HHKB on laptop (mac) - USB cable
« on: Fri, 11 September 2015, 09:09:26 »
Hello

For anyone using a HHKB on top of their laptop keyboard (the hhkb front pads slot in perfectly behind the fn and right arrow keys on a macbook) you might like this $5 USB cable:

Tie a knot in one end and it's ideal.

I use a similar cable for my KBP V60. It's great.
TMK Alps64 w/ Matias Quiet Switches in KBP V60 case.
Infinity60 with SKCM Orange Switches w/ TMK.
CM Storm QRF w/ Frosty Flake controller, Cherry MX Blue Switches and TMK firmware.

My side outlet for the exact purpose. But I recently use bluetooth, though.
