Best way to use an HHKB?
« on: Sat, 08 June 2019, 16:46:14 »
 Hey all, I'm a big fan of the HHKB. I've at one point owned four! I've tried almost everything including hi pro and different domes (except Sony BKE). What's our favorite way to use your's?

I'm currently using Hi pro, purple RF sliders and stock domes.

My best way to use my HHKB is to sell it and use the money to buy a 55g Realforce.

I do love my 55g RF! I tell people very often that if I left this hobby, it's the board I would leave with. And I have a few nice boards. It's a proper endgame candidate.

I've already sold all of my HHKBs but I was a big fan of how my lubed, well broken-in pro 2 sounded. Super creamy.

Just use it stock. It's fine as is IMO.

I recently got my hands on a Pro 1 but have not really modded it yet so I will not count those domes in this decision...


-HHKB BT
-Lubed RF Purple Silent Sliders
-55g RF Domes
-EnjoyPBT JP Topre 9009 (The texture on these caps is so good)
-Silenced Spacebar (I lube the stabs, put o rings on the underside of the cap and place larger bumpons underneath)

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I use mine as a keyboard to input data into my porn terminal.

I just type on it. Occasionally it's my cat's bed.


I've tried a few configs: Stock, Hypersphere'd+lube, Purple sliders + lube, SilentX rings, SilentX rings + BKE Light.
But my favourite so far is somehow: Hypersphere'd+lube+BKE Light. It's an odd combo that probably not many people will do these days because Hyperspheres themselves aren't that great anymore and they're expensive.

I'll be throwing on BKE Lights into my Purple slider HHKB soon.
