I happen to think it looks pretty good. I question the decision, as I already think the HHKB is wasting real estate with its corners, but given the motive, I think the mod is fantastic. I also happen to like the metal piece as-is. maybe paint it blue, white, purple, whatever. It makes for a lovely accent piece on an otherwise (normally) pretty aesthetically bland board.
That's an insane mod, and I love it! I wish you had shown pictures of what you did to the board from start to end though.
I would actually consider trying that layout because it's so interesting, but alas I no longer own a HHKB.
I can appreciate the layout programming modifications you have made, but I'm confused by your removal of an entire row of keys. Clearly it is to get closer to that "grid" layout by removing the large spacebar, but since you can't then replace that row with 1x keys, all you've done is remove five perfectly functioning keys from an already small keyboard. Aside from taunting the Topre gods, why would you do that?
At any rate, thanks for sharing. :)
Why didn't you just flip your keyboard upside down?
With any other keyboard mod, the reply would have been something along the lines that it was a cool mod. Why is HHKB so sacrosanct? Especially with his justifications - he wanted to go with 4 rows, and use his thumbs for something other than the space bar.
Just curious?
That's interesting.
Did you cut off the volcanoes on the bottom row or just put something over them?
E.g. that silver thing being a solid chunk or just a lid so you could use the bottom row if you wanted to go back.
At first I thought this looked horrible, but I'm kinda warming up to it. I think it would look much nicer if you painted the metal black to match the board, and maybe even extend the chin out so it's kind of like a built in wrist rest like this, but paint it black so it matches
Still doesn't change that this is blasphemy
I Saint appleonama of PFU, excommunicate you from the Church of Topre
Please dipose of you HHKB and purchase the correct hardware.
