I'm really jazzed I was able to get in on round 5a. I got some black alphas leftover from modern selectric, so that'll give me some flexibility too.

Just making sure I'm not missing something. The Round 5a sets don't have options for an HHKB layout like they did for the Round 5 kits, correct?

How many HHKBs are out there that can take MX-mount keycaps?

Customs. This isn't your average caps GB. This is 7bit! As much as I like griping about his ordering system and bullshit deadlines, his support for alternate layouts is quite unparalleled. There's a reason we still love him you know.

It's not HHKBs per se, but the Duck Viper, Gon NerD60 and several others are Cherry-MX, but have the same layout as the HHKB.

True. Except that one. I see unsplit backspace and ISO return!

Anyway, Mashby's point still stands. The HHKB layout is perfection. Of course a lot of us want it on our other boards.

Doh! Missed that one Muirium. Thanks for the catch.

There, fixed it for you.

And bullshit tastes just like steak…

Is G/ESCAPE200/BLACK a POS key?

It makes me wonder if there are indeed any 2u HONEY keys (for a single switch) with an alternate legend to "backspace", which I had previously thought to not exist.

hmm...minila shifts and numpad + and enters?

There is not explicite HHKB layout, but you should find all keys you need. If not, please let me know.

Don't forget the numpad "0"

for a more neutral approach:

BLANK/R1U200/GREY (blank key (grey) | $4)
BLANK/R2U200/GREY (blank key (grey; same as R4) | $1)
BLANK/R3U200/GREY (blank key (grey) | $1)

No, it is indeed a key to fit on the Back Space position.


Originally it was part of the long sold out HONEY/FUNMOD/BLACK kit.

Kits of the day:

HONEY/SPACE400/GREY
price: $8


HONEY/INTER/BLACK/OVR

7bit, do you mind if you add lotus set in row 3?

I got a little bit of a refund when some kits dropped in price, so I added a couple keys. Then I owed a a dollar, so I figured I'd add a little more to make it worthwhile.

And now I've more than doubled my order.

7bit is an evil genius.

anyway you could offer that !? key on its own? (HONEYB/FUNCTION in the lower right)

How do I apply? What are the requisites? I had some problems with Paypal in the past but I will have them resolved by 2016 and I also have a Google Wallet account "active".

Thanks for offereing help, but I need someone who is located in the USA.

I'm having a hard time finding the following:

• Row 2 1.5x "DELETE" or "BACK SPACE"
• Row 3 1x "FN"
• Row 3 1x "ALT"
• Row 3 1.5x "Diamond"

There's tons of R3 1U keys available in the R5 leftovers:

G/FUNCTION[1-C]/R3/GREY

Great foundation if you're a little flexible with the labeling.

Tons of 1.5u function keys in the leftovers, as well. Just ctrl+f for "150".

Thanks for all the suggestions, but the two sets that I've ordered for Round 5a are the SPH and Purple and Cream. So I'm looking for keys that best match those series.

HHKB Keys
For anyone else looking to outfit an HHKB layout on a Cherry MX board, here are the keys that you need in addition to whatever core sets you've chosen:

• Row 1
  • 1 "Vertical Backslash" 1x (match your alpha color) [link]
  • 1 "Tilde Prime" 1x (match your mod color) [link]
• Row 2
  • 1 "Delete" 1.5x
• Row 3
  • 1 "Control" 1.75x [link]
  • 1 "Shift" size 1.75x [link]
  • 1 "FN" 1x
  • 2 "Alt" 1x (two)
  • 2"Diamond" 1.5x (two)

  • 1 "FN" 1x
  • 2 "Alt" 1x (two)
  • 2"Diamond" 1.5x (two)

I assume you're still looking for the ones you don't have links for? This is how I'd do it:

One of HONEYB/MODEXTRA150/BLUE | HONEYB/MODEXTRA150/VIOLETT to get an R2 back space (delete) key;
Two of HONEYB/MODBASE100/BLUE | HONEYB/MODBASE100/VIOLETT to get two R3 alt keys and an R3 fun (fn) key;
One of HONEYB/WEBWIT150/BLUE | HONEYB/WEBWIT150/VIOLETT to get two R3 webwit (diamond) keys.

How do I get my refund on the money I paid before the prices of some of the kits dropped?

I suggest you order a space bar first and then we see how much money is left.

OK, I will add a HHKB-kit.
Delete currently exists only in WV/BFP for the HYPER7-kit.
SHIFT, CONTROL, FN and ALT are no problem.
I removed MODSYM150, because there where no orders for it.

Here we go:



Price: $19 each.


Also available:



Price: $12 each.
