I feel like I should just spend the money and get a HHKB Pro 2.
I got two BTC minis this morning, and I love the form factor - except for the cursor keys, so I recoded my Xmodmap config to have a second layer with the cursor keys around IJKL and that made the thing workable.
I also really don't think the rubbery feel of the BTCs are what I want, it's too incoherent - fine for occasional stuff but no way I'm using these things for daily use. I'm using a plain model M as my main board right now, but I think I can deal with a more subtle board, as long as it's precise.
So here's the deal:
I'm in the Netherlands and I'd like a good dealer that can give me a decent warranty for the price, and I'm a professional programmer with my own company so sales tax/VAT/BTW doesn't matter to me.
What I want is some dealer that I can trust and who will take the board back in the unlikely chance that it's broken in some way. I'm willing to spend around $300 US or 240 euros all in for a HHKB if it's really as good as people say it is.
Help me out people: are the things worth it, and if so, where can I get one - including shipping and taxes for this kind of money with a decent warranty?
