Please don't hang/burn/shoot me....But I have noticed as of late the bigger my 60% collection grows the less enamored I am with my HHKB. Perhaps it's the lack of variety or my need to collect..not sure precisely what but lately when I swap my HHKB into my rotation I notice I swap it back out much faster than usual.
I still think it's a fine board,I still recommend it quite often..but perhaps it's Topre switches themselves I am fallout out of love with slowly? I traded one of my HHKB's to a GH member recently.....and I'm considering trading out my second.
Any of you out there end up with this feeling after owning a HHKB for awhile and owning several other boards as well? Using your HHKB less and less as time goes on?
Perhaps it's just my personal tastes changing in the long run...as they tend to do oh so very very often.
If you have the means, keep at least 1 and rotate it back in at another time. Don't lose all hope!

I've never owned one but I would think part of the attraction of (and reason for choosing) the HHKB is the layout. I'd think that even if you no longer feel the tingle of the Topre switches, you'd still keep it for the distinctive layout.
Am I wrong?
HHKB goes in the bin

Could be considered right for that thread i suppose. If a mod wants to move it I'm fine with that =p
You bought the hype so thought you loved it (groupthink is a powerful thing!) but when that wore off you woke up and realised it's just not for you.
You're not the first and you won't be the last :))

I think he was (trying) to make a joke ;)
If PFU and Topre will pay me to rave and speak the gospel of the HHKB I'm totally down, I do that **** for free already.You bought the hype so thought you loved it (groupthink is a powerful thing!) but when that wore off you woke up and realised it's just not for you.

I honestly can't imagine using a HHKB, function layers are annoying and the lack of CTRL key makes it unusable (for me) for any type of gaming.
A TKL Case Mounted Topre board WOULD BE HEAVEN.

Isn't that what a CM Novatouch TKL is? Or am I missing something?

As you said your taste tend to change often. I am the same way, so it's possible that one day you will want to use your HHKB again and it would suck if you traded it.
I understand your dilemma, but let's not be rash. This is a life we are talking about here.

One reason why I keep so many keyboards around.
I was most disappointed by how much friction topre had..

The HHKB has way more friction than the Realforce boards. I was really disappointed by it when I got my first HHKB.
Something else strange is that the black keys sound and feel better on both the Realforce and HHKB (I have both colours of each).
The Realforce is just a better keyboard all around. The HHKB, while I really enjoy it in its own way, is really inconvenient a lot of the time. It's fine for general computer use, but anything that uses the F-layer or lots of navigation is a pain. The 45g in the HHKB is a bit heavier and pops a bit more than the 45g in the Realforce, though.
I do find that I get sick of all my keyboards before long, whether it's boredom, inconvenience, size, sound, weighting... it's always something. I praise the Realforce 87U 45g as much as I do because it's the only keyboard in my signature that I don't really tire of.
Yeah, the NovaTouch sounds lame. I think the TypeHeaven also sounds like a regular rubber dome.I thought the modded novatouches sounded pretty good.
The Royal Kludge/Plum Topre Clones sound like dental banded topre, and it's delicious! (because they are dental banded out of the box)
I go in and out of mine. In fact, when I use Topre, I usually end up using the Novatouch over the HHKB. It's a board I'll keep, but it's a tough one for me to nail down in terms of regular usage.

They're great! Unmodded is a rattle-clack fest, though. They really respond well to modding and everyone who owns one should at least lube the stabs and swap out for some nice caps.
So after some extended time has passed i'm glad i kept my main HHKB and did not trade/sell it. WHile i am glad i traded the other since it was sitting boxed unused...going back and forth between my HHKB and ...a plethora of other 60%'s has made me appreciate it that much more. SO thanks to those of you who convinced me to keep it :p
@demik you can take me off the kill list now
