this is my first JIS kb

Getting pcb first, just graduated and unemployed, limited budget case can wait

Found the EC forum thread, but could not understand if its include controller and smd component for rmb300+. Soldering not a problem since I have too much free time to burn

And only 1/20 votes

if you dont use jp layout why not buy the rm400 one? cheaper a lot.

i type a lot, to toggle from hiragana to katagana and katagana to hiragana, i have to alt + caps lock and ctrl + caps lock respectively, that extra 2 buttons from JIS might come in handy, the only irritating thing is hunting kana keycaps


and last but not least - exotic

then i understand why you need that two switches.
enjoy. it will be a lot more convenient with that.
but keycap replacement is a problem for cherry mx switch

there is JP keycaps for same, made by PFU.
and it is only for hhkb pro/2 jp layout.

Whats that behind the EXE?

456gt

The jp legends keycaps made by Topre corp. for Realforce and Happy Hacking keyboard JIS layout keyboards.
Full pbt dyesub including spacebar also pbt.
For Topre users only.


MX Cherry users , seems jp keycaps hard to find.

I think the controller chip should be included but not soldered, else will be little headache to source one by yourself .
smd diode/resistor no big deal, can buy from taobao and they are very cheap.

Other way round is self order nerd tkl pcb from gon .

How much was it?

If you have to ask, you can't afford one.

Thanks joonwei23. In that case, I decided to just go straight for a replacement since it's still a few days since unbox. It's very unfortunate to experience my first mechanical keyboard with this defect. I have to say, this Corsair keyboard disappointed me a lot because for other keys that do click, still there are a lot of inconsistency. Sometimes they click sometimes they don't. Even though I fully released the key before pressing them again.

Hey, 0168257061. If this same issue happen to my item, will I be able to get a refund or exchanged?

its much easier to change that one faulty switch rather than the whole board.

I know how much it usually goes for, and if not, a simple GH search would reveal the answer. No need to sound like everyone here is piss poor and can only afford to drool at Korean customs. I just wanted to know how much it cost him 's all.

This here, the Hao-est of them all. Do you seriously spare no expense when it comes to keyboards?
;D

Hahahahhahaha. Sorry if it came out that way. Was just joking. Cuz I know the insane price tag is nothing to sneeze at. So youre getting one? I thought you said you prefered topres last time.

Oh, that was before I got a realforce. Now I just wanna get rid of it. Pity really, it's nice and all but not all that practical. The domes feel like they have to be pampered or they'll just flat out break if I happen to use
a little too much force. Feels fragile, that's what I'm saying. I'd go back to the button mashing on mx switches in a heartbeat.

And yes, eventually. The GT is my endgame, and now I'm thinking of selling off my violin for it. That's roughly how much I got it for anyway.
