"That is the tiniest keyboard!"

About my HHKB, which is the same size as the Apple Wireless keyboard  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Keyboards are basically like your Internet job, so it's okay.

In reference to HHKB at work: "What's with the tiny, old-fashioned keyboard?"

Oh yeah, another one:

Why do you have that old [SSK] keyboard connected to your new iMac?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I brought my Hasu Bluetooth modded HHKB out to work at coffeeshops sometimes and have gotten much stares/comments on it. From last week: "Wow, are you typing on two keyboards?!", "That second keyboard is sooo tiny!"

LOL at typing on two keyboards.
That's something I'll consider doing at work just to **** with my coworkers. I only take a 68% to work. My boss hates it. "It's too noisy" "Why is it so stiff?"  He swears by rubber domes.

No specific funny comments, I can think of. Just admiration and curiosity at its size by almost anyone who sees it. This keyboard got at least one or two coworkers into the keyboard hobby. Not geekhack OCD hobby, but hobby nonetheless.

I think I have some pbt doubleshots I got off massdrop on them right now. I should really put the penumbra SA caps back on it, it was really striking with those. Pun intended.

That's a cool board! I really like the case  :thumb:

People look at that and know that you don't mess around with your text entry, lol.
