[WTB-UK] Topre 30g rubber domes & purple sliders

Thorogrimm · 08 Jul 2023, 15:02

Afternoon.
I'm on the lookout for some 30g Topre domes for my HHKB, as well as a full set of 90+ silent purple sliders.

Any offers would be appreciated!

Sounds like taste to me. The only good HHKB is a silenced HHKB, in my book, and after my second NIB experience I’m curious about those 30g domes as well. A variable weighted Realforce is no good home for them!

This would take care of most of what you need. Not sure if it’s in your budget though

Eeeh, not quite. But thanks for recommending

Oh yeah, 100%. I've been using a Niz 35g keyboard these past few months, and while I REALLY like it and the lighter weighting, I have a perfectly usable HHKB that I've had stored away and thought 30g domes would benefit it.

Niz? Quietly rescinds the thing I said about good taste.

Lol, despite what you may have heard this particular one is actually really nice. Sliders feels smooth, stabilizers are pre-lubed, double shot caps, and soft linear-like keyfeel. However.. I definitely want that oomph of Topre's famed cup rubber

It's the domes—and therefore the feel—I’m most focussed on. Also a real stickler for Helvetica dyesubs, and the HHKB is my Gold Standard Layout, which every other board is weighed against—or converted to, when I can!—so it's a hard, hard contest to come at the King.

Yep, the ultimate layout IMO would be the Sun unix full-size layout
