HHKB2 Review

[longweight]

Hi all,

I have reviewed my HHKB2 on my site complete with typing video

Any feedback on the images and text would be fantastic.

The HHKB isn't plate mounted, also calling the layout "crazy" isn't the best. Other than that, one of the best reviews I had read on the HHKB.

Nice review. I would like to point out that the image of the switch internals is wrong.
That's the image Topre use to show the difference between it's switch and a standard rubberdome switch.

Comments on websites shouldn't have to await "moderation"

Is this image ok? I didn't want to use EK's image without asking...



Fossala I have removed the word crazy, you are right that it is the wrong word.

I get about 15 spam comments a day at the moment but I will change the comment settings now.

How would you describe the mounting of the switches in the body?

[002]

There's no real term for how they are mounted (that I'm aware of anyway). On a traditional mechanical keyboard, the alternative is that the switch is directly mounted onto the PCB with no plate, but Topre is a little different.

If anything I would probably call them 'plate moulded/molded'

Also, I don't think you'd have any problems using that image.
It's also on Topre's website here: http://www.topre.co.jp/e/products/comp/key_point.html

Thanks 002 I have updated it

I have also put my K60 review up: http://www.key-bored.net/corsair-k60/

Your reviews seem good, keep it up!

[longweight]

Thank you I've really been enjoying it its great to get feedback so that I can improve!

Would more internal shots of keyboards be interesting?

[fossala]

I find them interesting anyway. They seem to be well written and with good pictures.

Great! I'm running out of things to review now!

Added typing test video to the K60, sorry about the poor sound but it gets the differences across quite well in my mind
