[Typing Test] HHKB Professional 1 - PD-KB300

Finally managed to get my hands on the elusive HHKB Professional 1 in ivory. The board is in pretty good condition considering that it's 20 years old with no cracks and severe scratches. However, it is really yellowed, probably from the previous owner being a heavy smoker. The domes feel insanely tactile, HHKB domes are 45g but these feel to be 60g-70g with how tactile they are. My fingers are not strong enough to daily drive this.

👀👍!
that yellowing is crazy, and those aged domes being so tactile that you can't daily drive them is insane!
any thoughts of modding it in any way?

[@lucasweewee]

gonna keep this as is! i think the unmodded aspect of it shows its age off well

[@aj4123]

pretty sure the case just yellows like that over time due to its makeup and exposure to uv. maybe they were a smoker but most ivory pro 1 and older pro 2 cases begin to yellow

[@lucasweewee]

previous owner was definitely a smoker. its way too yellowed to be normal. i've had a couple of yellow pro 2's in the past but nothing even close to how yellow this is
