Looks nice watduzhkstand4, not sick at all.

I wonder if we will see blank red keys for the HHKB?

I've never saw a blank red key in my life =P If they do, then I will probably get some. But I think they should make different color keycaps for different rows because different rows have different size/shape keys.

Actually, I'm puzzled now. Why would you put cursor cluster keys on W, A, S, and D when the cursor keys on the HHKB are on {[, :;, "', and ?/ ? And, for that matter, in vi, H, J, K, and L are used for that function.

W,A,S and D is a common key mapping for first-person shooters (respectively up, left, down and right)

cosign that please =)
I was going to get a set for the arrow keys on the right side as well but I realized that the purple down arrow won't fit right because it's shape is different. too bad? =[

it's a bit of a shame. I toyed with the idea of swapping black blanks on my white board where the arrows are, but I think it's ultimately too busy (and for people that don't know what that means, it just looks busy. Like boards on KBDMania where they highlight certain keys that don't make sense to stateside folks

you're right, I think they just want to make it look more colorful in an ugly way? lol. But I do want some colored keys. Do you know where those people got them? They seem to have all the colors too! lol

I will post a pic soon on my black one.

Also, yours looks very sexy HK.  What kind of camera do you guys use for good photos?  I have a cheap one, but need a nicer one.  I only have the flip cam corder right now.

LOL I would love to get a good DSLR (Nikon D300s or D300) But I keep buying keyboards :( So for the time being cheap point and shoot will have to do. But I'm also thinking on getting a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35K to replace my junk camera so the wife has something decent to haul around while I save of for my DSLR.

Just a fixed 50 lens and a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. Surprisingly, the original is very similar. Glad you dig it :)

Just wanted to thank Elitekeyboards for the ultra quick and cheap service!

The red Esc for HHKB sold by Elitekeyboards fits perfectly the Realforce boards, at least the 87U. I can't seem to find any difference in shape between the "'standard" black Esc and this red one.
