There goes my money...

Hello all! Very happy to announce that I am broke but I have a HHKB Pro 2 white/no-print coming my way! Can't wait until I get my hands on them.  :p

Does anyone know the difference between type-s and the standard?

The Type-S has some sort of foam mat separating the barrel from the body of the keyboard. It offers a silencing factor, though not worth $400, in my opinion. I'd much rather have the HHMX.

You can also mod a normal HHKB with rubber bands used for braces. Or with thin foam cut. There's a few threads on here and DT. To make your own 'type-s'

I think Longweight modified his HHKB like that.

Very nice guide, I'm going to attempt Mod 3 and the ones with Sugru and see how that turns out!

I sure did and it was well worth it! The full run through is on my site in my signature.


It makes the board so much nicer to use.

Very nice guide! I will be following it since the pictures are better there. Thanks! Do you have a link for the o-rings by any chance?

I feel you. I'm about to just say "f" it and checkout with this Realforce U87.
