I'm a recent convert to HHKB layout and it happened kind of by accident. I've always been a buckling spring guy, from when I first started finding cheap or free IBM kit in the late nineties. I found a New Model F 62-key at a good price; it uses HHKB layout. It was quite a change from the 122-key IBM board I used before! But I grew to like the layout. Then when I changed jobs and my new boss couldn't stand noisy keyboards, getting an HHKB Type-S was the obvious choice. So now I have Topre at work and capacitive buckling springs at home, both HHKB layout.
