Title: HHKB Layout with Cherry MX switches (Brown)
Post by: woodbird on Wed, 09 November 2016, 13:31:57

Does anyone any high quality 60% keyboard with cherry switches that has almost the same layout as HHKB, mainly the positions of ESC, Tab, Ctrl, and Delete. The positions of tilde and back quote keys are of less importance.

I also prefer blank key caps and PBT. The closest I can find is WSAD VP3. However, it seems to be almost the same as Poker3 and its construction is really not great.

I have been using HHKB Pro2 for years. I really love its layout and feel of the keycap. However, from time to time I still miss the feel of the cherry switches. Before HHKB I used Das Model S.

Not out of the box, no. Most custom boards support that layout, though.
