Hi guys I'm new here so don't troll me too hard
I've spent a few days browsing this forum looking for some opinions on the HHKB Lite 2. Basically the consensus seems to be that it is an absolute piece of ****.
Here's the bottom line.
I'm a programmer and I do alot of typing (touch-typist), but I never really have had what most of you would consider a quality keyboard. I'm currently using one of those new scissor-switch aluminum apple wired keyboards (without numpad). This thing feels like a godsend compared to what I was previously used to using (logitech $10 - $30 keyboards).
My question is despite the bad reviews this thing has garnered, is it better than what I'm using now or what I'm used to? Will I notice a significant difference (that justifies spending the money) in typing comfort?
HHKB Pro 2 is absolutely out of the question. I realize that it is a quality keyboard but I'm also a college student and well there's your answer.
Also I should note I use gnu+linux and I'm pretty fond of vim/emacs (layout on hhkb is great, even though it's possible to remap any keyboard the same way
) so that is the main reason why i'm looking at this keyboard.
