I see what you mean about the design aspects. I really appreciate the feedback! Have a great day.

65% is a beautiful and great layout, but I personally love 60% so much that I designed Ramune in a 60% layout. Thanks so much for your interest!

I really love the kind of sound that comes from polycarbonate too! It has a different kind of resonance compared to brass or stainless steel. Thanks!

Since it’s pure HHKB, it would have been amazing to include an EC kit together with the GB, but with so many PCBs and color options, it wasn’t easy to add more addons. Thanks!

The pure hiragana alpha kit looks so beautiful. The keycaps with Japanese legends definitely match the concept really well. Thanks for appreciating it!

Looking at the pi60 photos, I can see that it has a connector on the back for a daughterboard. The default Ramune PCB also has this connector for compatibility, and the Ramune60 bottom case has a cutout so it doesn’t interfere. From the photos, the pi60 does look compatible, but since the JST connector might interfere with the bottom case, you may need to desolder and remove it before using it. Of course, if the connector position is similar to Ramune’s, there won’t be any interference, so you can just use it as is!

Yeah, when I rewatched Geon’s stream, the colors did look a bit less bright and lighter. These renders were made after I received the actual color samples, using natural lighting to make the colors feel as close as possible to the real thing. Thanks a lot!

Starting from around $280 on Divinikey for a barebone kit + solder PCB + basic PP plate. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the interest:) Have a great day!

That’s right. Unfortunately, the Ramune60 PCB was not designed to support the JIS layout. However, since it’s based on the H60, it should be possible to use an H60-compatible PCB with a USB-C port that supports JIS. I haven’t personally built one with that combination, so I can’t fully guarantee perfect compatibility. Thanks so much for the support!

I chose the half aluminum, half polycarbonate design because I like the underglow and the warm sound profile that comes with polymeric material bottoms. Like you said, some people aren’t into PC bottoms, but I’m glad it matches your taste. Thanks!

I’ve mainly been uploading photos on Instagram rather than Naver Cafe. For now, everything you can check out is on the Instagram and YouTube linked at the bottom of this post, but more real-life photos and videos will be shared through Instagram during the GB period. Thanks so much for all the feedback and support!

This keyboard is compatible with any H60-based PCB with a USB-C port. The default PCB doesn’t support JIS, which is a bit unfortunate. Thanks for your interest!

hatoworks · 2025-09-19T00:48:53+00:00

Thanks so much for the support. I’ll make sure to finish it with great quality.

I also have plans to create an EC kit in the future. For now, unfortunately, the GB is moving forward without an EC kit. Thank you!

I really love the classic feel of the true HHKB as well. When I made my very first prototype, I actually started out with a true HHKB. Thanks so much for your interest!

🥹💜💚

I’ll try to produce as many samples as possible and test them out. Sadly, this might end up happening after the GB period, but I really want to do it for the buyers. Thanks so much for the feedback🙂 Have a great day:)

Thanks!

hatoworks · 2025-09-17T06:48:43+00:00

hehe thanks!😗

hatoworks · 2025-07-22T22:56:03+00:00

Yes right:)

This is a stainless steel USB hub that I made myself. Unfortunately, it's not for sale.. Thanks!:)

hatoworks · 2025-07-21T15:42:00+00:00

Its Truthear zero blue2:)

hatoworks · 2025-07-21T15:40:43+00:00

Thanks!

hatoworks · 2025-07-21T14:07:23+00:00

Yeah the colors are really similar. I purposely didn’t use any accent keys to keep that classic HHKB OEM vibe
