Title: Got my Happy Hacking Lite today
Post by: D-EJ915 on Wed, 30 July 2008, 19:05:11

It's pretty nice, I like the feel, the keys are heavy feeling and I like that.

Anyway here are 2 pics I took of it.

It goes nicely with my new Mouseman (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/enthauptet/bin/mice_comparison.jpg) as well [size=0]one in the middle[/size]

Nice mouse collection, I had that Logitech in the middle, the weird, triangle looking one. That one takes me back, early 90's?

I have that same model HHKB Lite, but in black, at work.

I have a HHKB lite that has the arrow keys, is the one in the picture a newer model? Or is it an older one?

The one pictured above is the original HHKB Lite.  The HHKB Lite 2 has the added arrow keys.

Mine feels alright, good enough for work, but it isn't even in the same league as my HHKB Pro 2.

I got mine day before yesterday.  NIB black Lite 2 from ebay.  I bid on it before seeing xphat's review and after getting it I'd have to agree.  The key layout is nice but the membrane is mushy and uneven from key to key.  I started my quest because my hands hurt, but I don't think this keyboard will help.  Anybody need a black HHKB Lite 2?

I've noticed that the control key is kinda sticky, I usually keep my fingers on the ctrl q, w and d when I'm browsing the web and my pinky is on the left edge of the control and it sticks a bit when I have it like that.  Works fine when it's in the middle of the key though.

How much do you want for it?

Hi zwmalone
I'd like to get $55 for it.  I paid $60 a week ago on ebay.  I discovered that there are actually different kinds of switches and touches (duh!) when I found this forum, and for my body pains I'm willing to pay pretty much anything for a nice light keyboard; perhaps the HHKB Pro 2.  Anyone know the lightest touch, is that the Topre or some variety of Cherry's?
