Soo I'm expecting a big, small package that's coming soon from Japan. I'm thinking of selling my Realforce 104UG-HiPro—if there's any takers do let me know what you think in PM.

Soo recently I ordered another Topre from Japon. Below are some heavily filtered pictures of it. Enjoice. The usual 56K warning applies.

Amusingly, it appears that my special keyboard roof is missing from the package. Ohh the pain is real. Hngggg!

Sorry for the potato ass filtered pictures. I hate them myself.

LOLNO.

I mean I just spent almost all my savings from many months of my sweat-drenched salary to get these e-penor stuff and you want me to put them in the spoiler?

This buying guide is a good place to start: Reddit Mechanical Keyboard Buying Guide

No?

But then most China's MKB are missing from it.

I tried to buy a keyboard with doubleshot PBT from WASD last year. But then they went out-of-stock when I was ready to order.

I hesitated because the shipping to our shore is like 50USD or something? Or is that from EK? I can't remember.

Good thing is that led me to the Japanese instead.

By Japanese u mean Filco? May I know where's the best place to buy/try Filco boards here in Msia?
No I meant Topre and HHKB.

Though I do have Filco's key puller. Can't comment on their keyboards—I have no experience with any of them. I heard they are quite good.

No idea where to get them sorry.

Edit: I like WASD offerings. Their CODE keyboards are nice I think. Then I saw V2 with options to customize those keys. But then I started to read about doubleshot PBT, then I read about switches... I think it's a very vicious cycles. Well, I just don't have the $$$ to go through that cycles.

Hello people, what's the best way to "import" HHKB ?

Should I use a Japan to MY service?

I used Tenso (https://www.tenso.com/), JPY5,850. Rakuten > Tenso > Kastam > You.

Thanks for the information, is JPY5850 the service charge from Tenso ?
*
That's the amount I paid to Tenso. Below is the breakdown:

International shipping fee, JPY3,800
Handling fee, JPY1,150
Consolidation fee, JPY800
Insurance fee, JPY100
Total, JPY5,850 [MYR242.32]

Edit: The amount I paid to Tenso plus Kastam is as expensive as those peasant keyboards. Hahaha sorry guys it's my penor talking.

Any specific guide you followed or you'd suggest to a first timer to do the Hypersphere mod?
