Do Starcraft players use the Insert key a lot?

What does the FC660C feel like compared to the HHKB?  What about compared to a Realforce?

Only if they're cheating.

It was similar to the Realforce 45g but different with the HHKB Pro2 (45g).

The FC660c sounds more solid than the HHKB to me.

Only just noticed that it is your video. Thanks for providing!
Depending on what price they become available at over here (UK), I might have to pick one up. Using a type-s at the moment and I really like the HHKB layout so still unsure on the FC660C

A lot of common Starcraft hacks use the Insert key as a primary control button-- for instance, to toggle map-hack vision state.

Can you make a comparison with the RF45g as well?

I'm sorry. I can't make a comparison with the RF45G, because I don't have it now. Even though I don't have the Realforce 45 I can be convinced that the feel on the FC660C is very similar to the Realforce 45g because of its same structure of the switch with the RF 45g.

I really feel they screwed up big time with the island for insert/delete. That wasted space is so frustrating.

I think that's the best part! It's a novelty key holder!

I agree, I like the space, just like on a tenkeyless. Cramming two columns would make it harder to blindly hit delete.

Thanks for pics, very informative.

Surprisingly this board has Fujitsu controller with programmable flash memory unlike HHKB has one time program chip.

Thank you so much for this! I was so curious about the interior of this keyboard and captivate switches!

Thanks for the video. My 660 is set to show up soon enough, and i cant wait. I was wondering if I made the right choice, when choosing between the 660 and the HHKB, from what ive read and heard on this video, im thinking I did.

Dood, seriously. The 660C sounds so damn good... Definitely need to save money to get one. I just want a white/beige one to come out.

Hey This may be a bit late but... on kbd mania I noticed you added foam to the fc660m. What was the reason for this?
