Hey Geekhack,
Nothing much to say but I am Dyaems, whichs is a misspelled James and I only use those two usernames in forums, but mostly the former since James is a pretty common name.
I only own a HHKB PRO JP since i am used to its layout because my old membrane keyboard is also using that layout. I can use the usual layouts though since I am using a generic keyboard in my office! Oh, I also own a yellow Realforce 108KT as my replacement keycaps.
I might buy a Model M or F sometime but I might have to have the model F modded because I'm terrible at soldering despite I used to fix/recable headphones, which is ironic-ish.
I don't really use english as my primary or secondary language so I apologize for any mistakes!

Welcome to Geekhack!
Yellow - nice :)
Model M or F would be great - everyone says the F is better, but you can start with an M and just get a SDL to USB cable, or a PS/2 to USB adaptor and just plug and type.

Looks good to me, Welcome to the community!

Welcome to GH!!!
If you're used to the JP layout, does that mean you're Japanese? or just somewhere that uses ISO?

No, I'm not Japanese. Its a long story, and its a saaaad one!

I honestly just want to try one. Same thing I did with my Topre keyboard, and might as well buy an SSK while I'm at it if I were to because I don't use the numpad at all.
I am really leaning towards an F but their non-fullsized (space unsaver?) is rare and really expensive. Not to mention they are needed to be modded, or something? Haven't done a good amount of research yet so I'm not sure.

Thanks! Although I think i will be immune to those, heh. The HHKB and 108KT is more than enough!

Hi! Sounds like you're off to a great start! :) I hope you're able to own a Model M or Model F soon, they are quite nice. ;)
Enjoy your time here, and watch out for your wallet! :)) Welcome to geekhack!

An SSK would be an expensive option just to try!
I was lucky and found two full size Model M for just over $30. A little bit of cleaning, a couple of extra keycaps, and one of them was good to go (the other needs a bolt mod and a few more keycaps).
Now I know I like them, and I'd really like an SSK!
