I was just asking because I recently have read your HHKB pro 2 review and really enjoyed it. The facts and the storytelling. And I was maybe also asking because I'm getting an HHKB pro 2 soon
</offtopic>

So you don't like your HHKB anymore?

to the land of buggy keyboards

you run Mavericks on your flower G4 iMac ?!

Nice to have you back with us.

Thanks Muirium,

that´s the nice thing about DT addicts: they know

I was browsing the forum today and look what I've found :

Looks familiar ?


EDIT : not really news though

Also, even if I noticed the different names, I just assumed that all these keyboards come from the same factory granted commercial names do ...

Nice investigation, and very nice work on the wiki entry.

I'm glad people will be able to find some more knowledge about this manufacturer on DT wiki. I remember having hesitated before ordering my first KBC because of the lack of information about the maker.

The PCBs of my current Pure Pro and ...

Mine is fancier than yours (nice shiny metallic label), yet the firmware seems to be older.

I don't really know about that. The picture I posted was one of the label apposed on the cardboard box of the board. The one one the bottom of the case is also metallic.

I don't think ANSI/ISO is ...

I actually wrote Fn+RShift in my post at the end of the programming sequence.

Yes you have, I read it too fast. Sorry about that.

I obviously don't have the keyboard at hand anymore so I can't play this asynchronous fiddling game with you but, I found this review . I remember having read it ...

Well, I use English as a second (or even third actually) langage. I don't mean to be rude.

if you actually read what I wrote, I have explained clearly how mine handles Pn mode

Oh, I sure have. But as you stated in your original post :

The instruction leaflet may as well be written in Chinese for the amount of sense it makes.

I thought that you might not have deduced the existence ...

That's actually not true Daniel, at least not for the Poker II I had.

Maybe things have changed a bit between the ANSI I had and your ISO model, but as you'll see in the attached manual you can access your programmed layer by hitting Right shift and Fn.

Nice reply Muirium,

This HHKB design looks indeed well thought of. As a matter of fact, before I bought my first mechanical keyboard, I first considered buying the HHKB just because I found it to be cute (talk about a critical buying process) but as I had trouble swallowing the price tag for a ...

There's also the KBT Pure Pro that has the nice advantage of keeping arrow keys even though it's a 60% board.

Stop it, you'll make me regret having sold my programmable Polker II

I guess I'm too new to mechanical keyboards, I haven't even thought about programming the arrow keys to the right.

it's the arrows I can't press with one hand, and I forget what I had been trying to do

That's exactly why I let mine go (and for the too noisy blue switches it had but if it wasn't for the arrow keys, I could have tried to stand them a bit longer). The Poker II made me realize how much I use the ...

Hi all,

I just wanted to thank the community for building this great resource. Deskthority helped me to dig deeper into this rabbit hole and start a (small) collection of mechanical keyboards. Even if I don't post often, I enjoy the conversation and learn everyday a bit more about the typing heaven ...

Thanks Halvar,

that's a reasonable assumption as I thought to try to switch the extender off and back on again but haven't tried to reboot the computer. I'll have to check this method when I get back to work on Monday.

The keyboard is a KBT pure pro. If I am not mistaken, the spec sheet mentions ...

Hi,

I'm almost there in my plan to use only mechanical keyboards everywhere I type. The last dark spot is some part of my workplace where I still didn't get around a problem.

For some intensive typing task involved in my job, I have to relocate daily in a room where the the PC is kept in a bay ...

Thanks for your answers.

I'll get one shortly. Before I do, is anyone in the know about an ISO Minila with blank keycaps possibly on the way?

Merci du conseil.

J'attends de savoir si le bluetooth du minila fontionne correctement sur Mac et je vais le commander. Je vais devoir commencer à chercher une pochette de transport...

Thanks for this review matt3o. I'm looking at this keyboard with insistance, as I already have a KBT Pure Pro and am OK with it's layout and the Minila basically made the same compromises. I would need another board for the road, so...

I have a very good bluetooth dongle on my PC (later I'll try ...

Je suis assez content de ne pas avoir laissé une chance à ce premier clavier. Comme mon environnement de travail est assez silencieux, je n'entendais plus que ça ! Je ne joue pas, ni ne porte de casque en travaillant, mais tape, tape, tape ;)

Au passage, je me rends compte que je préfère nettement ...

pour info, j'ai fini par commander un second KBT Pure Pro en brown qui est arrivé aujourd'hui. Ce dernier fonctionne parfaitement et ne connaît pas les problèmes de résonnance du premier que je viens de retourner à Amazon.

J'étais donc bien tombé sur un modèle défectueux.

Hmm, je suis sûr que ce ne sont pas les switches qui sont la source du problème mais la plaque.

Je devrais faire confiance aux gens expérimentés avant de tirer des conclusions de novice... C'est pas la plaque (en tous cas, pas seulement). Par acquis de conscience, j'ai retiré les keycaps pour ...

merci pour vos réponses.

Tu peux essayer de mettre des O-rings ou du lubrifiant pour atténuer le son. Hmm, je suis sûr que ce ne sont pas les switches qui sont la source du problème mais la plaque. La résonance se fait entendre aussi au moment où je pose le clavier sur le bureau, sans enfoncer ...

Bonjour,

je viens de recevoir un KBT Pure Pro, avec une disposition de touche ISO en AZERTY (MX brown). J'ai fini par le commander alors que je possède déjà un autre clavier du même fabricant, le Poker II, mais en ANSI (et MX blue). J'avais été impressionné par la qualité de fabrication du poker ...

I mean the Poker review. Even if I'll be getting mine shortly, It will be nice to read your thoughts while waiting for the package to come.

Hi all and thanks for the write up.

I'll post my impressions on the poker 2 when I get mine.

I just missed the group order on GeekHack but QTAN had some more Poker 2s to sell both on eBay and on his store so I have ordered one from the former with blue switches. I intend to use this keyboard ...
