One question I would like to ask, how does one wear away the front printing of the POM keycaps on the choc mini?
In all sincerity dude, I honestly don't know how it occurs, it just happens. I'm a very frequent keyboard user, so I use my keyboard for.. the majority of the day and some how, even though your finger oils aren't even touching the front keyprinting, it wears away and I honestly don't know why or how this happens. It happens over the course of a few weeks, you'll start to notice it, maybe some of the numpad numbers wear away and then over the course of the next couple of months it intensitifies, but this never happens to the top printing what so ever, so I really do not understand what goes on with this keyprinting.
It's hard to base all of these things on a sole person's experience. For example, you say QA for HHKB is perfect, but certain people have encountered cases that are crooked. Also, you say 9 for PBT caps. But what makes a 10? And why was one subtracted? What about the ABS spacebar? Minus a point or two for that? Points awarded because PBT hype? Because ABS caps can be high quality as well (even if most stock ones aren't).
Most of my comments are focused on the HHKB because that's the only one I read before I realized the flaws here.
Well that's it isn't it, I've seen no complaints here on the forums about peoples HHKB's, I've saw people complain about the ABS spacebar (the reason for the 9 out 10) and people praise their PBT keycaps, I've typed on the keyboard and I thought the keycaps were incredibly nice to type on, they didn't feel cheap to me what so ever.
ABS keycaps can feel nice and high quality and all that jazz, but in the majority of boards that I've used that use ABS keycaps, that just hasn't been the case for me.
Also, why do you list Topre switches by typing and gaming quality and nothing else? I think that is completely subjective, and all subjectivity should be removed if you wish this to be a true guide for people. A statement about subjectivity and personal experience should accompany.
What else is there? honestly? You either buy a keyboard for the typing experience or the gaming experience, there is nothing else, bit confused here dude.
I for one appreciate completely subjective and arbitrary scores and comments. Especially since he is stating his frame of reference (his other keyboards), and stating that they are subjective.
It's not like he is a paid reviewer, you know . He is showing us a "data point", his perspective, which I value since he tried so many keyboards.

Thanks for your comment man, I really appreciate it. I'm just trying to find a middle ground so that this as previously stated, can turn into something that people can rely on and trust when they want to go ahead and purchase their keyboards. If people want to involve themselves, then I am all for it, if people do not agree with certain aspects of what I or other people are saying, then we can talk it out and adjust and contrast and all that jazz, so that the content here is completely truthful and helpful towards the user that may potentially use this to purchase his or her next keyboard.
Would be nice to put in the FC660C/M. I personally feel that they are of very good quality, heavy plates and no failures that I have heard of, PBT and all (with dye-subs on one edition).
Yeah man definitely, if someone has the time to write something up about this if you've owned one, then that'd be awesome. I've never owned one personally, so I cannot speak on this behalf, but a lot of others may be able to do so.
