Would love a blank keycap set in the future. If anyone else is interested, show your interest here.

Hi Joe, thanks for the invite for round 1 (and 2), and congrats with another milestone! What a great accomplishment. Very pleased to see the B62 in HHKB style added to the options for round 2, wow. I'll wait for that. Am I correct that there will be no compact style options for round 2? I'm not sure...

New store items G H B trackpoint keys, factory sublimated. The keycaps are sourced from Unicomp. The texture on these particular keys is a bit different from the other keycap textures. I had mailed the factory some stepped 1.75U caps lock keys and GHB trackpoint keys so they could sublimate them an...

Don't listen to these accountants, fecking numpad fetishists.

Wait, the originals were made from mithril? Should Ellipse get the help of Sauron?

HHKB-lovers can go cry into their (unused) bottom-left corner.

Agreed. F62 HHKB fixed that.

PS: You sound like one of those 104 atheists.

How much interest is there in smaller layouts over the standard 104/84 style? Are folks who want HHKB those who will only want the smaller layouts?

This layout with beam springs. Do want.

Quite the accomplishment for Matias to have entered the times of soaring mechanical keyboard popularity in the last 12 years, while continuing to make keyboards which appeal to not a single demography in that new crowd. Unicomp vibes.

For reference, at first I had some problems but those were fixed by pandrew's firmware updates. Now used it as a heavy duty daily driver close to two years. Not a single problem, feels as new (I have a spare new one to compare). Yes Ellipse is not equal to the whole of IBM of yesteryear. But I have ...

I have this spare one for the Pro II. It's probably compatible and just adds programmability but don't take my word for it.

Haven't seen any examples of a "replacement controller" for the Datahand on the internet.

Hell, that's the way it was for years if I understand things correctly.

Just can't wrap my head around the colors and the led lighting. Like, first someone designed it like a covid-stricken unicorn with diarrhea took a shit on it. That's bad, it can happen. But then other people involved in the keyboard took a look at that and were like yeah, wow, let's go ahead with th...

No chance of hhkb layout?

The Answer To The Question

They tried microswitches but these still took too much force to press for the finger wriggling method, so they hired a magnets guy and invented their own method. You see the magnets on the stems here (the downward keys use a slightly different method but same principle). https://webwit.nl/input/data...
