****tttttt

should i get hhkb pro jp from jwaz's proxy for $300 or wait for CM topre? Or stay on the path of MX and buy a raindrop set? Choices choices choices

So you are going to cancel?

[rowdy]

So does anyone actually HATE their HHKB?

Or just think that it is kinda meh.  Or "just another keyboard"?

I am perfectly allowed to cancel. Saying I will buy something then cancelling it is perfectly okay because my statement saying I will buy it is not legally binding.

And to answer your question I don't know if I will cancel yet

[Beca]

I've gone through a few cherry mx boards already and still looking for that perfect switch. even though overall i've probably spent more than $300 on keyboards so far, I can't justify purchasing an HHKB or a topre unless i can try them out and know they will be my endgame keyboard.

i love the clack sound of a key bottoming, so here's to hoping my incoming ergo clear board will be the end.

That's the whole point of this thread. If 9/10 people who had a HHKB loves it, you can be sure you will love it. So why waste money on MX boards???

meh, i don't think i would love it THAT much to be satisfied with it as my only keyboard. i like blue switches as well, which the HHKB doesn't really fulfill in terms of tactility/clicks.

Hell no, I'm enjoying the crap out of mine.

Then we're perfectly ok to make fun of you for being a perfectly impetuous brat.  Besides, isn't $300 more than your allowance?

Legally speaking, yes you can make fun of me. But personal attacks are against the rules for the forums, so on geekhack you can't.

And like I said before, I have no allowance. I earn all my money myself through classifieds trades and other sources

That actually isn't correct.  If you actually agree to buying it (which you've now said you did in another post) you have a legal binding agreement..now whether or not they'd be willing to pursue that (I doubt) is another issue. 

Not sure where people get the impression they can commit to buying and then back out like it is nothing...but you see it a lot on GH..

Except there's no attack in calling you a spoiled brat when it's plain logic.  It's also not a personal attack to make fun of a repeated action. I'm assuming I'm one of those "other sources".  Stupidest nice thing I've done on geekhack right there.

People will just get to the point where they ignore any financial dealings with him as they should.

Because it's easier to move on than press the issue over keyboard stuff, which in the end, are minor things.

[adhoc]

The legal side isn't important, what you should be worried about is your reputation. You are walking down the road where noone will want to trade with you anymore.

[rowdy]

This is HHKB hate (if such a thing exists) thread.

Perhaps someone should start a Pacifist Hate thread in Off Topic, if they really want to continue this?

Clearly, it doesn't exist in a true form, only troll.

I did think about changing the title of my posts, though.  That did seem like a step too far, if I'm honest.

[Polymer]

Right.   I know why people don't pursue it.  It just isn't worth the time and effort to try to enforce something like that...

But when someone says there isn't some legal commitment in their defense of backing out of a deal....that is just absolutely wrong.  Obviously this only applies to certain countries..

i see

the reason why i had to cancel was because in the first place, I made half assed posts saying I want the item to reserve it.
Why did i do that? Other people were doing it, and I got screwed over by that. For example, the reason why you all call me the canceller is because I reordered a bid on a julysicle that was cancelled previously after seeing signature cancel his own order. If signature and everybody else on GH kept their word, then I wouldn't have to cancel. Another reason why I cancel is because I used to just say can you reserve this for me. nobody accepts Reservations as genuine offers esp when someone else trys to buy it the next day. When i was trying to get a numpad, I told john to reserve it, but he just sold it to a different person the next day even though I told him that i reserved it. And then other people told me that I can just do a order but then cancel it if I don't want it. So that's what I did.

So the whole reason why I cancel **** is because other people cancel too. If nobody in GH cancelled their orders, then everything would be fine and dandy. But people still cancel their orders, and it has gone to the point that it is acceptable to cancel and thus I do.

I wish I bought a HHKB, just so I can whine and whinge about it here........  .  It could also go the other way and drop everything related to CherryMX within my house-hold, dammit not taking that chance.

Absolutely refuse to become a THORPIE addict.......again.

[Belfong]

I'm just glad we are back on-topic. And so, my conclusion is that there's just too much love over HHKB vs hate and if you are a new member and is wondering what keyboard to get, and we know there's just so many Filco vs Ducky (or CM or whatever), just forget the Filco and Ducky. HHKB is your answer!

Any hate for HHKB are over minute stuff like the name, the logo, the fact that rowdy had one Clack on it (damn, that made me jelly!!) and other inconsequential excuses just to bash HHKB. That keyboard is your end game, new GH member. Just buy it!!!

