Not cheap. Solder stuff need rm140 tongue.gif

Tambah lubing dunno how much d.

My super experienced soldering technician/guru don't even make that much per hour.

Hahaha. I misread. It's USD 140, so should sound about right.

can't understand how they mounted the LEDs. the cup rubber should have block all access to the pcb. unless the mounted it further away from the switch? hmm.gif

That's why I suspect that it's not really Topre. So much LED.

QUOTE(yukihatsu @ Jun 27 2014, 07:52 AM)
I don't get the hype with topre keyboards. I know they're certainly more expensive but does that translate into better quality/typing experience? #sorryinewbie #enlightenmeplease
Okay, okay. Later when Justin's cable is here I'll give it a try.

Edit:
Brothers and sisters, what case is this? I want. tongue.gif

Dude... Topre is the endgame tactile switch. Trust me. Going from MX Browns to Topre is like... dunno how to explain.

Currently forcing myself to use my Ergodox to train my muscle memory, otherwise I'd go back to the Topre.

What? You gonna roll Justnits's cable?  doh.gif
It's freaking thick, 26AWG cable and the sleeve is nylon, you gonna destroy the sleeve by doing that. shakehead.gif
And note the cable is really stiff as hell, it's unlike those phone cable which is soft and rubberish. sweat.gif

QUOTE(yukihatsu @ Jun 27 2014, 08:32 AM)
Serious ah. I thought can coil any cable. And I told him to make a longer one for me LOL. Gotta PM him to change size again. Dang.

I wanna coil like this. cry.gif

i have 28awg also which is thinner and softer.
yukihatsu, you want me to use 26awg or 28awg?

ugh this world cup fever is taking a toll on my cable making...fall asleep after getting back from work doh.gif

HHKB lite 2 is a membrane keyboard.
So, your end game is no more mechanical but u back to membrane keyboard.
Ok.

I wasn't serious about it lol. the Kappa at the end means a sarcastic remark to my statement. i think dadude will know about this

anyways, end game for sure topre. still yet to decide whether which one to aim. but end game for sure not anywhere this year.

Any comments on the HHKB2 layout? Is it better as what most of the people said? How long it took you to get used to the layout?

HHKB lite is membrane bro... Get the pro.

Real man's keyboard is Topre/Buckling Spring. Topre is like typing on REAL cloud of bewbs. So soft and yet so bouncy and responsive.

I put realforce and HHKB together because I hate 60% boards and I like my winkeys (multitaskers FTW!). Any questions?

p/s: already have a Realforce.

Novatouch will have even lousier keycaps. Ok maybe just as bad as typeheaven.

Only logical thing to do with a novatouch is to buy it, harvest the stems, and say hello to realforce+MX keycaps. Hnggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

or get novatouch and use PBT sets

don't need to get novatouch just to harvest stems IMO.

wait for qwerkeys on the stems. IINM qwerkeys and matt3o are working on stems but not working on it together
