Can you elaborate a bit more on the decision to offer two types of switch? What were the intended applications of each? Why was one not chosen over the other?Dmiloh wrote: ↑ I can say that originally there was only two designs - linear and tactile. Whether a third emerged, I don't know.

Honestly I prefer the bezel on the 4C. TKL keyboards tend to take on a cheap, tacky look when they have a thin bezel. It gives the impression that the keyboard is just a half-assed variant of a traditional full-size keyboard. This is why the IBM SSK has such a beautiful appearance, IMO. The thick bo...

There is a reddit user by the name gammalbjorn who posted in the last 24 hours that he has "unrestricted access to an injection molder, a CNC mill, and other manufacturing equipment". He's asking for suggestions on what to produce. This is the perfect opportunity, IMO. A manufacturer tailoring to en...

The tissue paper feeling appears to go away after a while. I've almost had it for a full week now, but I can only feel a difference on some of the less frequently used keys. I love the look of those JUST Systems boards (especially the newly released full-size ones), but I really need ANSI to hack ha...

That's just what we do! @brdrgz: A couple of things put me off the Type-S. I've put damping rings on my NovaTouch, which isn't the same as a Topre anyway, but gives me a taste of what damping does in there. It improves that board, but I'm not so sure about its effect on an HHKB. I didn't find the o...

Yes! I just ordered mine from EK and it just arrived yesterday. I would suggest getting a Type-S. These things are fresh off the factory line and smell like it too (looks like mine has a manufactured date of 2014-07). Also, if you are a previous HHKB owner and just prestiged and have now arrived onc...

I might give O-rings another try, perhaps starting with the spacebar. It is interesting that in the world of Cherry mx keyboards, the sound and feel of the keyboard can be substantially altered by such things as the choice of keycaps, O-rings, and lubrication of switches and/or stabilizers. With re...

I use 50A o-rings. I absolutely love the sound and feel of a board equipped with o-rings. It feels like a rubber dome when you bottom out, but the compression and release of the spring retains that mechanical feel. To me, it incorporates the best of both worlds. When I use a board without o-rings, i...

Yeah, I would say Filco quality. The case construction is better than my HHKB was actually. Feels more tightly assembled, and does not have any "flex." Geez, you figured if you paid that much money for the famed HHKB it would be absolute quality but you have certainly stopped me from wasting my mon...

is it just me or WASD plastic looks cheap? every time I see wasd keycaps they seems like kid topys... They're not DSAs by any means, but I didn't buy the keyboard for its keycaps. I have two V2s and the keycaps function just fine and are quite durable. I might be biased though because I don't go fo...

I see that you are a web developer. Why do you prefer ST2 to something like JetBrains' PhpStorm? I personally like having a debugger available (cannot live without one, as I came from an environment using gdb), and the structure browser as well as refactor and goto tools are excellent. Nice display...
