Looking forward to putting some hours on this thing! Now to find a dongle or PCIe card I actually like so I can burn through some batteries. Pretty wild coming from a full size Filco majestouch 2 ninja with reds and o-rings.
The keycaps are the alternate set from hhkb/Fujitsu. They used to be red and blue they are now green and blue.
I used that filco forever like since the release of the ninja lol. Solid and worked for me forever.
This picture says something to me…“Chase is on the case” is what it’s saying I’m pretty sure.
Nice looking board though, I keep wanting to try one of these but I’m still not sure what to think of them.
I have the same keyboard except different color. Honestly the layout is amazing and I have been so much more productive with it as a software engineer. This keyboard with the Mx Master 3 from Logitech on a Macbook Pro has been my setup for years now.
I do remember being pissed off at the layout in the beginning, but now I'm pissed off when I have to work without it.

I have been Topre-curious for a little while now. I'm particularly drawn to the HHKB due to the layout. I'm generally much more interested in 40/ortho/split/weird stuff, but every time I see the HHKB it calls to me.
It's just a lot of money to take a chance on and I have no idea how I could try one without buying. For now I'll live vicariously through you.
I hope you enjoy your new keeb!
Yeah this was really a jump for me. I've never used anything other than full sized. I had a TKL for a week but it had blues and was my first experience with blues so I didn't keep it.
It really feels premium and if it doesn't work out I won't lose much on it. But so far it's extremely easy to adjust to, I just made delete backspace and changed the windows buttons to windows buttons and an addition function.
My only gripe is I have to figure out a new push to talk key for discord. I am debating going with the windows key, or making it something like a 2 key press, but right now I'm trying out voice activation which I'll probably hate. We'll see!
As someone who also went down the same path with the exact same Filco but a TKL, you'll find it considerably more comfortable typing on a smaller keyboard once you adjust to the layout.
I much prefer the new accented colors Fujitsu provides than the older and darker red/blue combo.
Enjoy being one with cup rubber!
I thought I should let you know this mod stream

Beautiful! There's something about an HHKB that always draws my attention. Where did you get the coloured keycaps from? One day I'll get an HHKB too.
How did you like your Filco? I have a new-ish Filco Mini-La-R with Silent Reds that I got for work that I absolutely love (especially the FN keys on each side of the keyboard, which makes left-handed arrow keys usable whilst I use the mouse with my right hand, which makes my life easier at work). I didn't know about Filco until I got this and I'm VERY impressed with the build quality and feel.
