Just got mine 10minutes before, it look great,
but like Kai said the middle are bent upward so the middle part are not touching the keyboard, it's like a bridge, u know what I mean?
and it doesn't stay at the surface of the keyboard, it slide downward or left or right side of the keyboard....

I think I need to get some foam or soft jelly kind of thing to stick it to the edge of it to prevent it from slipping around...
that will also solve the issue of mid bending upward like a bridge.

Overall the item very good at it's price, if I want a perfect roof made just for HHKB Pro2,
that's going to cost me $USD40.00 without shipment, from EK.

Thank you for your effort to make this group buy a successful one.
I really appreciate it.

I would suggest you get my Steelseries Full NKRO, with another RM70, but the keycaps has to go with it....

Hmmmm,..... HHKB Pro 2 is how many grams weight force?
is there varied? I mean is there like 45g uniform, 55g uniform, or mix weight?

Thanks for the info, I do not know what is the actual weight, but it seem heavier than the red switch Leopold......
Red switch is 45g right? then it is suppose to be 50g or even 55g...... not sure how to measure it.....
wait let me try this....


That's some one cent! around 28+-,
the weight is 56g and the key sink in!


Tragic happen!!! when testing the enter key!!!
the tower had fallen!!!
later tested it sink in at 58g....


this is the weight for A key....

you are right, the enter are different weight already,
I think maybe will find all different weight if I test all keys
and the Fn key is 51g =_=|||
is that because of my scale are broken or the standard of Malaysia 1 cents are non standard?
also the possibility of the dome are different weight @@

Those are ABS! Get my PBT better la!
got 7G some more....

btw, if I keep on promoting my keyboard here, will I get banned @@

Ya I read that article before, but this 2nd hand HHKB I got is from 2006, which is 6 years ago.
IMO the stiffening is not as much as the one that they experimenting....
but I haven't try all keys yet, so can't be sure of that, and my scale are not the professional one,
that might not be accurate, just wait till I get something more accurate and test it out.
The A key and Fn key are most often used key in that post's opinion, but the A key on mine are not that much different,
if it is a 55g 6 years ago..... but if it is a 45g 6 years ago, then it has a 11gms different in between 6 years.

all in all, that the 1cents might not be accurate as well as the scale might not be accurate too.
We do not have a conclusion yet.

Oh, well, now you would not think my RM50 GdExpress Shipment is pricy now would you?

zzz this is GdExpress courier service, express, WASD keyboard uses standard shipment right?
if you want me to post it to u with standard postage also can,
if you would take the risk, won't be over RM20 I think.

are you gonna get that for real?
good luck for that....

hmmm if you can wait, my sister in law from Penang are coming to My place next week, and she will be return to Penang next next week,
maybe an option for her to send it to you or COD you in Penang... need her to agree first, the keyboard is 2kg weight.
without the keycaps now selling RM350.00, hows that?

Customize the keycaps you mean?
which one's keycaps?

The HHKB is black on black blank keycaps,
I put on a set of white and grey keycaps now.

The Steelseries have ABS keycaps, I put on Rainbow PBT keycaps,
but now selling it so I put the ABS back on.

The Leopold Red Switch have 86 PBT Purple on Black PBT keycaps,
which I originally brought for my Filco, and the filch are sold without these keycaps,
so I put them on my Leopold, but the Spacebar wouldn't fit, so it is the original ABS spacebar from Leopold.
thus 86 keys PBT mod, kindda weird.

Added on May 10, 2012, 12:58 pmso what do you think of the Realforce 87 layout?
the numlock activate the number beside the Enter key right?
for imputing numbers or uses apps like calculators is it convenience?

not at all!
there are different materials, like metal, plastic, even wood.
different printings method, like laser, drill, dye, print, subdye and etc

even in the plastic have varied type, like ABS, PBT, POM..
the most common one are ABS plastic, which most of the keyboards uses,
PBT are harder and more durable, and can sustain higher temperature, so they can use different method of printing method.
POM are the hardest plastic uses for keycaps, but some claim it is slippery...

some metal keycaps like Aluminum, Zinc and etc, and they have different printing way too,
I m not a huge fan of cold metal keycaps, so I do not know much about these.

wood keycaps are not that common in mechanical keyboards I think, so far I haven't seen any,
but I seen some normal keyboard with bamboo keycaps and wooden keycaps.

if you want customize print on the keycaps, you can order them from Taobao, each key are RM10.00++, before shipment.
you can have your own picture print on it, I think you can even choose the color of the keycaps,
but I think they uses only PBT, because the printing require heating the keycaps to certain temperature,
and it will not fade even heavily used.

if you are getting some keys, maybe we can order them together to save postage from China.
I have a few ideas of the keys designs myself.
