I decided to build an office version of my HHKB, just because I didn't like lugging it around every time I went to the office.
The build is as follows:
So far I really like it, feels quite good, and a bit different than the HHKB, not worse but different.
The firmware is ZMK, so BT support is a plus.
Sorted out the firmware porting, and finished soldering assembling.
feels great under hand, and the terminal vibes are just great.
The case i quite tall to be ones, and tall non sculpted keys are something else, but I think I will swap them at some point to something a bit lower profile.
I grabbed this kit, since I wanted to build something to leave in the office, since I got bored of lugging my HHKB from the office and back.
The kit is
- Unix60 FR4 with foam insert
- Kalih Box white v1
- some random HHKB keycaps from AliExpress in MA profile,
- TX stabs
- ProMicro ZMK controller
Feels great, a bit different experience than a hhkb, but a nice budget beater build.
This is mainly because I got so used to a HHKB layout that it was a pain to use a conventional one after some time.
Edit: just realized I swapped the r1 modifiers in a hurry. And was so excited to share that I didn't check. 😂
There was a massive discount in a local store and grabbed a pair of Kjerags for 135€. They look soo good IRL, and the Matryx/Kevlar upper feels soo strange. So light yet it feels so rugged. Love the fact that there is no massive rocker, and the cushion is just right.
Compared to my old Merrell Agility Peak 4s, they fit really similar just more roomy and there is more space around the toes. Also the heel feels amazing and the lockdown is superb. No slipping.
I feel they're gonna be great as a single shoe for travel where you can go from cities to mountains, and everything in between.
Also they don't scream running shoes.

10 years, slight yellowing, but still feels amazing to type on.
