Between the two, HHKB layout is better. It takes almost no getting used to. If the backspace was 1u and on the top row, yeah, it would mess me up for weeks. But in the spot of \| it makes a lot of sense.
Get an hhkb.
I prefer HHKB over any by far. Layout takes very little adjusting, and when switching from board to board, the swap to a normal backspace is instant.
Also, control on any key other than caps is a mistake. all of my boards have control and caps swapped.

TBH I really like the HHKB layout enough to swap it to my larger boards! It took only a few hours to get used to and it just makes so much sense. However, it would be nice to have some extra keys in the side space, despite its sexy looks.Yeah it also gives you two extra keys for artisans! Haha. I swapped the layout using Karabiner and I'm really digging it :thumb:
Whats wrong with ANSI Enter?Nothing, if that's what you've grown up using. I've always had an ISO enter and usually hit the top of it, it's a hard habit to break :-[

I cannot switch between having enter and backspace in the same position whether that is HHKB layout or my preferred inverted version. If you accidentally type a \ you can delete it along with your mistake when you find backspace, if you press enter when you've made a mistake bad things happen :pI made a few mistakes a few times at the beginning, but you get used in no time. I can switch from my custom 60% to a standard ISO without any problem at all.
Its Topre, so it must be better than your Pok3rFor fans of the FC660 layout who also want TMK programmability, now we have skullydazed's Clueboard PCB. I'm most likely going to be picking one up soon.
However programability is a nice feature
In the best world, get HHKB and Hasu, you can tweak whatever layout you want
I have dedicated arrows (toggled), i dont' miss anything
The thing is TMK/Hasu let you program absolutely anything
e.g
Momentary Switch with Tap Toggle means i can use secondary functions (dedicated arrows on wasd) by holding a key (ideal place for fn on the left cmd, perfectly aligned under wasd)
That's mean i can holding fn/right cmd and use wasd as dedicated arrows, if i want to use permanent secondary functions, several taps on fn/left cmd (define your own number, for example, 2)
Do you get it?
See how powerful Hasu's controller it is
Now my HHKB is perfect allrounder layout, i can use for anything (gaming, desktop use) without bothering me at all
HHKB physical layout its close to the perfection, with programability feature, its among one of best keyboard i ever try when it comes about ergonomic and layout
My advice: get HHKB and Hasu's controller instead of FC660C
And adding Hasu's controller means wireless ability as well (bluetooth, just buy lipo battery)
This guy is genius, long life to the King Hasu ;D
Question for those who do the HHKB remap of the backspace to above the enter on a standard ANSI keyboard. Where do you map the now homeless backslash key?

To backspace. I just swap the two.
I move the pipe to a secondary layer in that case. But I usually prefer custom 60%.I split the backspace in two 1u keys and I use the one on the left.
But what if you're using a standard ANSI layout, ie a Poker without the split keys?
