If I could choose any of those, I'd definitely go with a HHKB (probably what a lot will tell you as well). :)

if your hands hurt from typing, ergodox
otherwise do you want compact or no? if compact and you want mx, go for poker. if topre, hhkb. if you just put it on your desk and you have room mx go for filco(filco really good, esp with plate) and 55g realforce if you want topre
I would recommend you get a cheaper option like RK9000 or CM QFR.
When you have a better feel for what you want, you can purchase a more expensive option.
Just my 2 cents.

Hmm, I could just go with the Poker 2 at first. Then Wait until the CM topre with Cherry mx switch comes out.I would recommend you get a cheaper option like RK9000 or CM QFR.

I second this route. You'll start out with multiple boards then could just sell or trade what you don't like.

Then i could try that.
Is this your first board? go Filco
Are you a keyboard hipster who likes to live on the edge? go Ergodox
Do you have extra money you don't know what to do with? go HHKB
Will you be bringing your board with you places? go Poker(but not without buying her dinner first) or HHKB
Do you plan on doing some modding? go Filco or Poker
Do you game or code often and want a dedicated arrow cluster? go Filco
Small desk? go Poker or HHKB

oh lord. Plz don't listen to tp4. Just get the HHKB Pro 2. You will be very happy. And in 2-3 months, if you still have a hankering for the ergodox, you can get that too. You still have to assemble the ergodox yourself, right? So that could take you another month, if you're like me and don't get to things right away. So just get a great keyboard right away. You will be very happy with the HHKB Pro 2. Just remember the layout is a bit different. So you will have to adjust. But if you have more than 65 IQ points, it's not too hard. I have only 64, and I did it.
Get the HHKB. If you don't like sell it here on classifieds. I'm sure you will be able to sell it very quickly, if you're having doubts whether or not to buy the ergodox.

This is exactly the type of BS the topre fanbois love to post..
The only reasons that eth0s even posted this is because one, he's obsessed with h8n' on Tp4,
and 2, he wants you to buy a topre because HE HAS ONE.... you see, he doesn't have enough justification for it through himself, the keyboard does not speak for itself.. Therefore, he has to go on the internet, and find accomplices to affirm just how much "NOT A WASTE OF MONEY" the topre board really was...Show Image(http://www.emotasia.com/wp-content/uploads/onion-head-emoticon-25.gif)
Well I went with a HHKBP2. If I will not like switches (but will like the layout) I'll go for a Poker II. If I will not like the layout (but will love the switches) I'll probably go with a Realforce TKL + extra realforce numpad (so kb is left of mouse, numpad is right of mouse). If I will not like either the layout or switches I'll stick to my POM Cherry Blue, which I am currently in love with.
I went back and forth and realised that HHKBP2 is a really good option as starting grounds; I think there's a very good chance you will absolutely love it and if you won't, you've basically seen everything - the most exotic (still mass available) switches with the most exotic layout. From there you can go either way as per what bothers you with the keyboard and you know exactly what you want from your next one.
The initial investment is big, sure, but from here on out you should know exactly what you want (even if you don't like the keyboard) - this probably saves more time and money in the long run than buying cheap keyboards and finding bothersome problems with each.
Hi Air Tree, Any decision made yet?
For what it's worth, I'd recommend waiting until the Nexus (Acidfire's advanced updated version of the ErgoDox with angled thumb clusters) is available and get one of those with blank keys.
That's the most ergonomic option and since it's programmable you can also use a more ergonomic character layout.
If you don't want to go that extreme, then I'd recommend a Poker 2 with MX Browns for the following reasons:
1. Stock keycaps. They're PBT.
2. Aftermarket keycaps... there are tons of options for aftermarket caps which fit, and let's face it: You're on GH, you're going to switch keycaps at some point.
2. You can find out if the 60% layout works for you or not and whether or not you like the MX switches.
3. The Browns are a good starter switch, good for gaming and typing.
4. The switches can be modded in many ways including swapping stems and springs to turn them into different switches, so you can make the board feel how you want if you don't like the stock feel.
The problems with getting a HHKBP2 as a starter board are:
1. (Very) Limited keycap options. And getting even more limited since it looks like Topre will stop producing aftermarket sets.
2. (Very) High cost.
3. You still won't know what MX switches feel like (although you'll have the reverse problem with the Poker, not know what Topre feels like).
4. You can't change the feeling of the switches if you don't like them or want to try something else.
Well I went with a HHKBP2.

I think i have decided to get a poker 2 with cherry mx reds, and if i don't like reds it's browns because i can't stand the clicky sound of blues.
And from there i will be waiting until we here news of the CM topre board or just the Topre with Mx stem's in general.
In any case if i like the poker 2 i will probably end up buying a set of keycaps and maybe a aluminium case and plate in any case (Ha pun!)Show Image(http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/70bff581.gif)

I was going to put it in my FMJ case but I decided to just go all out while I was at it and ordered a pcb and plate from sprit, clears, springs, lube, stickers, clear tops (if they evar show up, thanks rarararar)
Getting a custom pcb and just simple switches like stock blues could be cheaper than a poker if you aren't using the stock poker keycaps in the first place.
My point is, that isn't even on the expensive side of things, anyone saying HHKB is more expensive in this situation is just stroking their ego (not calling names because this doesn't apply to all members, but a lot of members love to brag about how much their HHKB was)
People, he said he was getting an aluminum case and plate for the poker, how the hell is that cheaper than a HHKB?
I can't make your decision for you either way though, I honestly am going to say that I think the HHKB presents a decent value, the board is solid, you aren't going to be doing any case swaps and the stock keycaps are nice, I am going to pick one up next year.
Just think, poker 2 plus nice replacement keycaps(80-100) is going to cost up to or around 220, which isn't much cheaper than an HHKB. (and that is before an aluminum case, plate and any other switch tuning)

Stickers go between the top and the bottom of the switches, some people say they stabilize the switches better, some say they keep dust out of lubed switches. I can't really say anything about any of that since I didn't and wont bother doing tests but at around 6 dollars(the GB sold them for 1 dollar, but shipping was a couple dollars as well) it might as well be done if you are opening up switches. I would mainly say they are for aesthetics as long as you are using clear switch tops, or else you just see a bit of color sticking out of the side of the switch.

yea for GH60.. $10 labor + materials... if they charge you more.. they're un-friendly/ un-neighborly..
Don't you guys think that for someone who has never even had a mechanical keyboard it would make more sense to recommend him something else apart from black poker II completely rebuilt right off the bat, grounds up?
Just sayin'....this customization thingy, this must be a cultural difference between US and EU...you guys also love to customize cars and basically anything as long as it makes it unique, this is not very common over here. Just an interesting observation, not implying anything.
