Can’t wait to see it.

I thought this was a render. This is so nice.

I recently built this board for my son, who is a senior in high school. After some testing of various switches and looking at different keycap designs, he decided he would like a cyberpunk-inspired board.

So we went with the NovelKeys NK87 Aluminum Edition in Nebula Pink (Batch 1 is heavily discounted right now and as it happens blue and pink are the only two colors left). The board itself is extremely nice for the discounted price. The only issue is that the stabilizers are kind of rattly, so you will need to relube/tune them.

The switches are Zelios V1 Redux, which are currently on sale at Zeal and are some of my favorite tactile switches. The keycaps are of course GMK Laser, but unlike when I first picked up a set of these years ago, I was able to get them pretty cheaply in stock at Drop.

Overall, very happy with how the board turned out.

I would love to buy something like that…and still I know how unlikely that is.

Thank you!

Well, it’s not mass production :smiley: and I try to do best as I can.

Again, thank you all :heart:

If you look really closely, you can make out slight imperfections and layer lines. These do not bother me. Some of my injection-molded keycaps look worse. :laughing:

It’s not my favorite board to-date, but being able to go full pinky on the backspace makes this one of my favorite layouts for sure. Both switches for the spacebar and enter key are either upside down or turned counterclockwise. I don’t love that. IMO, the feel and sound are negatively impacted when you do that. But, the white LED underglow through that thick silicon case pad makes for a very pleasant nightlight. Lol.

Sun Type 3 / HHKB backspace deserves even more love.

What PCB did you get? I know with hotswap, my spacebar has the switch flipped but if I flip the spacebar too… its ok :stuck_out_tongue:

My only gripe is that “|\” has top of my switch in the left orientation, and so my keycap is ever so slightly angled. I don’t think a person would notice… but I notice.

I got the hotswap BODO. Pooh. Like I appreciate all the flexibility in layouts, but I kind of feel the vendor is the big winner here – keeping inventory down by combing ANSI, ISO, and Tsangan layouts into a single PCB. It’s innovative sure, but every switch should somehow still be orientated in a uniform direction or weird things are gonna happen.

Same.

Introducing the Happy Hacking Keychain.

Here is my idea of an every-day-carry product which I can produce in a timely manner with my current equipment. Among the classic HHKB Charcoal and White, I will be offering special editions with bespoke colors for case and keycaps.

Every HHKC will carry a unique prime number starting at 2. Upon request, the underside will feature your name as well — photos in the coming days.

I hope you like and support this product — Thank You :heart:
