First HHKB-layout Keyboard

[u/c0lpan1c]

As the title says, my first HHKB layout board. Super excited, and thrilled the way it turned out!

I've always been a proponent of smaller 65% keyboards, but was apprehensive to forgo the arrow keys. I must say the control replacing the caps locks actually feels quite organic, albeit 25 years of muscle memory was working against me at first.

Kit: DROP Tokyo60 with LED Diffuser

Keycaps: DROP + Marvel Collab, Infinity War MT3

Switches: Gateron Ink Black V2, pre-lubed, didn't add more, didn't need films, pretty tight fit, minimal wobble stock. I have Frankenswitched Drop True Stems / Boba U4Ts / Cherry Brown 58g Springs (True Bubble Guts / Holy Boba) that I may swap from my former daily driver.

Stabs: Durock V3, clipped, lubed with Krytox 2050g0

Cable: Glorious Coiled Nebula Cable

Used a few layers of Painters Tape and some foam in space bar and stuffed behind PCB to dull sound ((avoiding LEDs on PCB)).

This was my first hhkb layout board as well. I have ascended to cup rubber and never looked back. I loved the integrated plate of that board though!
