Why 2 years?

group buys, shipping, manufacturing, interest in the product, lots of things

Oh gotcha! Well I'm glad you finally got it then. Looks great ππ

Congratulations, fellow Thermal-enjoyer. It has been a long wait but, at last, our watch has ended.

WoB is the exact reason I got the Moon color. The two year wait definitely killed my hype for the product though, although it's still a beautiful keyboard in the end.

I have a board being delivered tomorrow that I ordered April of 21 so I know the feel.

It looks great.
By the way... I am learning Japanese and do people really type with kanji? I thought it would be either hiragana or katakana.
Kanoa t1_jb3vjx2 wrote
Nah, those are just keycaps.
CalypsoSeaCat t1_jb3wefm wrote
No, in general people don't. You're right, you type using hiragana, and the software on your device (pc or mobile) will bring up suggested kanji for what you typed in hiragana.
While this keyboard looks really cool, and I assume it's just for aesthetics, the kanji used for the keys doesn't make much sense (ex. Hand, Moon, Bow, Rice Field, Person, Heart, Bamboo, Woman, Divination/Katakana for 'TO').
Generally Japanese keyboards will only have hiragana (γ γ¦ γ γ γͺ γ« etc, like EN has qwerty) and you can swap between hiragana and katakana like you would swap to uppercase with caps lock. Hope that makes sense.
Good luck with your studying btw!
pogodem0n t1_jb3wtsr wrote
Thanks, it makes sense.
Thanks a lot. I am learning it with Duolingo (unit 10) but I plan to start watching videos in Japanese soon.
Sl1c OP t1_jb3ww2q wrote
yeah, waited too long and the Hiragana and Katakana sets were already sold outβ¦ so kangji it was β¦
stvneads t1_jb4068m wrote
The characters on this set is not for Japanese but 'word roots' for Cangjie, a Chinese input method. So it's actually a thing, not just cool kanjis.
WikiSummarizerBot t1_jb407f4 wrote
>The Cangjie input method (Tsang-chieh input method, sometimes called Changjie, Cang Jie, Changjei or Chongkit) is a system for entering Chinese characters into a computer using a standard computer keyboard. In filenames and elsewhere, the name Cangjie is sometimes abbreviated as cj. The input method was invented in 1976 by Chu Bong-Foo, and named after Cangjie (Tsang-chieh), the mythological inventor of the Chinese writing system, at the suggestion of Chiang Wei-kuo, the former Defense Minister of Taiwan. Chu Bong-Foo released the patent for Cangjie in 1982, as he thought that the method should belong to Chinese cultural heritage.

Sorry if I came across as a bit rude π I can't blame you at all, 2 years is a hell of a long time to wait. It looks absolutely beautiful regardless, really jealous!
CalypsoSeaCat t1_jb462bz wrote
Oooh I should've figured, traditional and JPN kanji look so similar it didn't even cross my mind it might be for Chinese input, TIL!

It's nice and all but as a gamer not having that left ctrl would do my head in

Is it a heatsink keyboard?
humanplayer2 t1_jb4tqsf wrote
The keycaps, can you specify which kit the mods are from? I think it's really nice they are text only.
Maz_Baz t1_jb4ulft wrote
Thank you!
Sl1c OP t1_jb4xz14 wrote
it was Infinikey, but it seems to be discontinued
flyedchicken t1_jb4zotn wrote
Either rebind control to where caps lock is like OP has done, or use caps lock with your pinky instead of ctrl for crouching π€·π»ββοΈ
It's how I play even when I do have a left ctrl
flyedchicken t1_jb5136s wrote
That's sort of the aesthetic they were going for

humanplayer2 t1_jb513lm wrote
Ah. Thanks. I looked and couldn't find them. I have a cheap kit from Womier that's all text, and I'd like to upgrade a bit.

Totally understand that sense of feelings or emotions, especially waiting for those bloody long Groupbuys and taking the time to make sure everything is perfect when building it.
In the end it's worthwhile.
Good job and great build π

itβs my fourth HHKB layout, love it π
-ALLDAY t1_jb6gdn3 wrote
Are you a programmer perhaps? I was also intrigued by this layout. Why do you love it?
Sl1c OP t1_jb6hb3c wrote
yes, Iβm da dev. love the split backspace and split right shift for fn. Imho the best 60% layout. after a day or two youβll get used to it. Split BS is now mandatory on all my boards.
