Title: WTS HHKB2
Post by: verbel on Sat, 06 July 2013, 19:01:05: Hello,

I want to sell my HHKB2 keyboard. I Used it at work for a while but my job has changed so I can’t use it anymore. It works perfectly and is clean. It is black with subdued characters on the keys. I have the carrying case that I purchased from elite keyboards. I never opened the case and it is still in the baggy that it was shipped in. Sorry for the crappy picture I will try to get some better ones tomorrow. I would like 240 shipped in the US for the whole package. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

And how difficult did you find it to not have dedicated arrow keys if at all?

Post by: verbel on Sat, 06 July 2013, 19:21:59: I used it for about 6 months I think. After about a week of use I was pretty used to using the function key to do the arrows. it never really bothered me though. I like the keyboard a lot but I don't get to sit at a desk anymore at work and I have a bunch of other keyboards that I also like at home.

If I don't get any takers in the US I will consider shipping to the UK I am not sure what the cost would be though.

PERSONALLY I think HHKB would be better if you are a linux/unix programmer.

I will pick FC660C if I'm working/using with Windows or Mac.

I love my FC660C.
Main differences are the layout (obviously)
FC660C has arrow keys and a delete an insert key.
The FC660C has a backplate, whereas the HHKB is PCB mounted.
The HHKB is a smaller board and has a more efficient layout for most.

Post by: badcop on Sun, 07 July 2013, 09:07:58: this is a really good deal considering i just got a board for a little under 300 shipped.

Really on the fence between this and waiting for an FC660C to come in stock somewhere. I'm a huge fan of the 55g realforce so far but I just want to try something with 45g switches too. Also portable.
