Pop Quiz.
I know happy hacking keyboard 2's are Topre switches
but I found a "Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite"
is it a topre?
( I've only used cherry keys so I cant tell by feel )
-
Lite is just a hhkb with not very good regular rubberdomes
-
membrane. What do I win?
edit: waaa too slow
-
Damn, well how much is it worth? I bought one because I thought it might be a win, but I guess I lost.
worth anything or is it trash?
-
It's worth something. I, for one, would be interested in it because of it's layout and the history behind it. The feel doesn't hold a candle to the pro model though.

pics or GTFO

Looks good , but its a rubber dome

This, I'd say that the price for one new is probably a bit much, but I would deffo buy one used for cheap just to have a hhkb that can take a beating. Although that's not very likely to happen for me, since the cost of getting something like that to Norway is often enough that it's better to just go for the real deal instead.

People who bought the lite would probably want to keep it for themselves. Considering how much they paid for a rubber dome

Feel-wise the HHKB lite is the worst keyboard I ever owned. Better to save up for the Pro version or get a compact Cherry board instead.
-
To me Lite2 was the worst. Lite was OK for one year at least until I touched pro :)
BTW, some people prefer the first gen HHKB(fujitsu) than pro/pro2. Topre is not always the best of rubber dome for everyone. (IIRC, both Lite and Lite2 are poor Chicony.)
-
It is good if you want to find out whether you like the HHKB layout before spending big money on HHKB Pro 2 - as long as it is relatively cheap.

im currently using my hhkb lite 2 and i like it, but it will always be my secondary and soon to be my third behind my qpad mk85 reds and when my poker 2 comes!
Still a great little keyboard!
