps?
Post by: demik on Tue, 15 March 2016, 19:20:57
so, i dont really have an opinion lol.
i do like clicky switches (greens/blues) so, if there is an alps version of that i'd love to try it.
Post by: Mattr567 on Tue, 15 March 2016, 19:31:47
i've never tried alps aside from a really ****ty ducky keyboard with what im assuming was fake green alps switches. oh and a siig minitouch (the white xm version).
so, i dont really have an opinion lol.

Oh. SKCM Blue would be what you are looking for. Great switches imo.
Back to the HHKB I am quite accurate on this keyboard, more than any other I have run into before. The weight is perfect for what it is. I also love the little pffft sound when you press the keys ;D

Not so far, but ill keep my eye out. Did he have a Mac? Since it was in Mac mode when I got it and I had to switch it back to PC for Linux.

hm, i doubt the OS is the problem. i wonder who changed it to mac mode. i mean, maybe it was me and just forgot to flip the switches back.
Hey, uh ... is that list completed yet? The likelihood I'd actually convert is slim, but I *did* have a HHKB-lite2 for a decade as my work keyboard.
I like the layout. Would be curious about what started the hype.
yeah, pretty much. i might be able to squeeze u in at the end.

the beauty (imo at least) about the 55g RF is the metal plate. i haven't used a converted 55g hhkb yet but i feel like i won't get that from a plastic case mounted 55g switch. and i really don't want to experience it and hate it. so ignorance is bliss.
I'm used to Alps battleships so I can take anything lol. I have a feeling that a metal plate 55g switch would be perfect. The HHKB is slightly too mushy for my tastes. Bogs down my speed a bit.

So Day 1:
Its a lot lighter than i am used to, which is good for portability if i get one, the actuation force is also something i would have to get used to, but ill see in a few day's most do say that it grows on you and you dont immediately fall in love with topre switches. But it is deffinitly a lot easier on the fingers since im used to two mech boards with metal plates. The layout is also taking a bit to get used to but after an hour i have it most of the way down, and i do like it quite a bit. I do really like the sound of the keys returning.

Glad it got there alright. Did you look in the envelope? Taking off a Topre spacebar is quite easy, did it twice to try the bar both ways. Just be gentle and try to apply equal pressure on both sides. Take off the 1.5u caps btw.

Glad it got there alright. Did you look in the envelope? Taking off a Topre spacebar is quite easy, did it twice to try the bar both ways. Just be gentle and try to apply equal pressure on both sides. Take off the 1.5u caps btw.
^ it's pretty simple to remove it. just be careful the spring doesnt fly off lol

It's here safe and sound, really it made it pretty quick, just a couple business days.
So Day 1:
Its a lot lighter than i am used to, which is good for portability if i get one, the actuation force is also something i would have to get used to, but ill see in a few day's most do say that it grows on you and you dont immediately fall in love with topre switches. But it is deffinitly a lot easier on the fingers since im used to two mech boards with metal plates.

Now why would he remove the spacebar? Is there something wrong with it?

I had a regular HHKB before but didn't like it. After using my silenced Realforce there's no way I could go back to non-silenced Topre. I don't think I've tried a Type-S but if there's one HHKB I had to get it'd be that one.

