Things I don't like, also
[honest review from Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/HHKB/comments/xmcbkq/comment/j1625fy):
2023-05-31 17:25:47 +00:00
2023-08-05 18:56:25 +00:00
- The sides don't have any gaskets, so the keys on the far left and right bend
down more. They will pop out of the hotswap PCB or the plate if pressing too
hard.
2023-07-10 08:26:03 +00:00
- PCB:
- Not all keys are **South facing**.
2023-08-05 18:56:25 +00:00
- Can not config RGB per key for real. Only support RGB mode switching.

## Keycap
2023-08-05 18:56:25 +00:00
Currently, I use Akko 9009 Cherry Profile and EnjoyPBT 9009 Cherry Profile. The
space of EnjoyPBT 9009 is not straight so I use Akko 9009 space.
2023-06-24 16:07:42 +00:00
I know I know, I love 9009 color too much.
2023-07-27 03:01:49 +00:00
Be careful:
2023-07-06 06:55:10 +00:00
- Check if keycap with stab (space, enter, shifht) is straight or not.
- Check is keycap is tight on switch or not.
2023-07-02 17:57:16 +00:00
