HHKB Professional 2 (https://www.hhkeyboard.com/uk/products/pro2/ https://www.hhkeyboard.com/uk/products/pro2/). Likes: It's the best, most reliable 60% keyboard I've found, and that's the size I strongly prefer. It's very compact, it's comfortable, and the layout of keys that are often weird on 60% layouts (e.g. arrows, tilde) are sensible. I've tried a number of other 60% models and they all either had lousy layout decisions or just weren't very reliable (I had two KBParadise V60s have certain keys start to fail in < 1 yr). Both my HHKBs are going strong after several years. Dislikes: Topre switches are... fine. Way better than most membrane keyboards, but I would prefer proper mechanical Cherry or Gateron switches. (If you like the mechanical feel but not noise, you may very well like Topres, FWIW.) You probably saw the other recent thread about mechanical keyboards at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26989563 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26989563 - a lot of the comments there match my experience. There's cool stuff in the mechanical keyboard community, but there's also a lot of unreasonable pricing and small-batch manufacturing with less-than-reliable quality/consistency. I sort of pigeonholed myself by developing a strong preference for a 60% layout - there are a lot more options out there for larger keyboards. But once I decided that it was 60% or bust, HHKB became the natural choice. It's the only keyboard of this general form factor I've found that is basically a commodity, meaning 1) I'm confident of what I'm getting when I buy it, 2) the price is reasonable and 3) I'm also confident the company will still be around and making a similar product in 5-10 years if I need to buy another one.
