Hi everyone,
I'm new, so if I'm asking questions that have been raised before, please forgive me yep. I did a few searches already before asking, so ya.
1:
From what I understand, the Pro 2 only has one function key on the right (while the Lite 2 has 2 function keys). Is this limiting functionality? Or is it fine? I'm referring to the Fn key, by the way.
2:
Are the keys shaped in a way that you can rearrange them easily?
I read about the angle/contour/curvature on their website, but I'm still not sure. I'm using a DVORAK layout and I like it. Of course, if I get keys with blank keycaps, it wouldn't matter, would it? Still, I'm curious.
3:
Using another keyboard layout doesn't affect function keys functionality right?
Function keys are hardware level? Not at software keyboard layout level? Meaning the functions occur when I press the Fn key.
4:
I read HHKB cleaning thread. Is it really easy to clean the keyboard? Is there a tutorial here or is it just as simple as a few screws and off you go?
5:
Also, about the cleaning, the black color fades away? What about the white keyboard, anyone has experience the white colour turning yellowish?
Or what's the maintenance practice to keep this from happening?
6:
How did you get your keyboard? I did a few searches and came up with:
http://www.geekstuff4u.com/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=USD&products_id=346http://benippon.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=11464I'm located in Singapore, Asia. (though I'm in USA now for vacation..) So technically I should have more choices right? Haha. Any others like me?
I'm considering the Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro 2 because of the feel. I read a lot about the keyboard feel being very comfortable. Plus the layout does make sense, though I'm not sure what to make of the fact that it only has one Fn key.
I'm a programmer on Mac and I use TextMate, QuickSilver. Any comments on using the keyboard with these? I could also run another thread for it.
