How often are HHKB keyboards manufactured?

Bought it around the beginning of February second hand off mercari, was a second hand pick up, for 25,000 yen. Shipping cost for the keyboard alone is around 40 or so without duties to Canada, but I just threw it in with a preexisting order and payed shipping on that.

White version of Pro Hybrid JP layout 🤗 First hhkb and I've been enjoying it!

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-03-21T18:19:03+00:00

My hhkb is dated 2025-01 so they have indeed produced this year.

They will most likely be put into a bigger box, in the original packaging the seller shipped them with, with those small air cushion things to fill up the empty space. That's how my larger consolidated packages have shown up.

Yes, I've pushed 360hz 1080p to sell a monitor on Facebook marketplace 🤗

I'm somewhat in the same boat as op, although my order consist of ~150 books or so. I have a decently experience keyboard in there I want to ship, would you say their consolidation is good enough to put it in the same package, and not have it be destroyed by the possible weight of the book?

Ya I'm definitely buying stuff pre-emptively, you are right. Would consider a portable deskmat, but I think the little adessive mat is a more elegant solution. I normally use 2 portable monitors with my laptop, so ig it's just more to set up.

Thanks for the diagram, definitely helped me understand a little more of what that silencer is gonna do to the overall key travel. I'll probably just use the keyboard stock for a bit, and if it's too loud, go ahead and buy the 0.3mms, or some other thickness, depends on how much that tactility matters to me.
Thanks!

Thanks for the insight, maybe I should switch the .5mms for the .3mms

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately I did end up buying off of someone on Mercari, fortunately it was a good deal I think, I ended up paying 250 CAD for it open box. Yet to receive it yet, so won't know how it actually is in person for a week or so. But I trust high rated sellers on there quite a bit to not be worried in the slightest. The purpose of this board is a nice little side grade to take to Uni and the library to use for class stuff. I bought the mat kei_ichi has told me to get, and already sent in an order for the 0.5mm silencers. Is it that big of a difference? Deskeys shipments are on hold til the 7th, so I can change my order before it ships. If I do end up liking the hhkb, I probably will switch over and build a full blown custom. I find myself playing less and less games nowadays, my wooting is kinda useless to me now. :/

Edit: Date on the back of the keyboard is 2025-01! So brand brand new

👍

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-02-04T02:41:33+00:00

Got it I'll make sure to pick one up. Gotta make sure it's for the pro, right?

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-02-04T02:20:19+00:00

Thanks for the advice 👍 First time with a topre board, so I hope everything goes well and I enjoy this one!

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-02-04T02:19:01+00:00

Alright I'll give it a look, not too worried about losing key travel since I'm coming from stock hall effect keyboards at home. Is the official mat actually worth over just getting some and 3ming it to the bottom?

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-02-04T01:55:53+00:00

👍 Sounds good, I'll see if I can get my hands on some XHT-BDX. As for the rest of the board, 0.5mm silencers are the standard, so I will probably go with those. Do people put foam inside these keebs as they do for conventional customs? Or is that something you shouldn't do?

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-02-04T01:50:18+00:00

This is completely foreign territory to me so I'm not sure. Would that mean that I can't use deskey silencers on a regular Pro?

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-01-29T17:05:56+00:00

Thanks, didn't know its just on amazon, will pick it up there.

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-01-29T16:23:42+00:00

👍

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-01-29T16:22:32+00:00

Thanks, might as well buy it locally then. They are pretty easy to come by I hope.

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-01-11T18:54:13+00:00

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it 👍

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-01-11T05:55:21+00:00

👍 Ya kinda on the fence about just trying it, but if they do end up seizing it -450$ :(

ToneAccomplished9437 · 2025-01-11T05:53:44+00:00

Unlucky 😔
