Been using an HHKB for half a decade as well as the trusty lenovo W520 keyboard, both have served me well.
Recently started visiting GH again, which was probably a bad idea for my wallet.

Don't let your wallet become comfortable with you being here, so begin immediately teaching her who the boss is by getting in as many buys as possible.

I really want to try one of these. Big fan of the layout. Never tried a Topre board before.

Right now I've been using my Logitech G910. I had pretty much exclusively used my Poker II, but my wife has needed to use my PC and she doesn't like the blank caps.

Got mine in a recent trade, first topre board as well and to be honest I was a little skeptical. But as soon as I started typing on it all skepticism was lost. I wouldn't hesitate to get this board again.

Hmmmmm...I may have three keyboards already..but I guess I may just have to get one of these FC660C to complete the set

Going through my first day at work with ultralight (62g Korean gold) vintage mx blacks and loving it! They're like a direct connection between the brain and the terminal. Typing is so effortless and you can feel a gentle raise in pressure under the fingers before bottoming out so it's actually quite easy to type without pressing all the way to the bottom. I also tried to switch to my other keyboards and those are the thoughts:
1) Filco with Gateron Blacks feels hard. keycaps are PBT though so it may be part of the reason. It feels cold and hard, debounces quicker but also due to different force slope on those switches it's actually easier to bottom out. They're also a bit scratchier.
2) Model M feels as tactile as never, and surprisingly not that heavy at all, but it feels very scratchy especially on modifiers. This is weird because it always felt as smooth as my Topre, better than MX Blue Filco I have.
3) Filco with MX Blue feels very heavy and tactile. Kind of weird, feels heavier than IBM but less tactile, funny

4) Topre 55G feels almost impossible to press, so heavy. Possibly due to all resistance being on top. After overcoming this initial resistance it crashes my fingers on bottom. I can feel this is where my RSI pains are coming from. Hard bottoming out on the plate of RealForce

I doubt I will be able to use this keyboard in near future. After typing one minute speedtest, pain in my fingers was already killing me. I do appreciate its low profile, super nice keycaps (I've got the PBT spacebar for it), thock and super smooth key action, but still. It hurts me

Topre KeyKollectiv Snackeys just came in today so I'm using my HHKB! Though I just put Hyperfuse on my Poker II so it's been hard to decide which one I want to type on. It's nice having the option between cherry and topre.

Yeah, to me it looks like a good compromise between TKL and 60%. What are the two buttons in the top right hand corner for? I have never bothered to look it up.

A couple of weeks ago Newegg had a deep discount in the Logitech G710, so I grabbed one. I'm liking it quite a lot. I haven't thought of a use for the macro keys yet, tho. In all, it's a pretty nice keyboard for the fifty bucks I paid.

Best buy also had the sale, but only for a weeken. I tried one of these at walmart just recently and it's probably my favorite 'cherry blue' type board. If it was $30 I might be tempted.

Not a bad board. I picked one up myself with Gateron blacks a while back. I went with the white case and mint green side-printed keycaps. It looks really nice but I don't like the fact that it's Windows-only and non-programmable.

Hmm, mine's plugged in at work to a dumb terminal, so therefore Linux. Never tried it on OSX, but if it works on Linux, chances are...

Here's the bastardized Novatouch I'm currently using (bought it from a GHer cheap, as its missing the top half of the case):

Mixture of Topre and Novatouch MX sliders. HHKB alphas, Cherry POM everything else, minus the artisan caps. And the PBT spacebar from... my Pok3r I believe.

Logitech K800

It's arguably a great keyboard (apart from not being ErgoDox). The backlight is much much better than anything MX-compatible can dream of, and these particular Perfect Stroke scissor switches with spherical keycaps feel awesome… bottoming out isn't particularly harsh either. I just wish it wasn't fullsize. Obviously, I could switch to one of the more compact models (such as K810, TK820 which I actually have too, or K830), but those have shorter travel and harsher landing for some reason.

I think I'll like it better with a silencing mod.

The caps are interesting and definitely will take getting used to, they feel weird.

It's oddly light and I'm thinking a 55g mod would have been worthwhile but I already sold those boards.

So far I'm undecided.

This is my 3rd full size Topre board and they also have tkl sized boards and separate number pads.

So far this one feels lighter to me.

I've always wanted to try that keyboard so bad. It just seems like it would be the ultimate work horse keyboard. My experience with SA profile caps is they always make the keyboard sound and feel better. It probably feels slightly lighter too because of the heavier caps. Hnnnggg. I must try some day. I know that if I am ever required a keyboard for an office, it'd be that or a silenced uniform 45g Realforce fullsize.
