Hi Everyone,
I had no idea this community existed till 2 weeks ago. I was at a local computer store, looking for some cheap SSD, and accidentally brushed my hand on CM Strom Rapid Fire keyboard. That was it, I felt very soothing sensation punching keys, never experienced before, and that cherry blue sound. I couldn't detach myself from the KB, spent about 30 mins just pressing random keys. I came home and spent next week just researching about different mechanical KBs. After spending almost a week reading the forum and googling about all things KB, I finally pulled a trigger on Filco Majestouch2 Ninja on Amazon for about 125 CDN. Which seemed alot for a keyboard, till I came across GMK Dolch keycaps set on massdrop. Couldn't believe that keycaps set is more expansive than KB. But I couldn't keep my mind of this color set. another week agonizing over it, I couldn't resist its pull and my wallet is now empty another 160 CDN. Its ridiculous that I have spent over 300 on KB.
Whats wrong with me, I need help!!!!!!

throw it all away, buy hhkb. be happy.

Welcome to Geekhack!
Filco is a good solid reliable keyboard - should last you for years.
This is a very deep rabbit hole you've slipped into. Imagine a single keycap for $500. One keycap! Kinda puts a $125 keyboard into perspective :p

I was on the fence on hhkb, wasnt too sure to either go for pro 2 or type s. After much deliberation went for type s. It will be my office desk warrior, and filco will be my home play thing. Now I am looking for hard case to carry hhkb when on the road. Any ideas where one can find it?

personally, i think the type s is a little over priced for the "difference". but hey, if u can afford it why not? as long as you're typing on the greatest keyboard ever created, we're good.

Adele has ruined the word "hello" for me. And you said it three times. I'm pretty sure she is going to appear and whine and cry.

Haha Adele is the new Beetlejuice, say "hello" 3x and she'll appear making you full of sorrow and emotions.

Received both Filco Majestouch 2 [swapped keycaps with GMK Dolch set from massdrop] and HHKB Pro 2 Type S. Have been using both for weeks.
HHKB is soooooo better. I love type s, its like typing on butter, and sound feekback on keypress is unique and pleasant. Love the form factor of HHKB and its very easy to get use to different fn and all the keys are easily reachable. No need to move hands at all. It is expansive for sure, and hope that it last lifetime.
Just found out that one of my friend is in Tokyo, asking him to send Realforce 87U Tenkeyless 55g. I will then put Filco on ebay.

told you. demik never lies about hhkb lyfe
