These new models are a great idea. I'd still go for an F62, if I were to invest in a repro, but having these models available to those who favour more modern layouts makes a lot of sense to me.

Your Kish? I think I was too dazzled by it's beauty and aura! Not to mention the beamer! Sadly, I cannot recall my impressions of the key feel. This may have been because I thought, with the few moments my fingers graced it's keys, that it felt similar enough to my XT to pay little attention to my e...

My first working M's switch weight was so heavy, I thought, I get why people rave about Fs. I couldn't daily drive it, not for lack of trying. I got a restored F and it was (/still is) great. Plus, as a HHKB user, I appreciate Ctrl being in the correct place. However, I prefer the look of the M, so ...

Where did you get that dust cover? That thing looks sweet!!!

Ali Express if memory serves. I think I just trawled through the 60 % dust covers.

I did once have enough boards to warrant overspill storage - no longer! Though, now I have more space, it could be filled with keyboards

I have a good few boards to shift and a few that I want. So, want, I like XT layouts. In terms of switches, I'll consider anything. Keyboard must be in working condition. I'm also after white HHKBs; preferably Pro 2s, but will consider Hybrids. I have a few boards to move on. The NMBs are from the S...

Having just moved into my new gaff but not quite being unpacked yet, they're split between two shelves. Bottom shelf, staying, top shelf, going. There is a yet unpacked box full of garbage that will probably stay unpacked for months. Then I usually have two per desk; whatever I fancy for work that w...

Thanks for the reply, Phinix. The sub legends are what I'm after though, as nice as the Ivory R2 sets are.

Looks tidy! However, I'd need CTRL anywhere else but there! I swear my HHKB and F XT have ruined my keyboard collection with their CTRL placement alone...

Alps Extended Keyboard Sound Test M0115 | Alps SKCM Orange VS Alps SKCM Salmon

Another excellent video. I wonder how much this content penetrates the custom community. Because it bloody should do in my humble opinion!

I rate Glorious/blag (Feker) Pandas. Bit of lube and I find it hard to distinguish between the two. I used to like MX Clears, but that was many keyboards ago! My fingers have much more experience now, so I don't think my appreciation of them would still be valid.

Here we go, this was the most promising one: Lot Lizard explored MX mount Model M sliders as part of his audacious Model MF project: Again, the first step in all of this is getting the drop-in replacement working for both the 84 and 101-key M's, but am using this thread as part of a bunch of stuff ...

Welcome to DT!

As has been said above, the board in the back corner likely contains some variety of Alps or Alps clones. Could be branded Opus. My money is on Pine Whites, but you could get lucky with some Blues in there. Let us know what they end up being. Hoping that it all arrives unscathed.

I rate these switches too. I've got Glorious Pandas, and these. When lubed, it's hard for me to tell the difference.

I'm looking to jazz up my ninja board. I've been looking at a few sets of caps for a while but I was hoping to find a set with the appropriate HHKB sub legends too; most of it is muscle memory, but since I swap out boards on my desk every other week, I sometimes get caught out. Anyone have anything ...

Closed.

I think Palatino may have one. He got one off me but can't remember the exact model number. Worth shooting him a message anyway.

Those caps tho!

Cracking stuff.

Well, you know what a genuine IBM 3278 solenoid is like now. Perhaps that would get you impaled in murderous rage!

Indeed, I do now know, thanks to a car park keyboard rendezvous, over the boarder! I'd wager a solenoid-less Beamer would be enough

For me and many people, the HHKB has the Fn layer all other keyboards must obey! I'm one of the many people. I do not like small form factor boards. I prefer full size for work use ...BUT, HHKB, is different. I've found the fn layer layout is particularly intuitive. I don't go into my work's office...

Looks cracking. Have you got a case for this beast?

I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

lmao

Good lord! I don't know which board I'm more fond of! That F without the foam is ridiculous. I took my F XT into the office last week; my colleagues lasted about four hours before someone piped up and said they couldn't handle it any more :lol: I usually treat them to my HHKB Type-S. What would they...

Ah, so this came all the way from Texas? Excellent. Looks like anachronism's AEK, too? Quite a selection!

Still up for grabs.

You've lost me with the Peerless, but yeh MaxiSwitch D/S are similar enough to Topre. I found MaxiSwitch first and liked 'em straight away.

I rate MaxiSwitch dome w/ sliders, like that found in a Gateway AnyKey. It is all down to taste afteall.

Once again, very impressive.

Even with this board's stunning good looks, rarity and excellent build quality, it upsets me say that it doesn't do it for me in terms of key feel and sound. It was at the top of my list for so long. I love the layout too! Alas, I'll only keep a keyboard I actually use, I'm not a collector in that r...
