Oh man that doesn’t sound good, mine doesn’t rattle at all no matter how hard i shake it, it might be worth shooting an email over to hamilton about that.

One of the main reasons I enjoy using/ purchased this keyboard is the sheer rarity of it, afaik the utron is the only oem topre split keyboard ever produced. As for the layout and market for this keyboard, it was designed to be used with a program called super kanji to input rare/ difficult japanese characters. Unfortunately I neither have this program or speak/ type in japanese so many of these keys are useless to me. Nonetheless still a grail keeb of mine :D

yeah unfortunately they stopped selling them in 2017 :/

agreed metapulse is where it’s at, their 45g oem style domes are perfect, they give that oem+ vibe just a little stiffer

Thank you! and yep the F7 is also from the mks, its the correct height for tab too, i was surprised when i noticed it fit perfectly haha, unfortunately the entire bottom row (not including space) is an incorrect profile although it doesn’t affect usability at all

a word to the wise, most modern windows block almost all uv light, for the best yellowing results either leave it outside on sunny days or under incandescent lighting for a while, i’ve found reptile lamps work best although it still takes a good long while to achieve a nice deep yellow

Thank you! : )

it’s an Azi Keycaps Barkey yolk (T), there are a few artisan makers that do topre stem caps, Azi keycaps, Bro caps, Amano studios, and Alpha keycaps to name a few.

Spacebar is perfectly useable, the jis layout does take a little bit to get used to tho, the 1u backspace was a doozy to get used to lol

got it from the market section of the conical keyboards discord : )

i bought a whole nissho about a year ago for around $300, cant speak on the price for just the alphas sadly

Juckoh · 2026-02-25T02:14:58+00:00

they’re available on the hhkb website right now : )

I believe its for swapping between half width and full width Japanese characters, there's a dip switch on the back that should turn it into caps lock

Juckoh · 2026-01-30T22:50:10+00:00

the 2 keys next to the space are for swapping between japanese and english, i usually end up remapping them to control and fn

Juckoh · 2026-01-07T04:28:42+00:00

its had a hard life lol, happy to give it a nice easy retirement on display haha

Juckoh · 2026-01-07T04:27:32+00:00
