I was browsing craigslist earlier and saw HHKPro for $40.00. Is it worth getting it considering I ll be driving an hour to pick it up? Also is this consider membrane/rubber dome or mechanical?

And also what do I need to check if I decide to pick this up? Thanks.

hhkb pro and pro 2 are mech. For such price is a hhkb lite. If that board is a pro/pro 2 either the guy does not know what he/she is selling or it is in bad shape.
The average for such board is 200 usd

Seller mentioned it as Happy Hacking Keyboard PRO not lite pro. I emailed the seller to send me the picture of the keyboard. Thanks for you reply. Also what is the status on the brick face group buy?

If this turns out to be an actual HHKB Pro and not the lite, you're a lucky guy. -_______-

Im curious to see what this looks like as well.

Now people will expect $40 HHKB Pros in the classifieds...

^ They are going to be waiting for long long time

Gus.s · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 23 January 2012, 20:16:33 »

Just got back from 1 hours drive to pick this up. I have no experience with HHKB, I can be sure this is no HHKB lite.

Here is some pics of it.

demik · « **Reply #9 on:** Mon, 23 January 2012, 20:17:20 »

you, my friend, got one hell of a deal.

the HHKB lite has dedicated arrow keys, and i dont think it has a removable usb cable.

HHKB Pro doesn't have the logo and HHKB Pro2 does.. so by the looks of it, you have a HHKB Pro, topre version.

Can you guys see the pic or not?

Gus.s · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 23 January 2012, 20:24:40 »

I post it with imageshack, dunno why it doesn't work. Here re the goodies.

demik · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 23 January 2012, 20:26:30 »

40 dollars + hour drive = steal.

wonder why the guy decided to sell it so cheap.

Barn · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 23 January 2012, 20:26:40 »

Looks great - nice one!

Gus.s · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 23 January 2012, 20:27:47 »

Dunno why he is getting rid of it. Tested every keys and working properly.

Quarzac · « **Reply #20 on:** Mon, 23 January 2012, 20:51:34 »

I'll trade you $50 and a bag of cheetos for it.

hashbaz · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 23 January 2012, 22:20:27 »

Well you are starting off your geekhack career right. Excellent find.

NumberJ · « **Reply #22 on:** Tue, 24 January 2012, 09:18:48 »

I'll offer $60 and 2 bags of cheetos.

Thats a pretty old keyboard

Gus.s · « **Reply #24 on:** Tue, 24 January 2012, 13:54:38 »

Date of production in the back of the keyboard said 2005. Beside the 2 USB ports and HHKB logo at the right bottom corner; is there any differences between pro and pro2?

If there was what does it matter for $40

cactux · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 24 January 2012, 14:16:41 »

For such price who cares

Damn that was exactly what I was about to say.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #29 on:** Tue, 24 January 2012, 15:52:03 »

So lucky. Only time I ever saw one so cheap was an original KB02, with Sun connector...

hasu · « **Reply #30 on:** Wed, 25 January 2012, 00:25:08 »

Congrat. $40? It is steal.

Pro is never less than pro2. I prefer the shape of pro rather than pro2.
Due to two ugly USB ports, pro2 is not minimalistic!
Some people prefer black(sumi) model 'cause it doesn't get yellow, though I like white ones.

Anyway you are very lucky.
