Finally got my hands on a #topre keyboard. If anyone has any tips for anywhere that sells Topre compatible keycaps do let me know. They seem pretty impossible to find

My current temporary desktop setup: #HappyHackingKeyboard Professional 2 (electrostatic capacitive #Topre switches) with #Domikey #Orange #Dolch #doubleshot #keycaps

Edit: Just noticed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Hacking_Keyboard that the #HHKB Pro 2 is now 20 years old — released in March 2006 — and the HHKB in general nearly 30 years, released in December 1996.

I've tested hundreds of keyboards and the 20-year-old classic Das Keyboard has held up better than any - how do modern ones compare?

I just found out about KeyCon, a mechanical keyboard convention happening in DC tomorrow.

I would 100% be there if it weren't for the ridiculous birthday parade clusterf*cking up the city. They picked the wrong day for this thing.

Always a good day when you do some meditative bodge work. Testing a #topre #Keyboard prototype for a friend.

On the hardware side of my dev setup I made 2 changes:

Switched from #Realforce TKL keyboard to #HHKB Pro Hybrid Type-S. Those #topre switches are endgame, and while I had the same ones in the Realforce, the overall feel of HHKB, its layout, size, weight, feels great. It forced me to start using ctrl in caps-lock position due to its layout, which is something I wanted to try in the past but never had enough will. Should have done this earlier, because it feels great.

I must say I’m not terribly impressed with these #Topre keyswitches.

I made a one key #Topre macropad/ornament #keyboard for a secret Santa that was happening on a discord server I'm a part of:
* Onboard samd21
* Two layer, 1.2mm PCB with rails that fits in the cheap JLC 100mm x 100mm size.
* Basic EC circuit, no need for amux with just one key
* Switch plate is reversible to make it a snowflake on both sides.
* Runs @zmk / @zephyr
