>tfw you're so deep into justifying having spent 220 bucks on rubber domes that you pretend to ironically shitpost on a malaysian basket weaving tutorial p2p network even though deep inside you're actually serious but you can't admit it to yourself so you just pretend to be sarcastic until you can't tell the multitude of layers of irony from the truth edition
a spanish guy is selling is white blank hhkb for 180€ plus shipping, barely used.
You'd save on custom taxes, if you get any there.
Landon Jones
No one wants HHKB. Go away Dr Dre
Anthony Hall
but I'm dr dre
Anthony Lopez
Where? I might be interested. (Though I'd really prefer a new one, and besides, I'd still have to get the colored caps to match)
Samuel Thomas
deskthority marketplace.
warning: it's from 2012 and the white case yellowed a bit
Austin Cooper
Some people do want HHKB, but then again, I already buy overpriced anime figurines, this is just a natural extension of my quest for cute aesthetics I suppose.
Lucas Martinez

Luis Harris
>yellowed plastic in 2012, after only 4 years Well, nobody told me /that/ bit about this keyboard. Is it because he kept it on the surface of the sun or because of lower quality plastic than expected?
Liam Miller
Who gives a fuck, no keyboards should yellow.
Easton Watson
>>Well, nobody told me /that/ bit about this keyboard it's abs plastic.
mine started yellowing and it has a year.
pic related, a hhkb1 with many moons on her back
Christopher Gutierrez
Like the BTC 5100, which clearly doesn't yellow, ever?
>a year That's absolutely ridiculous in 2016, by which we have methods of protecting plastic from fast yellowing.
Yes, but that's for old hardware. I think we have made progress in ensuring white plastic doesn't yellow anywhere near as quickly from the 90s on - or, at least, I heard we have.
Connor Myers
retards will always exist
Oliver Rivera
BTC's are fucking OLD, HHKB's are not. Retard
Samuel Peterson
>not going for vintage points
Jason Hall
>I already buy overpriced anime figurines my man
though admittedly, none of these were more than 15 bucks.
Jeremiah Bennett
>Who gives a fuck, no keyboards should yellow. >Except old keyboards, which are allowed by law to yellow. Then stop using hyperbole to sound more confident and smarter than you actually are.

Liam Morales

fucking heretic
Angel Nelson
Even my old rubber domes don't yellow that bad, and one of them is from 1992
Eli Bennett

Samuel Sanders
I'm not going to say no to some mediocre character if they're in a plugsuit and that size for only 900 yen
Liam Jones
stay mad
Brody Edwards
The HHKB 1 used an ABS case, but the Pro 2 uses a PBT case so it should yellow a lot less. Searching around shows that most HHKB Pro 2 users don't complain about yellowing, even after a few years of usage.
Leo Powell
post figurines with keyboards
Bentley Murphy
>the Pro 2 uses a PBT case source
Luke Brown
Oh, apparently I was wrong. Deskthority lists it as ABS on the Professional JP, which probably also means it's ABS on the Pro 2.
Carson Cruz
Perfectly reasonable for keyboards to yellow over 20 odd years, but 4 YEARS? FUCK NO LOL.
Christopher Bailey
I'm not the one with a yellow case. Besides my model M still looks great and its from 1988. Though right now I'm using a ducky keyboard for those sweet macros
Blake Thomas
Generally, yellowing of ABS plastic depends on condition. You can easily find the same keyboard massively yellowed and not yellowed at all. He might have kept it in extreme conditions, for all we know.
...Is there any keyboard with a white plastic non-ABS case, anyway?
Sebastian Cruz
>He might have kept it in extreme conditions
spain = sun
if he has a desk in front of a window, it's very easy to yellow it in 4 years.
Austin Reyes
Indeed - which is why keyboards kept in office environments (aka. typically) don't yellow anywhere near as much. We cannot treat an outlier as the rule.
Jonathan Russell
Posting my IBM Model M SSK with Model F internals!!
Anthony Gray
Keyboard makers put coatings on their keyboards to prevent the yellowing, but those coatings aren't smooth and glossy so for aesthetic reasons they don't include them
Thomas Hall
>Besides my model M still looks great and its from 1988.
model m case is pbt
my 1988 Golf looks great, it's metal hurrr
Asher Gonzalez
Is the HHKB case UV-coated? I can't find any information about it.
Hudson Scott
dude, it will yellow.
William Adams
no its made from PVC
Chase Nelson
Would recommend anyone do this mod btw if they love the feel of a model F but hate the layout. It's basically a Model F inside a Model M SSK TKL case. You can make it using an old full sized model M so you don't have to sacrifice your original SSK internals!
Chase White
Genius! Its genius and I'll do it.
Oh mah gawd, it's literally perfect. And I'm going to use rubber domes and all you will be able to do is cry.
It's so fucking perfect.
Brandon Thompson
thats a terrible analogy since there are other cars from 1988 that are made of metal and look better
Owen Sanchez
ok grandpa
Caleb Brooks

Zachary Gutierrez
Are they still selling those kits, or all they all gone
Austin Wright
All gone now unfortunately, however this one was a DIY. Still waiting on the production of my SSK kit. Enjoy your yellowed HHKB LMAO
