I have the happy hacking keyboard professional 2. It's fantastic. The reason the [fn] key is positioned off, and it's hard to get at the arrow keys, is because the HHKB was specifically designed to make it hard to use the arrow keys, as they are a curse. (stay on Home Row). There are alternatives, hjkl for vim and or CONTROL-... for emacs dudes and dudettes.
- tbe 14y agoThe one thing I don't love about my HHKB is its lack of dedicated F-keys. Any suggestions for a good alternative?
- snogglethorpe 14y agoYup, the HHKB is a sparkling gem in a landscape littered with garbage. And for those of you without lots of money, the low-priced HHKB-lite models are also very nice (they have the same great layout and design, but more pedestrian components). [I have two HHKB-lites, one from the '90s, another bought a few years ago (the former still working flawlessly). In the landscape of computing, where most things seem obsolete overnight, it's also rather amazing that the HHKB has managed to stay in production for so long ... although it's clearly a bit of a niche product, it's been around in mostly the same form factor since the mid-90s! They're clearly doing something right!]
