You mean this review??  :)

xsphat:
That would be the one. What do you think of it?

iMav:

--- Quote from: xsphat ---So is it worth it? No. For the same price, way better keyboards can be found. The SMK 85 with Alps switches costs similar to this, and it has the best switches I've ever felt.

It seems to me that you'd be much better served selling the HHKB Pro 2 and Lite 2 and buying a couple more SMK85's.  You'd be ahead of the game financially and you'd have severals 'boards with, what you deem, "the best switches" you've ever felt.  

Having had my Model M mini for a while now...I would trade my HHKB Pro in for a couple more of these (new, of course) in a heart beat.  Fortunately, it seems we will have a Model M mini / Endura Pro hybrid sometime in 2008 which may prove to be my favorite in the long run.

xsphat:
There is something about the layout of the HHKB keyboards that I love. Now, make me an HHKB with the Alps switches and would be in heaven. But for now, I am keeping the HHKBs at my desks and the SMK 85 close at hand for when I need it. I do love the Pro 2, that may never change, so don't make my choose  :(

xsphat:
I think I may have been a little hard on the Lite 2 in my review. It's wierd, but it seems to be growing on me. I really can't explain it, because with all the great keyboards I have, it is far from the best, but it has something I can't quite put my finger on that I really like. I'll see if I can figure itn out and I'll get back to you.
