I re-built my HHKB pro classic with a wireless PCB (Yang HFKB) and spare parts!

Unfortunately I don’t have a spacebar in the right size so I can’t use it quite yet D:

Specs in the thread

Re-built my velvet pro:
- Aluminum plate POM plate
- Raed long pole linears TTC frozen V2 silent linears
- CRP keycaps Mars Cadet keycaps

The TTC silent feel great on this board. Modded durock shrimps are my favorite silent switch but I don’t have the patience to make another set of them so I guess the TTC’s will have to do lol.

feeling kinda edgy with this thumbnail idk

it sounds #mechanicalkeyboards

looks better than new now

It got a big glow up:
- metal case
- old keycaps I salvaged from a realforce 91u
- cleaned and re-lubricated all the internals

This was the donor board. A bunch of the keys were cracked and the back of the case was murked up. It was made in 2011, and the domes feel really really nice. Way less mushy than the domes in my 2024 hhkb hybrid.

spending my saturday morning re-housing a for-parts HHKB I got from mercari

yea it lives

Ok it turned on I guess I just needed to reset and reflash the firmware ☉ ͜ʖ ☉

It doesn’t work
I think I got a dead pcb lol I didn’t test it before soldering it…

…but it looks cool!

Built a keyboard today! This one didn’t come as a kit so I had to source the parts independently. I hope it works!
