Editing Talk:HHKB Professional (section)

==== Silencing modification ====
The silencing modification is one of the most popular modifications for HHKB Professional owners despite the fact that PFU has already released the HHKB Pro Type-S series. Currently, Type-S series are not only expensive but are limited to certain variants (such as no charcoal gray JP Type-S). Silencing modification for Topre switches is done by placing a material (usually soft) in the bottom of the slider. This thereby prevents the notable "thock" sound on the upstroke when the key is released.

There are two types of silencing modifications available:
* Rubber band mod: By means of using dental bands.
* Foam mod: Cutting out foams in a similarly styled shape as rubber band. Type-S series allegedly uses foam for silencing HHKB Pro Type-S series.
