My 104 key v2 had screws hidden under the adjustable feet. Mine died after 9 years, totally unresponsive...

Im exactly the opposite and i love the mushy bottom out of silent switches, ive used them in my main split keyboard and ive been loving it so far.

it also doesnt get shipped....

Can you please make a video comparing with a POM plate? I want to join the new Mode Sonnet preorder next week but unsure if I want to go aluminum top with polycarb bottom or go full full aluminum. I want a deep and marbly sound but I also don't want it to sound too hollow.

NICE VIDEO!

your examples on feel are great. thank you.

I miss you and Taekeyboards

Years later, this is still the board we daily drive for work despite having a ton of other customs.

I was watching this video for second time since JYMV made such great video. At 4:52 I was literally crying from laughing. Plz come back and make more great vids.

What wireless split ergo would you recommend ?

What happened to the leopold fc660c? Not worth keeping over HHKB?

Come back!

Since it seems to reuse Logitech IC, my guess is that is a feature not provided by Logitech. I have a Logitech wireless membrane keyboard and mice. Neither have wired as fallback.

5:43 interesting, i switch between Mac and Windows (i WFH and my work computer is a mac) but I keep my keyboard layout as is on both. I use the Mac/Unix layout with GUI/Cmd/Win to immediately next to Space, then Alt/Option then Ctrl. I say interesting because looking around at keyboards and some that are marketed for compatibility to both even have switches that let you swap between Space-Gui-Alt and Space-Alt-GUI...doesn't that mess with your muscle memory having to swap the keys like that?

lol i think you may wanna invest in a humidifier

yoo this sound is giving me a headache

Az da adaş. Tv

Jenny nicholson mentioned 🗿

Is this based on sofle?

Why do they hike get so many bad reviews than? Oh md I have 2 custom keyboards one for 2 years no issues and a second I just got and been using for 2 weeks no issues yet

I feel like for the amount of money you've spent on HHKB keyboards you are an official fan, but like, in a mid way. Like the Dilbert of fans.

people actually destryo their keyboards be having a light electrical discharge?

I don't know why but I just love the plasticky sound of the hhkb feels like an retro keyboard but don't feel(very subjective)

No Leopold 😭

did you change your mind about them after 2 years ?

Thanks for this well-made video! :)

Have you ever picked up an MX Mechanical Mini?

Good old reliable. This is why businesses around the world have been using Topre since the 80's, if you need a keyboard that works flawlessly 100% of the time there is no substitute.

If you're not programming the Del key here is perfection. The presence of Capslock is the only real problem with this keyboard, by default it should be an Fn key.

I love Topre but wish the return speed was quicker. Anyone have recommendations that preserve the OEM Topre 45g feel but has a snappier return? Thanks

What about the Leopold FC660C?

Nice vid mate

@JYMV I just thrifted this board bc of its media keys & volume wheel. Love it!

I was a Ramaworks fan but its reputation is a joke now.

VVHAT? NO Cursor Keys? How is that supposed to work? Did Steve Jobs have to approve this? I know, in the OLD days we had WordStar Ctrl-E/S/D/X for cursor movement out of the home row, but nowadays on a IBM Model M keyboard, that feel ARKANE. It IS TWO keypresses, just for 1 line up. That might have been good on an Apple II keyboard, but NOT on an IBM Model M.

I have nicer keyboards that I can type faster with but keep finding myself doing the same and daily driving a modded and lubed HHKB Hybrid.

In the future this man uses hhkb as his daily.

I think the HHKB wins out over time. Initially, people will hate on it. But the more they use it in their rotation, and potentially mod it, the more it silently becomes their most used board.

I actually really like it after modding it. Its a softer bottom out than my M60A and a good mobile option. The acoustics are also good.

It says a lot that the HHKB Hybrid (Non Type-S) is the one board I would keep if I had to liquidate all of my custom mechs. Once lubed and silenced, I added a set of hi-pro keycaps to them. Being a non type-S, the silencing on the shorter stem is amazing. It brings the tactility up even higher and makes it nearly a linear with a great bottom out feeling. It sounds great, it works on all my devices, it’s easy to transport, it’s a great format that keeps my hands in place for the most part. And, the wireless connectivity is also fantastic and reliable. I can take it into the office (as you mentioned) and people are not only unbothered, but I’ve also converted a few others to the same board.

Upstroke silencing rings on a non-TypeS I find turns it into almost a Linear, which I LOVE. I actually think the Type-S that I have is much worse than the non-typeS that I silenced.

their spacebars have always been their weakest link.. I think if they used costar it wouldn't be a problem.. I just use a few o-rings on my leopold space bar and it usually negates the issues.

Why custom keyboards are unreliable? I make my very cheap ass custom 1.5 years ago, with one of outemu silent switches, XDA keycap profile... And it's still fine. Never disappointed or lagged also typing is pleasure and like 5 times more silent that regular (not mechanical) keyboard. I lubed it twice from that time btw.

How about a mkb8x M3…

Try the Lucy silent linears from divinikeys. I think they really don't suck.

So sad, Rama used to be a great high-end brand, may the current really high-end ones not repeat this. God bless.

I feel happy knowing that I'll be able to ergonomically tell someone: _Deez Nutz_ , well into my 80s; with the help of advancements in technology like this

the next silent switch you should try are the Lichicx silent switches. it has three types: a linear, a tactile with a small bump and one with a big bump. Ive had it on my keyboard for a while and I love it. I hate mushy silent switches as well and out of all the silent switches I tried these are the least mushy.

Yooo $2.00 up-charge for a fried egg is criminal.