And while you are at it, please get the Type-S. I wish I was wiser!!!

[do_Og@n]

I couldn't get used to the layout. I wouldn't say I hate it but I wouldn't buy it again. Other than the Topre switch itself the only thing I liked about it was the built in USB hub.

If only the F660C had better keycaps and a built in USB. But it doesn't feel AMAZING!

[Awful]

I tried to hate mine (ask Dustin ha) but now if I try to type on my reds or brown board... they feel like doodie. In fact, I'll probably get rid of my all mx stuff.

[Pacifist]

staph making me want topre....

I just need to sell my mx stuff and then raise a bit more money by the 25th for the $300 type-s....

[HipsterPunks]

And while you are at it, please get the Type-S. I wish I was wiser!!!

Was looking at the type S but couldn't justify an extra $140 for a fix a couple orings could solve

I started getting into mechanical keyboards in the summer of 2009 when I bought my first legit keyboard, the HHKB Pro 2. White/gray no legends. (Before the "silent" models existed which I think are over priced for what it is) It was and still is, the most minimalistic and chic keyboard money can buy. I used it for about one month before curiosity got the best of me and I ordered a first gen Filco Majestouch ten keyless with MX Blues, again, with blank keys, 'twas called the Otaku version from EK.

At that time in GH, group buys started up, keycap orders from SP, etc. I then started to find much more functionality in the MX keyboards as the switches are easily replaced and there are different keycap options as most are cheap and readily available. A Filco ten-keyless board also have a quick and easy to find arrow cluster, a function row, and a familiar layout. After loving the MX blues, I wanted to try browns, (they were becoming a fad then, everyone wanted brown switch boards) So for 7bit's group buy number 3 from SP, I ordered an MX Brown filco ten-keyless, matched all my function keys with keycaps that had legends that correspond to custom shortcuts/macros in OSX.

Long story short, I have a HHKB pro 2 in the closet, and two filco ten-keyless boards in my recording studio setup even though I bought the HHKBP2 first. I enjoy having multiple keyboards, for multiple uses.

I'd recommend newcomers get about 2-4 boards with different features to quench your keyboard thirst and find out what you like.

[hasu]

USB Hub is superfluous to HHKB.

I had a question mark - it was a leading question

[adhoc]

Why would a type s be better than pro series? I don't get it, it's already silent as-is, coming off from mx blues. Why would I want it to be even more silent

[Puddsy]

Coming from any other MX switch, it's about even.

which is technically loud.

[Travellerr]

Has there been anyone who bought a HHKB 2 and dislike and shelfed it? It's beginning to grow on me after 2 months and I'm already wondering what I'm going to do with all those MX boards I have.

If I started my mech adventure knowing that Topre is my destiny, imagine the amount of dollars I would have saved.

Thus, I'm curious as to the percentage of people who ended up hating or disliking it. We have many Topre and HHKB love threads. Is there one who dislike it and this let is hear your voice.

And if you are thinking of buying a mech and if you knew that Topre is the end game for many and no one ever regret it, then it's a no brainier for new member to jump directly to HHKB, isn't it? Yeah, it's more expensive but so is owning multiple Cherry variants.

+1 ^.  I've been saying this for like a year or more.  HHKB Pro 2.  Hmm, maybe the name is the problem.  What if it was called the HHKB Newb 1?   

lol, I believe that is a very legit renaming sir. I don't know if I would like it or not, I am sure I would, because I do love the Leopold fc660c.

No way that topre switches are as loud as blue...

That's not what he's saying. He's saying that topres are as loud as any non-clicky MX switch -- e.g. reds, blacks, browns, clears

HHKB is the quietest thing I've heard.. Sounds like rain drops..

[Puddsy]

Whipped out the HHKB to test it vs reds and browns.

I'm wrong, it is quieter.

[cinnamoncider]

I haven't owned one.

I just hated it for its hefty price tag. But I guess that's what status symbols are for. It's just some god damn rubber domes with springs beneath it. I'm really curious on why it reaches that certain price. Also, if you have a huge collection of keycaps for MX switches - it gives you the hassle to customize or buy other key caps just to put some bling on your topre keyboard.

Other than that - I just love its aesthetics 

I just wish that there's a keyboard with cherry switches that has this kind of layout. I'll definitely buy one.

Woah. I think you're right. I did a quick search and resulted into this: http://www.kbdmania.net/xe/index.php?mid=photo&page=4&document_srl=5441326 and a thread from here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34959.0.
