Lose the Topre-style forehead, and that NK Classic could almost be my M87 Pro build!
Playing with combos of the new HHKB caps. People hate on the center legends but I think they’re pretty nice.
Honestly yea I don’t mind the center legends on an HHKB especially with the left & right side mods being pushed to their respective directions. Makes it look nice and symmetrical.
Almost forgot how much I love this keyboard:
Class80 R2 WK
- KBDfans Roller switches
- GMK CYL Olive R2 Dark
- POM Plate, top-mounted
- Designer Studio Adaptive stabilizers
- OLKB washers to prevent teeter
- Foams: both PCB, 2 smaller case
- Custom red light gel for indicator LEDs
- Solenoid omitted (clearance issues with included unit)
I think it sounds so good:
This is so close to being a perfect keyboard for me I might as well call it one. If they ever do an R3, I’d say bring back the screw-mounting for the bottom weight it had, fix the stretched font on the LED indicator while keeping its updated mounting, and bam - actual perfection.
For any Neon Genesis Evangelion fans out there.

all your boards and setup look amazing! do you have a gallery with all your pictures? I would love some inspiration for my new office ![]()
With theremingoat.com officially turning 5 years old today, I figured it was about time to break out the collection for another family photo. While it’s not a particularly great photograph, fitting 3,500 different switches in a 7’ x 3.5’ grid into one photo while standing atop a sofa is a lot easier said than done…
Cheers to your switch collection Goat, my burning question is what would you do if someone snuck into your house and popped all the switches out of their spots and moved them around.
I spy with my little eye… nothing with a rubber dome here?!

Loving the setup fox!
Struggled to pair the keycaps and copper Salvation but I think this might be a match (…for now).
DCD Banana + Gat Milky Yellows + FR4 plate and and Akko v3 Creamy Black Pro in the tiny spacebar.
Really digging the Milky Yellows recently.
This is cool and a good pairing but it is also giving me borderline trypophobia

I’m not very happy now after looking up trypophobia. Let’s just go ahead and add that to the list. Not really a fear for me, but some of the associated images in Google did turn my stomach a bit.
Got my DCS SMRT caps on a board today. Here it is on my navy 500c
The JWK Mocha Chocolate switches pair nicely with DCS
. Definitely going to be on my desk for a hot minute
Very nice. Good taste.
Navy case the right move. I always thought DCS SMRT would look good on my navy Neo80.
BTW I bet it would also look good with the yellow accents on those clear / yellow Classic-TKLs.
Ah - looks great with the yellow. I went blue but may do a switch out. What I need is another set of alphas!
My wife wanted a green board and CannonKeys has the Savage65 on sale so she picked one up along with Strawberry Milk keycaps. Switches are lubed and filmed Ink Blacks out of her old keyboard.
The EC Agar came in a couple days ago.
Then came the show down.
The EC Naevies are interesting. They feel lighter than the 45g Silenced Topre in my R3, but just as tactile, snappier possibly. Topre has more resistance at the bottom, like they don’t want to stay compressed. The Naevies are happy to be collapsed like the domes are thinner or something. The 660C is on a whole other level. It has the oldest of the domes, but it was also manufactured during the Chinese era of the boards, and the domes have always been more tactile than stock 45g Topre to me.
So the Naevies are relatively light-weight but snappy? That’s good.
I found the FC-series of ‘45 G’ Topre domes to feel heavier than required. The Naevies could be a nice alternative. [Still waiting for 35 G, though.]
Decided to finally commit to taking apart the HHKB Pro Classic and lubing it…and now I am wondering why I took so long to do so. I love the sound of this thing even more now. I did not add silencing rings or anything like that, simply lubed it and moved on.
So, going to be using this for awhile and probably take it into the office since I’m now there three days a week.
