Title: So it begins...
Post by: therealmatt on Sat, 13 June 2015, 09:01:25
Like most new members, I have been reading board for a while now and finally decided to join up! My current setup is a HHKB Lite2. Im looking into getting either the HHKB Professional 2 (If I really want to spend the $$$), Filco Minila, or Leopold FC660M.

Welcome! How do you like your HHKB Lite2? I saw it on amazon and was wondering why a HHKB was so cheap and then read the description that it was like a premium rubber dome keyboard? Sounds interesting though  :thumb:

As for Leopold FC660M, they're currently being discontinued so goodluck finding one =\

Welcome to Geekhack!

If you like the arrow keys on the HHKB Lite, you'd probably want to go for the HHKB Pro 2 JP (Japanese version), or the FC660M.

Or you could get an FC660C - for oneness with cup rubber AND arrow keys!

I really like the HHKB Lite2. I know it's membrane switches but they feel good to me. I think it would be a good start for beginners like me. I went in on a massdrop for the kc60 keyboard with brown gateron switches. Can't wait to get that in and try.

When you get a HHKB pro2, could you write a comparison between two? Just curious haha..
