Hi there! I have been perusing this forum for a while now, just checking things out and reading up on things like RIT dyeing PBT keycaps and modding HHKB Pro 2 for bluetooth, but I feel like I'm ready to now delve deeper into your world.
I just got into mech keyboards about a month ago, but have already spent tons of money on different boards and keys.
My setup currently is a HHKB Pro 2 with blank dark gray keycaps.
I plan on RIT dyeing some HHKB white blanks.
I have the recent from MassDrop Varmilo VA108 and WhiteFox keyboards coming eventually, and a handful of artisan keycaps.
All in all, I'm excited to be joining the community and look forward to everything the site has to offer.

Welcome to geekhack! I have heard that rit dye's formula has changed recently and it doesnt work on plastics. I have not personally used it, but I have heard good things about a dye called iDye poly. It is available on amazon. Ill be dyeing some of my model F keycaps soon with it. Enjoy your time here. You already have what many here call their endgame, a hhkb is a hell of a place to start.

Welcome to Geekhack!
Have you BT-modified your HHKB already?
If not, did you know that there is a BT-enabled one (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=81269.0) you can buy directly now?
And if you feel that you're spending too much on keyboard stuff, have a quick read through this thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=67980.0) that might help put things in perspective :)
