Post your keyboard/keycaps!

[paperWasp]

The box says "Designed in Germany" and "Made in China". Hard to say who's to blame.

So when are we changing the name of this thread to 'HHKB circle jerk'?

HHKBs are great, I hope finding an affordable JIS one day, but is there no love for some bigger layouts, f.e. 90/96%?

The board posted right before yours has at least a dozen more keys than it should. You’re not completely alone here. Though you are clearly on the wrong side, still.

Should give me enough for two HHKB dome swaps when I put my spare domes to use as well!

[Muirium]

Noice! And then you can sell the 45g Realforce remainder to the Topre curious in our midst for a gentlemanly price.

Spoiler:

Even one’s memes should have vintage.

Much prefer the 45g HHKB to my 55g 87u, but I would, wouldn’t I?

[wobbled]

I'll probably either sell it on through DT, or use it as a work keyboard - something I keep saying to myself as an excuse to buy a keyboard but it never seems to happen...

Mu that HHKB of yours has got to be closer to 60g now after the amount you type on it lad.

[Muirium]

Aye, the new HHKB is definitely a fair bit lighter than my 2014 original. I notice instantly when switching between the two, but I kinda like them both, actually. All that use has not improved it or made it worse, just distinct.

Amusingly, the heaviest key on my workhorse is Z, and the lightest one is A. Doesn’t seem to be a direct 1:1 wear thing. I mean, I use Undo a lot but not that much.

Yeh uneven wear is something I've noticed as well. On my Pro 1 the right shift, tilde, and backslash are significantly lighter than the rest of the keys. Which is odd when you consider the amount of times someone working in IT such as myself uses the backslash key when typing UNC paths.
I wish there was an explanation for things like this. Perhaps not all domes were made equal.

Ah, so that’s the purpose of these full size boards! Larger fields of domes to harvest. Can’t see real Toprists actually desiring anything over TKL.

I'm sure some people working with excel would be screaming at you for that comment, but yes, full size topre boards are wonderful for dome harvesting. And a great way of getting rid of my ever growing collection of 45g domes!

I found the website name and header image for the version of Deskthority which lurks in the antiverse.

a new friend came in recently!
guess who?

Spoiler:

it's the metal badge 101!






this board will need a good clean and likely a (partial) screw mod or bolt modding!

[Muirium]

The discord pics don't work. (I hit the Quote button to see what urls you'd used. They're just dud [image] boxes here.) Maybe try uploading them a place that supports cross posting.

oh damn! they always seemed to work before??
i'll update it asap. currently writing this from bed as i've awoken in the middle of the nights.

[kbdfr]

The discord pics work for me.

[Muirium]

Still don't for me, having checked again, logged in and out of DT. But amusingly they do show fine on my phone.

[ifohancroft]

They work for me as well.

[schwi]

i've replaced the images with imgur links anyways, for mui's sake or something.

thanks for letting me know though, yall.

I just need a cheap white pro 2 now, but I have no money left...

Isn't symmetry enough for you? Completist!

Right now, I'm all good for HHKBs. The Pro 2, with Hasu's Bluetooth on board, is the sweet spot for me.

What happens when you press contradictory direction keys on both of those navigation pads? Does the keyboard stop work to hold a plenary session to determine which work group to assign to the project?

[Muirium]

You painted that spacebar, didn’t you?

[CaesarAZealad]

Nope. It's just very shiny ABS

[doomsday_device]

Nope. It's just very shiny ABS

he knows, he tries to be funny. its annoying. just ignore

i think this color is somewhat cool

[Muirium]

You got me.

It does match the case nicely. Patchy yellowing is more annoying than the even stuff.

It's always neat how you can see exactly where the window was located in relation to the computer.
