Damn you, Matteo. I am actually sad when I use my other keyboards with previously perfectly fine keycaps. The cupping builds my key striking confidence so much, it’s almost a little intimidating to type on a profile with minimal surface structure such as XDA…again, a profile I really liked before. I...

It's a bit of an "after market" effort (and addition expense) but an HHKB with BKE redux domes is the most tactile board I've experienced. It makes the thock a bit louder, but by adding silencing rings, it's below the stock level noise (a great and a compelling noise). I've got the BKE redux light r...

Interesting. How have you noticed when lube is working against you...stabs just start sticking? Have these issues been with one switch or case type more than another?

Only lube the stabs where the casing offers some protection from the dust particles but White Fox is totally exposed which is a good thing for those wanting that type of design. Good reminder on dust. I have terrible allergies so I have an IQ Air box filter on all of my furnaces, but dust always fi...

White Fox Review
tl;dr… is it worth it? The White Fox is a fantastic design and very good quality. I don’t think enough praise could be heaped upon Matt3o. If you like projects, you’ll love the board. If you don’t have a lot of patience and technical aptitude, the fiddliness could easily make you frustrated (same co...

Your transformation of the Omnikey looks fantastic. Love the color combination with the Dolch caps. Just a note from my experience with using the Dupli Color dye. The dye/paint goes on better than most spray paints and it seems to offer a more even coat. But in my experience (mostly with AEKs), the ...

Ideas for Bending Spacebar Stabilizer Wire
Wondering if I could get some tips for bending a spacebar stabilizer for an Alps64 with the Hacker layout. Specifically, with the stabilizers I have created with just pliars, they are too loose or so tight they require 10x normal force to actuate the switch. Currently I have a stabilizer wire that f...

Currently building a custom 60% (Happy Alps) board with Yoe. It’s from an M0116 donor with a few keys (return cap most notably) from an AEK II. To get a delete cap directly above return (in the correct row profile) we have to either use a redundant tab cap or the back slash \ pipe cap. The biggest d...

It’s tough to beat the improvement of swapping backspace with tilde. It’s bizarre how just moving down one row makes such a profound difference. I was reviewing older posts today and saw someone mention the Matias Ergo Pro has a dip switch allowing one side of the split spacebar to function as backs...

What's element of HHKB layout is most important to you?
If you could only keep one aspect of the HHKB layout, what would it be? It seems the biggies are: - Backspace above Enter - Control left of A - Fn right of a split right Shift - Diamond arrow cluster Obviously the sum of the parts make it really great, so why entertain ranking them? I’m just curious...

As Hypersphere mentioned, Karabiner is very helpful for remapping / binding keys and you could probably remap some of your Windows-centric shortcuts to an equivalent on the Mac. Though, I would suggest it’s worth investing the time to learn the Mac shortcuts if you’re bound to that environment. Ther...
