I've been reading this forum for a while now, so I've created an account earlier. I think now it's time to introduce myself :)
I'm from France, and I started to use mechanical keyboards from almost one year, with a Ducky Shine 3 (MX Brown).
I liked it a lot, but I still wanted to try Topre switches, and especially the HHKB. Not long after ownuing my Ducky, I found someone who was selling one in my town for a good price. Then, all I had to do was send back my Ducky and buy the HHKB. And that's what happened.

Any story that ends with a HHKB is a good one.
Welcome to posting.

I already like the way you think :thumb: The Realforce 87U 55g is my absolute favorite keyboard there is, out of a retail box. Should you ever get a chance to pick up one of those, or want to expand your Topre I would highly recommend it!

Welcome to Geekhack!
Two good keyboards you've started your journey with :)
Do you have the HHKB yet? If so, what do you think of it?

I'd like to try Topre 55g switches, so I might buy this board. Maybe next year :).

I forgot to mention it, but I have my HHKB since last november. I think it's a great board, I really like the feeling of the switches, and the layout. At the beginning, I had some issues with its layout: before buying this keyboard, I only used fullsize ISO keyboard, and I looked a little bit at my keyboard while typing. Fullsize ISO to HHKB with blank keycaps wasn't an easy transition, for me. Changing blank keycaps for the printed ones helped me, and I learnt to type properly, so it's not an issue anymore, and I can really enjoy my keyboard.

Anything to HHKB with blanks is a difficult transition ;)
