HHKB: Now in SNOW?

I see a landing page for the new boards, but the caps are not listed anywhere. Hope they sell them :frowning:

Oh, I’m dumb! You can buy the boards now and the keycaps are available in Nov. Nice.

I’ve been doing some more research here and it seems like the only difference between this and the 25th anniversary edition is the legends and the 25th anniversary keycap. If you get the fully blank model then it fully resembles the Japanese 25th anniversary model, down to the packaging even, no?

Yes, I think only the model numbers are different

New unbranded blank board is tuned well out of the box. Let us know how fast the US side is shipping to customers.

Hey Huey! Loved you all on the ad!
Could we ask your pfu connection to find out if the new hhkb snow cases are made out of ABS? I cracked mine open to lube the spacebar stabs, but I found that the case material was pointing towards ‘ABS’ and not the ‘AEPDS’ that I was expecting it to.

Here’s what I’m talking about:

This is especially weird considering the original 2021 release hhkb snow has its arrow pointing towards AEPDS:

There was one other case of this in the conical discord, and that was also one of the newer batches of the JIS hhkb snow.

I don’t know if this is a manufacturing error (accidentally using wrong mold?) or something that pfu made a decision on to make the later batches of the snow model in ABS.

Ultimately, it really doesn’t matter, but I’m afraid that the case will yellow over time like the earlier hhkb models, and I think people that have similar concerns would like to get some clarifications from someone on the inside.

Well, I guess we might all have some yellow snow HHKBs in a decade. :joy:

Did we ever get an answer on this? Pretty concerning if they switched it to ABS to be honest.