Morealright you mx peasants (<3) i think it's time to convert more of you to the hhkb side. so, in doing my part to please the Topre Gods, I will put my beloved HHKB in a U.S. tour. First round will be 10 people. Now, this HHKB is near and dear to my heart so please treat it with the respect is deserves. and don't steal it. or the HHKB goons will find you, and beat the **** out of you.
About the keyboard:
It was crowdfunded through GH when all I had was a ****ty siig minitouch. Moose started it (RIP uncle moose, for real) and I'm not 100% sure who donated but they're awesome and I'll never forget it. So please, don't steal it. Like, for real, don't. I'm trusting you. DONT STEAL MY KEYBOARD.
It's completely stock, aside from the black printed keyset. No lubes, not dumb ass silencing. It's how the HHKB gods intended it to be. Pure unadulterated topre goodness. No, the reaper won't be included.. I'm not that nice OuO. It'll be cleaned, as it's a little dusty right now. It won't have the USB cable.. this is GH, you all should have enough mini USB connectors already. AND, because I live the HHKB life.. the first three people the convert to the HHKB life.. I will give you each 50 dorrah towards a new (or used) HHKB. You must buy it first, then I'll send you the money. All I ask is that, if for whatever reason you quit the church of topre.. you die in a fire.... OR, you discount 50 dorrah from your asking price.
So, what is the catch?
You MUST have a minimum of 200 posts and 2 months being a member. I mean 200 posts that count, not total. Lesbihonest, off topic is the best subforum but it doesn't bring anything to the table that'll make me think you're serious. The only way to get around the requirements is if a seasoned member vouches for you.. and even then, I'll have to think about it. I'll need all your address and contact info including phone number in case somebody wants to go awol on my ****. One person ships to the next and so on until we reach the last person.
First ten people get in the first round, if all goes well and I don't get jacked (seriously, don't steal my ****) I'll do another round.
TL:DR
You want to try hhkb? you got it. First three to convert get 50 dorrah towards an HHKB. Change your mind? Sell that HHKB 50 dorrah less. 200 posts/2 months requirement. Address + contact info needed (including number). DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****. DONT STEAL MY ****.
Proof of keyboard:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/5W5hjsE.jpg)
Oh yeah, in case you haven't figured it out. U.S. only. Sorry commies =/. Also, you get it a maximum 5 days. No more. I think that's enough time to figure out how much you love it or how wrong you are.

There is also going to be a meetup in my area sometime soon so if that were to happen I should be able to try an HHKB and would no longer have the need. I have been waiting on the Mira too long at this point and feel like maybe I should just go for the Topre life and forget about customs.

I've tried the space bar both flipped and not flipped. I really can't tell what the benefit of one is over the other, so I just leave it in the standard position so it doesn't look out of place. Is "the normal layout hurts my thumbs" really an argument for flipping the space bar?

Of course. If it feels better for the person, why wouldn't it be a legitimate argument?

When you flip it, your thumb can sit further back without hitting the edge of the spacebar, allowing for a more relaxed hand position (for me anyways).

I used mine at work and everyone noted how much quieter it was than my other keyboard, but my other keyboard has MX Greens, At home I used to have Browns but I thought the HHKB still was a little quieter than those.

If you have a coworker that would complain about an hhkb's noise then I feel sorry for you because they're probably a pain in the ass. So I think you're good.

Not here in the US, but I imagine in Nordic countries that it, along with talking loudly to people riding with you on the bus, is punishable by death.

Ctrl key placement is one of the best on the HHKB. But I spend a lot of times in vim / (space)emacs / terminal / tmux. So this position of ctrl key is easier to reach all the time.

Yeah, of all the keys to be bothered by, control is actually the one that I found to be in an even better spot on the HHKB.
If you need a lot of macros though for RTS or any other game, the HHKB may not be for you.

Iv'e actually often considered buying a separate numpad for just that reason...however i have yet to find any games i personally play that need one as of yet to justify the purchase.

Besides this, when I used to flip my spacebar I felt myself hitting it more easily if that makes sense? I haven't had it flipped in awhile though and I don't tell a difference between hand positions.

Regarding the space bar - that's something that always irritated me about the new PBT Topre spacebar: They could have fixed it or tweaked it to make it a little more ergonomic - but instead it's the same old madness...

I don't understand what PFU's deal is... like they once made a great keyboard and it stopped there.

This is exactly it. I type on 55g and actually find them a bit light at times, but only after hours and hours of typing do my hands start to ache, but I'm sure that goes for any typing for hours and hours.

45g RF is TOO light for me. If anything the constant bottoming out from it being so light hurts more than a heavier switch. Plus these nerds have weak fingers.

Yessir. Topre 55g brings smiles to faces. Word is Disney is trying to make it a character.
Hmmm, I figured I would enjoy 55g because I enjoy heavier switches, but it seems like even a lot of keyboard people opt for the 45g version because of finger fatigue. Maybe they're just a bunch of sissies.
45g RF is TOO light for me. If anything the constant bottoming out from it being so light hurts more than a heavier switch. Plus these nerds have weak fingers.
Yeah, that was one of my "complaints" about the HHKB, other than it being light. The light weight of the springs actually had me slamming my fingers all the time since I'm used to heavier switches, and I got tired from using those faster than 55g.

This is exactly it. I type on 55g and actually find them a bit light at times, but only after hours and hours of typing do my hands start to ache, but I'm sure that goes for any typing for hours and hours.
