HHKB Pro "A" key vibrates after each keystroke -- normal?
« on: Wed, 10 June 2009, 21:00:49 »
The "A" on my HHKB Pro v2 is vibrating under my pinky after each keystroke.  None of the other keys seem to do this, at least to the noticeable degree that the "A" key does.  Is this normal?  Can I make it stop?


The keyboard is great otherwise. The key-feel is like nothing else.

Some of my keys vibrate occasionally, but it's not something that happens consistently, nor can I reproduce it.

Maybe it's some undocumented haptic feedback feature? :p

Seriously though, there seems to be some weird issues with some of the HHKB's keys (eg. the sticky thing some have mentioned)... Kinda puts me off spending €180 on one...

did you try opening it up? Maybe  the spring is wonky.
