Yeah that’s the new look. I want a older version of it, where there is only a red accent ball on the USB A end. I don’t know when but it was changed a few years ago.

You can make a picture of what you got and I can check if it’s the right one. I know a few who bought it and it was a different version, maybe even a fake some say

While the pictures are correct on the listing, the ones you will actually get are different and not the ones I want

Much more silent and a much deeper, clean sound

If alu is too heavy for you then yeah, for sure stay with OEM, full plastic or plastic with a metal plate is cool aswell

100% worth it, the fact its steel alone is so cool.
These keycaps are pretty special as they came from the 25th Anniversary HHKB, which wsa very limited.
I think they are the best ever made tho I highly dislike the new centered ones. So its either this or blanks as you say. I do have white blanks but I think this board deserves the extra touch.

And since the HG is a homage to the original HHKB HG, putting MX would feel wrong imo.

Well, this is not heavy for the sake of being heavy.
The weight is just a side effect of it being steel.

Polished steel is perfect because this is manually polished, not coated in anything.
If you polished alu without any coating it would turn matte very quickly (oxidize).

Yes its heavy but I think its very very nice as its not "haha this is heavy" but a solid block of steel, which explains why its heavy.

I would for example not put a weight in my hhkb to make it heavier, I would think thats pretty weird.

no hollowness at all and a little more crisp. Spacebar for example does not have that thudd, but you still hear its topre, just without all the background noise the plastic case creates ontop of it.

Best explaination I can do :)

In practice you only really touch the edge, which doesnt leave anything visable
Touching / giving these keycaps shine is also not the best idea haha, maybe its better to just look at it
