best I can do is 3.50

Jesus christ, this kinda feels like a class reunion. Still liking those vintage MX-Blacks? How are you doin?

End of an era indeed... Thanks a lot for all the effort you've put in Webwit!

That's a lot of effort to get rid of the battery peins, but maybe worth the connectivity you get (compared to a Pro2 BT mod).
A really good solution would be an aftermarked bottom case.

I'd say the battery compartment is the biggest issue yes, the new case design is also something people have mixed feelings about, I personally don't think it's a good looking case. However the real innovation is the programmability and connectivity, I also like the dip switches on the bottom side an...

Innovation in Japan is slightly different and I understand this, however I wouldn't necessarily say that PFU is "Doing an Intel".
The new product iteration has some sort of innovation, but it's not the one I personally was hoping for and I believe some people feel the same way.

It's for an HHKB where beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder, and nowhere else .

True, but let's be honest. PFU dropped the ball this time.

I've never in my life seen an HHKB that yellowed, and I own a very yellowed one!

Check this out: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124021219427

It must have sat on a sunny windowpane the entire time.

I'd say the bag itself is the best part of the entire set, however you can't buy just the bag. I like this one as well: https://kbdfans.com/collections/keyboar ... rying-case

HHKBs should be about simplicity, nothing else.

100 bucks for a travel bundle?
35 for a keyboard lid?
50 for a wrist rest?

Worst part, everything is completely overbranded and not even pretty...

Spoiler:

A true masterpiece

First blow passed by. I revisit the sources again and again and keep thinking... There is no way on earth that we are PFUs target audience. That would explain why the refreshed version turned out the way it did. My religious PFU fanboyism has been hit hard, maybe it's time to finally get a Tatoo rem...

Good news: PFU didn't put LED Backlit with shitty ass ABS caps on that thing. Bad news: everything else... Man, I am not a fan of that new product iteration and case design, I was so gonna buy that damn thing, no matter what but now that I actually see it... nah. I could live with the case but I lik...

Congrats to the winners!

It has an MX mount, so it's not that useless. ... The value is mostly that you can't sell it and it's not easily reproduceable (although, y'know, Chinese guys). Sure, agreed, but why a wing nut? Apparently because nuts and bolts are symbolic of 'mechanics'. I reckon that's why it was chosen to repr...

Then buy a realforce.

Already have 12 of them.

From the oldest to the newest releases.

But having an HHKB done with 104 standard ANSI key layout, now that would be worth acquiring for my collection.

Maybe an HHKB sticker for your RF is what you need?

Is there any, literally any, scrap of concrete evidence that a 2019 HHKB refresh is on the way?

I believe they would have announced something by now.

Let's face it, you can't go wrong with an HHKB, be it pro1 2 or BT, they are all solid choices.

Ohh boy ohh boy! I am not sure how to feel about the refresh model, I am afraid there is too much potential for screwups. Let's take a look at the HHKB BT model, and its battery pack and "Modernised" case design. Not impressed, not at all... I hoped that it will grow on me at one point. 3 Years late...

that's a nice looking board you've got there.

I'd let her try high grade, freshly ground pour over coffee, medium roast. Once a person gets hooked by the complex flavours, adding sugar or creme would be just blasphemy.

Something you missed was the Boxpocalypse: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19509 I wouldn’t risk using any of those murderous wee buggers, no matter how much Elrick swears by them! Ohh god, I've prepared a set of dev/tty caps to moung on my latest cherry board, I am blown away by the qu...

The split right shift is the true powerhouse of the hhkb layout, I couldn't agree more. Even if they would leave the rest normal, with that fn key and programability the keyboard would really be something! I could stick to my HHKB style without the iconic cut outs on the bottom row but I wouldn't mi...

Man sounds absolutely amazing, my hhkb pro1 has been through a lot (literally). So now I wan't to turn it into it's final form. Therefore I was looking for something special and the BT mod came to my mind! I've checked few sources on the internet but sadly it seems that the pcb is out of stock every...

Ohh dude, I've seen the Gammaray singer almost kill himself after climbing a 20 meter hight stage sealing on a festival... crazy old man!

I really started to like Synthwave on a completely riced out linux for maximum nostalgic "Hackerman Vibes"

a RF with battery penis Nah. I find keyboards with internal genitalia much more refined . I have to agree! Do you use the Hasu BT controller? And how much battery life do you get out of it? I remember that it barely holds a day, is that still tru? I was thinking about making my Pro1 into a BT versi...

I've missed quite a bit lately, I don't know if I should be worried or happy about it? The last thing I found quite interesting was the kailh box switches with this quite new mechanism to make them tactile. That was something new, something refreshing but I didn't had anything to test them on. I hav...

I've just checked the header.php the quality of my images seems to suffer a bit, did you had to upscale them? I've purposely downsized them on 1200x400 but I can add higher quality pictures. So that it doesn't look too pixelized.

@ Hypersphere I totally get what you mean! Once in a while I get my hands on cherry mx boards with a metal backplate and almost all of them ping and resonate because of the metal backplate. That's rather off-putting, especially once you got used to something soft like the HHKB, but on the other hand...

Ohh man, this sucks
How much money did you lose? Any way to use some legal rights so that you get your money back?

Since I am onto something, here is mine
