HHKB pro Bluetooth - Black or White?
« on: Thu, 13 June 2019, 12:13:23 »
I prefer the look of White over Black since it look brighter and more attractive,

but the problem is that many of HHKB White case I saw on photo get stains and the bright-white colour become Yellow after 1-2 years using. Anyone here facing the same problem? do you recommend to buy the White Case or Black Case?

or just buy the black and then change the White keycap to avoid stain in the future? I wanna keep it for long time using..

thanks alot.

That is what I did.  I bought black keyboards..changed them to bluetooth and put white caps on them...I have 2 of them!!  I might even consider selling one!

I'm not sure what causes the stains, it could be smoking or just keeping dirty stuff around the keyboard. I've had a white Realforce for a long time now and it hasn't changed in color at all, still ivory.

I travel with my hhkb bt a lot so I opted for the black. I have beige EnjoyPBT JP caps on it and I love the way it looks.

I've always preferred black hhkbs with white printed caps.

Buy the black one, then buy the white keycap set from eBay (60 bucks or so IIRC).

White on black looks cool...

Doesn't really matter tbh, but black is a "humble flex" to confuse co workers that you have a regular keyboard
