I've tried so many styles of keyboard over the years and nothing has ever made me feel as 'at one with the computer' as the HHKB Pro 2.
It's so close to perfect. Typing feels amazing, it has a really pleasing 'thunk' if you bottom out, the CTRL key is in the correct position, it's almost symmetrical and everything's within reach. When used with a suitable wrist rest I can type for hours on end without complaint.
Worth every penny.
Additionally, I've seen "pimped" versions of the HHKB and it's honestly ridiculous. Why take something beautiful and minimalist and have weird-shaped keys?
- gnulinux 8y agoIs it programmable? I don't suppose programmability is absolutely necessary since I use emacs and so "everything is programmable" but still, while I'm updating my keyboard from shitty MacBook Pro keyboard, I might as well get something programmable.
- petepete 8y agoNot programmable. Programmability isn't something I care for in a keyboard. I understand it's a must for some people though, it's a good thing that there's plenty of choice these days.
- jaxtellerSoA 8y agoLookup up your beloved HHKB Pro 2. The placement of the backslash key alone is enough for me to say "No fucking way" to ever even trying that thing.
