Given all the aesthetic attention we pay to our keyboards, I'm curious if anybody has found a mouse that feels like a good companion for a HHKB. Before you post some great gaming mouse or whatever big fat Logitech is out there, I'm specifically looking for somethat that "goes with" HHKB:
- tactile quality (we spend hours on here debating different kinds of keyboard switches, so you know what I mean)
- simplicity (don't need more than a couple buttons and a scroll wheel, but done well)
- reliability/build quality (again, look at the duty cycle of these keyboards)
- aesthetics (simplicity -- nothing that screams "video games!")
thanks!

So I had to RMA my Zowie EC2 eVo and they gave me this Zowie EC2-A, I love it.

zowie ec2/a
the click is GREAT. it has such a nice satisfying click that my DA/g9x didn't have. it's simple, dont need any programs running. the ec1/2-a version has better coating than the ec2. doesn't scream "gaming".. the scroll wheel lights up to indicate at what DPI setting it's at.
i've had mine for 3 days, and it's awesome so far. epzy loves his (he's the reason i got mine, recommended it and he broke my DA by cursing it)

I love my CST L-Trac and it looks pretty classy next to my HHKB. However if you have small hands it may be too large, it fits my hands perfectly and I wear a large/xl size glove.

Gonna have to reiterate what's already been posted.
For a white hhkb the Zowie EC* series, camade etc.

For a black hhkb the Zowie EC*, DA Black, CST l-track & WMO all look great.

Deathadder Black Edition, it has a matte graphite-gray tone similar to the dark HHKB Pro2.

If you have a beige hhkb I have always wondered whether the beige CST trackballs would match.

hhkb is more of a greyish white than beige

It wont't and they don't have white buttons, only a white body. (I've contacted their support with this query :)))

Yeah, ok. I have a grey-white HHKB and a white Zowie EC2 mouse an I think that the white EC2 mouse is too glossy white to be a perfect match.
It's ok though my life won't end because my keyboard does not match my mouse ;)

Easy solution. Sand your mouse down. :))

plastidip it matte white
hhkb is still more greyish white than white white tho

On a somewhat related note, do you want to use the built-in USB hub? It can supply only very limited power, and I don't have a Pro 2 at hand, but the holes around the ports are too small for some connectors (e.g., Kensington Slimblade) in my Lite 2.

Microsoft WMO 1.1 for white?
-
For me, the CST LaserTrac looks great with the HHKB (in black, that is).

Matt black is cool on anything :cool:

If the corsair m45 wasn't so ****ing ugly it would be the perfect mouse.
Too bad its really really ugly.
