For those who just bought their HHKB from Amazon JP, how much is the total cost and what kind of proxy did you use? Also, how long does it take to arrive on doorstep?

Yeah, rather than forking out RM1k+ for a custom ergo clear, I might as well try a HHKB and most probably 55g mod it. What proxy did you use?

Really tempted to buy the type-S, but the normal version+o rings and lube might be even cheaper and yield a probably even result. Do you use Paypal or CC on Tenso? I wonder if they charge Paypal fees, it might even more expensive.

After watching several sound video on comparison of both dental banded normal and type S, I just prefer the normal version. Also I don't think the extra price is worth it. So, I guess waiting for a day to verify my identification on Tenso is normal?

Yeah, gonna try to make a 55g HHKB. The only thing that I'm worry about is probably the layout which will be pretty difficult to get used to.

After calculating the price for a 60% custom ergo clear and comparing with HHKB, I don't think it's worth it going down that road. My CC is still Topre, but most likely to trade with some Toxic Bros to match with a black HHKB.

Because I really like my 87U 55g and probably think that the 45g is a tad lighter to my liking and the 87U is a bit bulky to bring to places. I might end up selling the mix 45g 55g realforce if I'm liking the 55g HHKB

Sure, if you have colours that might interest me. It's too bad that I have to have an account that is at least 2 months old to create a thread at Classified. Do drop me a PM

Not intending to compare both switch, I just afraid that I might end up not liking the switch after forking so much cash on it. I actually was planning to go for custom but after getting used to the Topre, maybe next time.

Yup, I'm gonna play with the 45g first, who knows I might actually prefer the lighter weight.

Not yet. Though, most people usually compare the Ergo Clear with Topre switch and some even said that they prefer Ergo over Topre. I might make a cheaper Poker 2 Ergo soon to try it as I actually just ordered 62g and 68g Korean springs from Sprit.

EDIT: I also joined the Granite GB, so my MX keycaps are already covered.

Yeah, I knew that the statement would be wrong when I buy my first Mech. . I guess my end game right now would probably be a Korean custom or maybe my 55g HHKB with tons of Clacks and Bros.

I was very interested on the Novatouch but after using my 87U, I think a 60% might suit me better. If only they make a 60% Novatouch, I'll definitely buy it without hesitating.

Don't do that to me, man. I think the only way to finish my end game is to avoid lurking at mech keyboard threads full of poison.

R.I.P your wallet, man.

Not actually rich, I will sell one of the keyboard later to compensate all the money loss. Trying to avoid keeping more than one keyboard at the moment.

That's what I'm afraid off. Novelty caps sink way more money than buying another keyboard IINM. Will try to stop after I got my preferred colour scheme.

So, will Tenso email me after they verify my identification? Also, do I have to wait until the verification from Tenso before ordering from Amazon JP or can I just order it now?

Ah, I actually already got the address as soon as I registered. I guess the verification of ID doesn't matter much. Another question though, Tenso is currently closed on weekend, so should I order tomorrow when it opens or should I order today to save some time of shipping between Amazon to Tenso? I do have a Free same day Amazon Prime shipping(Though I don't think it matters since they're closed atm).

Yeah, the HHKB I wanted have only 3 hours left. I guess I'll just order it now then.

I'm not entirely sure. Though, the black HHKB have only 4 units left, so I have to buy it quickly nonetheless.

Already tried a black on black keys on my Realforce so I'm gonna try the blank version. Moreover, black with lime/toxic green looks so much better than the white version IMO.
