Ohhh these are fun! I loved test driving the Cobra over in my wetshaving forum. May I join the fun?

Thank you so much for offering this opportunity to those who are too afraid to spend more than $150 on a keyboard, without knowing I'd love it.

I still use cartridges on my head when I'm lazy and tired. Dollar Shave Club Humble Twin <3

I'm working through over 40 soaps that I purchased when I was obsessed with wetshaving lol. Narrowed down a 30 razor collection to 1. So on and so forth.

Beards are best, except for the hairs that drop into the keyboard.

I've had my beard on and off for the last 4-5 years, but mainly because of laziness.

Shaved mine last night for an event today. It feels really weird. First thing my daughter asked: "Where's your beard?"

It all starts there bb. Next thing you know you're rolling deep with multiple Topre boards.

FLF is the first.

Rome should be next OuO

I'm staying a heretic for the time being, I have too much MX **** coming in to justify converting at the moment but I would really like to pick up a RF87U 55g sometime soon.

don't need anymore topre board bb. HHKB is the only board that you need

[mobbo]

I was the first to convert and I didn't even need demik's dirty HHKB to do it

[FLFisherman]

Lies! You've been pro-HHKB from the start.

[romevi]

Same. Had a Realforce before. Only now I'm a HHKB convert.

[demik]

Music to my ears

[romevi]

Crosspost:

Been having way too much fun with demik's HHKB. I mean by typing on it. Sad to have to let it go after this week as I won't be able to get one for a few more months, but saving for the Type-S will be werfit.

Initial thoughts:
Felt kind of cheap compared to other boards. The plastic case was an offputter, and its lightness detracted from its appeal.
Typing on it is spectacular, and, although it's 10g lighter than my Realforce, it still somehow feels very sturdy and very solid.

That said, the clunk of the caps against the plastic plate wears my fingers out, which is weird because I don't get that issue with my 55g Realforce. I'm really, really missing a num pad, even if it's one embedded in the board itself like the Realforce or a kustom. The arrows and Backspace get a little taking used to (I usually hit the Backspace with my ring finger, so hitting it with my pinkie is weird).

What I love most about it, though, is the sound. Wondering now if I should go for the Type-S or regular white.

[demik]

yeah, it being lightweight is it's only drawback IMO.

There aren't any aftermarket cases for it besides that red box-shaped one?

We should make one.

Demik didn't even have to send me his keyboard for me to convert, I saw the picture and ordered a Type-S a few days later.  Thanks, pal.

i actually use my ring-finger for the backspace. try it out? :-)
as for the weighting, i had the same issue going to 45g, from 55g, but as i typed on it more i adjusted rather quickly. but that's just my experience!
and if you end up getting one, you could consider hasu's controller to make it fully programmable. then you could put the numpad and fn key anywhere you'd like

also, let us know which one you got

[demik]

Muh bby should be going onto the next person this weekend OuO

He's going to do terrible things to it too. You won't want it back when he is finished with it.

[demik]

OnO as long as it's consensual. My hhkb aims to please.

Yeah, I know it.

How long does USPS take to update their tracking? Dropped it off at the post office around 3 on Friday and it's still not updated.
Sorry, BlueNalgene, but I dunno if you'll get it by Monday or Tuesday.

Should've dropped it off Thursday instead. My apologies.

[rowdy]

yeah, it being lightweight is it's only drawback IMO.

Or a strength, depending on how you look at it, as it's much easier to carry around.

If you mean that it shifts around on the desk while you're typing, I put a sheet of drawer liner under mine.  Stops it sliding and makes it sound really nice.

It usually gets scanned the second you drop it off. If you take it to a clerk they scan it in and give you the receipt.

My post office has a drop-off area, and that's where I put it. The first and last time I asked a clerk, they told me to take it there.
It's the largest post office in Chicago, so I don't know if they just take a bit longer. Usually I'm not concerned when mailing other packages as they go through fine, but, with this being demik's HHKB, I'm a little antsy.

[demik]

I think you'll be fine. I have another package coming to me since Thursday and it's stuck and the same update yours is.

Lets all take a moment to say a prayer to the Topre gods.
