Title: HHKB US vs JPN layout
Post by: s0nia on Tue, 14 April 2015, 22:28:19

Can't decide which one to get! I'm really digging the arrow keys on the Japanese version, but the small delete key and lack of blank caps (don't want to purchase another set) is kind of deterring. Is the US layout really that bad if you use arrow keys mild-moderately?

You get used to the arrow keys on the HHKB fairly quickly. They're not too bad.

Had mine maybe 2-3 months of light-moderate use and I don't have to look down to do the arrows anymore. That tiny spacebar on the JP version would probably bother me more I think.
