have you considered just swapping out the controller with something 'updated' like https://cannonkeys.com/products/cipulot-ec-pcbs-and-daughterboards We used to use Hasu boards, and then i know Keeb.io made one briefly... i'm not sure of any others but maybe someone can chime in.

I ended up going with the PCB replacements mentioned above, and overall seems okay. The installation process was a bit confusing just due to lack of clear documentation on how the board arrives blank, how to find the right firmware to flash but overall I think after struggling for a bit, I was able to get it working

I did have to cut off some the sides of my micro-usb entry on my HHKB case as the PCB comes with USB-C. I have my layout follow the standard HHKB format, although it does feel a bit different than standard OEM PCB (obviously) or closer to when I was using the 3rd party Bluetooth PCB for my HHKB Pro 2. There is a certain sense of safety when using the original HHKB firmware but overall I don't notice it much after a bit of use.

One minor annoyance is that I ended up going with their EC Pro-2 Bundle and the LEDs on the bottom of the PCB are kinda annoying as they bleed through my case. :/

ok so i wanted to say. I AM BUYING THIS THE DAY GB GOES LIVE!!! AT LEAST DIFFERENT KITS 

I would love to buy 2 or 3 as well.

"Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, drew a line in the sand and played his ace. He issued a statement saying (Google translation), “Until America corrects its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not open.” He goes on to enumerate the ways in which America must correct its behavior.

There are six conditions:
stop threatening us,
end the war,
lift the blockade,
pay for the damage you caused,
lift the sanctions,
and give us our money back.

Zolghadr finished by writing that Iran “will never back down, whether in war or in negotiations.”

The administration has not reacted (as of this writing). However, if previous form holds, Trump will make some hollow threat about the US visiting a civilization-ending Armageddon on the Islamic Republic before doing nothing significant. Regardless, the Mullahs won’t care. Domestically, they no longer worry about a popular uprising. Any thought among Iran’s citizenry that America was a potential knight in shining armor has been dashed by the US’s explosive but ineffective performance so far in the war."
