Realforce with silence mods vs. HHKB Pro2 Type-S
« on: Wed, 21 May 2014, 09:03:36 »
I'm rather enamored with the sound and feel of the HHKB Pro2 Type-S, but really want a TKL layout. Realforce doesn't sell a uniform weight silent keyboard as of now, but I've read of the dental mod and using landing pad type rings for silencing. For those of you who have silenced your Realforce boards, can you comment on how similar / dissimilar the sounds and feel is to the HHKB Pro2 Type-S?

Thanks,

--it all started with a simple remapping of control and caps lock....

I just did the o2dazone mod on my realforce. Honestly, it's just as quiet, if not quieter than the type-s. I can upload a video if you'd like, but it'll have to wait until I get home from work.

I'd like to hear it. I might consider trying to do this mod myself.

Not a problem. Like I said, I'll do it when I get off of work.

That's the one with the rubber sheet and hole punch, right?
