I'm new, but plan on staying, at least for a little while. Figured I might as well introduce myself.
My primary interest that got me here was having seen a HHKB somewhere on the internets I thought the layout was genius or awesome... probably both. Either way, went on my merry way to find one... and it's a bit to much keyboard for me. That said, I was still curious in other 60% layout keyboards, and looked at the Poker 2 and Pure, neither of which I've been able to convince myself are for me.
Then I read about the GH60, and I think it'll be worth waiting around for. So here I am. :)
That said, I'm not a total foreigner to mechanical keyboards, but the only one I've ever bought was a Rosewill RK-9000RE that I was very happy with while I used it. The USB port worked just fine for me, but I did start to notice every now and then the leds would blink as though it just go plugged in. I currently don't use it anymore because I'm limited to my laptop for the foreseeable future, and its just to bulky to bring it along.

Hmmm, well i don't think the HHKB Pro 2 is too much keyboard for anyone. The price may seem steep at first, but it's actually worth it. I have a lot of keyboards, and the HHKB Pro 2 will not disappoint you in any way. The Type-S is even nicer. But at $400, I know you are apprehensive. All I can tell you is that ater you have been in this hobby for a while, you will realize what a bargain that $400 really is, considering you get silenced Topre switches and PBT keycaps.
