Original Gokukawa leather wrapped keycaps 

Original sealed USB cable

Original user manual

Serial/date: #000140 - 2005/01

I bought it from a guy who told me:

it was a random buyee/mercari find last year, managed to get a friend in japan to message the seller on mercari to get more info but all he said was this "旧社員の所有物。2007年頃、オフィスのクリスマス景品として、さくらが制作。

which translates to:

Property of a former employee. Produced by Sakura around 2007 as a Christmas prize for the office.

im trying to find contacts at PFU to see if i can find out more about this...

Has anybody tried these silencing rings from YMDK? I'm planning to get them.

Sooo I'm looking to silence my board and deskeys stuff aren't the option for me in where I live. Are these YMDK silencing rings good?

25th Anniversary Edition

Finally got my hands on the HHKB 25th Anniversary Edition, I think it's my favorite one.

The biggest reason is the keycaps. I know it's a small detail, but I love the left-aligned legends.

Question re 30th anniversary options

No chance this will be released in non-BT or with blanks, right? The announced options are all I will get?

I have wanted 30g for some time but dislike the bump (and the keycaps). Tyty

Long time custom MX user, first time custom Topre user.

I have been in the custom mechanical keyboard hobby for years and never tried Topre until this year.

I decided to finally mod my HHKB Professional Hybrid Type-S by lubing the sliders and stabilizers with Krytox 205g0 and dome swapped the OEM domes for 50g Astrodomes. Also added this fun little Topre sticker on the bottom case for a little extra personalization.

The difference is staggering for the typing experience from stock to modded. The Astrodomes have a much more defined or "sharp" bump to it compared to the OEM domes, which feel more rounded.

Highly recommend modding your HHKB if you have not yet!

shopping for an hhkb - what domes and aftermarket parts to get?

i thought i'd give topre another try. so i'm on the market for items to build with it. i think i can get away with buying a base hhkb (no hybrid or type-s) with aftermarket parts.

- i think i can buy an aftermarket bluetooth controller (hasu?) if i want it which is nice because i can do away with the bump at the back

- a cipulot, or other remappable pcb, if i need it. does anyone have recommendations?

- if i can't find a cheap enough type-s, silencing rings. what's your favorite?

- 35g domes. i managed to find tiffany, others seem to like dynacap, not sure what the difference is. preserving hhkb tactility with lighter push for ergonomics would be nice

- planning on making it as silent as possible, so lube and sorbothane

recommendations for specifics for all of these appreciated

HHKB Pro BT or Hybrit Type-S

There is no official HHKB retailer in my country, and they are very hard to find here. However, someone is currently selling the older BT model for around $170. Should I wait 2-3 months to hear back from my friend abroad and get a hybrit Type-S, or should I just buy the BT model since I've already found one available?

Selling HHKB Classic

Sorry in advance for my English, it's not my first language.

Good afternoon, I'm quite happy about my HHKB classic, which I bought 3 years ago, but I want to sell it and upgrade to a wireless model.

Since this is a niche product and I have found no buyers in Spanish platform wallapop, I'm making this post.

Would anyone be interested in buying it, it's in perfect condition and I am selling it for 150€ (or USD), preferably to someone in the European Union. If you are interested, please PM me and we will discuss a secure platform to conduct the sale.

Thank you in advance.

My 2nd one + keycaps survey

I’ve already got an HHKB, hybrid white non-printed, customised with 55g original Topre domes and 3rd party silencing rings. I thought it was my endgame and it really was in a certain sense… but I decided to get another one.
Here’s my new vanilla Professional Hybrid Type-S.

Lately I’ve seen keycaps with centred letters getting really popular, but I love the classic ones, especially the white/grey combination gives a old-style touch I can’t resist. What are your favourite HHKB keycaps? (Original ones, leave out HiPro, Kbdfans etc.)

Probably a nice combination would be black case with white/grey keycaps, does anybody got this? (I’ve got something like that with my Realforce 2)

Where can I get keycaps for my Pro 2?

I'm trying to get a keycap set for my Pro 2 but couldn't find any of them on Aliexpress, are all of the domikeys/kbdfans keycaps are all discontinued?

New (to me) Hybrid Type S

I’ve been looking for a keyboard for work and found myself really thinking about a hhkb, although was torn as I usually use a 75% for everything. I was able to pick this one up for an absurdly cheap price via ebay and it arrived today! I love how topre feels so far, but the layout is for sure going to be an uphill battle for the time being :)
