Looks just as good as expected and the wait time was pretty short, getting a replacement key for the missing ‘ "

    Oh hey! Nice to see a GMK BLOT out in the wild ❤️

    We were super surprised by the wait times. We almost did not believe it when we were first getting the set design.

    Whats the point of system less (or in this case, control less) keyboards? I mean i couldn’t work that way, so i would be delighted if someone shed some light on that.

      Yes you could work that way, that’s why the layout is popular - because it’s a good layout.

      However true HHKB layout (6u spacebar) is even better because it places the two mod keys on the right of the spacebar closer. If the HHKB had 2x 3u spacebar instead of 6u it would be even better.

      I’ve used a HHKB layout board since 2007 or so and only recently I bought my first non-HHKB board because I really want to try the Type-K alice. So I got a cheap keychron V8 used to ready for the Type-K.

      However, even the Type-K has way too many keys for me (it really annoys me when the board extends past the leftmost edge of the main cluster because I aim for Esc by my pinky drifting off the board, if that makes sense), so I’m eagerly awaiting someone makes a true HHKB tented alice with the type-k refinements of the layout.

          That’s what I suspect, but the Type-K just looks so good and I also want to enjoy my desk on an aesthetic level :-P

          I know I’m delaying the inevitable, but so be it lol

    Love it, those runic sub legends hit different. It’s like GMK Norse’s evil twin.
