A little something I made last year. The HHKB + Poker hybrid layout is arguably the best thing out there for 60% keyboards. Plenty of mods, great key set compatibility, and all the HHKB Fn layer goodness intact!

Muirium,
I have just become engrossed in the mechanical keyboard world and am about to spend way more money that I ever thought I would on a keyboard. That said I have to know what board this is (I'm guessing its a poker board) and where you got the keycaps?! This is exactly what I am looking for with blue Cherry MX switches.

Thanks for any info

That's a custom board I made (with lots of help from Matt3o) out of laser cut stainless steel. The caps are Round 4 SPH:

A poker is definitely a cheaper way to get to mostly the same place. But these days I'd advise just going straight up for an HHKB. Topre beats that board bad. No spending or MX mods can cure that.
