Did you mean the Neo80 (this vid) or no? As for the hhkb, it really comes down to preference. Some people love them and some people don't. A couple reason why some do has a lot to do with the Topre switches, layout, plastic build and quality. The topre switches + plastic construction gives it a unique typing experience and deep sound profile. I personally really enjoy the hhkb but for the most part I find the general public typically prefer mx keyboards. Perhaps it is an acquired taste. Best way to find out is either try one at a keyboard meetup or purchase a used one.

It was a custom made cable I got from Zap Cables who've recently closed back in 2023.

I found the ball-catch mechanism pretty neat. Makes trying different configurations much easier, like trying the different mounting styles or removing/adding the case foam. There aren't any disadvantages I can see compared to a traditional screw design. I was a bit skeptical if the ball-catch was secure but it felt pretty secure, requires quite a bit of force to open so I doubt you'd accidentally open it. The other thing I was unsure about was the rated usage of the ball-catch if you kept opening/closing. I'm sure its fine as the ball-catch is a pretty common hardware mechanism found in things like cabinet doors, wardrobe doors, etc.

I'd def recommend looking into getting a Neo80. Pretty great board for the price (relatively)

Not sure what the differences are between the revisions. But I believe removing the plungers are the same between all hhkb's, you just need to poke them out. It does take a bit of force but they will come out, using something like a marker helps too.

It is the Hilbert Dark Deskmat for the Gmk Oblivion keycaps. They are sold out and not sure if it'll have another run but you were able to buy them from oblotzky if you were in the EU

yah, I was actually surprised how well the board sounded stock.

Yah that is a valid take. It's all preference at the end of the day. Some people hate the sound and feel of topre and some love them. Best way to find out for yourself is to try one out. I personally really enjoy the sound and feel of Topre switches. Also the tactility isn't comparable to any mx tactile switch.

They feel better than all the other switches, that's how they feel.

@skavcic to each their own bud I don't like tactile switches. And I certainly don't like the sound I'm hearing from these boards. I'll stick with my black ink v2's

Unfortunately I cannot. The build was for a friend to give to his gf so I don't have it anymore. I would have liked to do a foamless sound test but was under a time crunch because I wanted to give it to em before Christmas.

clack clack :)

its already filled with all possible foam you can have on a board so I don't think it needs more foam. I actually think you'd want to remove all the foam if you want a less plasticky sound. its loud because the audio is increased during editing or you would barely hear the keyboard.

oh its the *exact* color id want too

@@Coolio_Ash yeeee, its a long pole tactile switch

Ya valid. Ideally, I'd want to have the mic on a stand not connected to the table to prevent any sort of vibration thud to be picked up. Unfortunately I never got around to getting a mic stand and have been putting the mic on that desk shelf. The desk shelf does have rubber feet and the microphone is also on some shelf liner to help reduce the typing vibration/thud, so that helps a bit. I have tested the the mic when it is on a stool off the desk to see how much of a difference my current setup is in comparison. And the sound is actually pretty similar. Only difference with my current setup is the slight desk thud you hear if you increase the volume and/or your speakers are very bass heavy but even then the difference is negligible.

u kno the vibes

Its meletrix's phone app which is called "pocket wuque"

About $200-300 USD @darkproject_eu

A friend built it so I'm not sure on the exact price. The build parts are in the description and based off those it seems like it'd come out to approx 350usd before shipping/taxes. If i recall he also ordered the zoom75 kit in pre-order which would be cheaper than buying in stock, so he probably payed a bit less
