What keyboard would you pick up if you traveled to Japan?

[RiGS]

Have you bought something from that guy? That would explain everything.

Hungary is known for some famous mathematicians, if I'm not mistaken.

That ilovex is totally radical. Don't suppose there is an ansi version?

 
Nope. it was made for a system development company called, well, Ilovex...The workers from the pics didn't look as happy as the keyboard though... Then again, maybe that's the point..

Actually I don't really see the problem with using a keyboard with a Japanese layout. Then again, I usually hit the space bar smack centre... Really nice keycaps though...

[awry]

I love it when RiGS is so wrong yet so sure he's right.  A ">" sign in internet speak means Greater Than.

Oh wait.  It means that in math too.

What does it mean in Hungary? Is Hungary near Italy?  You and The Solutor should get together.

Haha. Nuff said. Hey, Ripster, if you see this, could you go check your private messages? I need some help with Alps. And I may be able to get that trackball you want. And no, i'm not stalking you, I was looking at your thread about trackballs coz I'm considering getting the slimblade but not anymore I think. The CST2545-5XW sounds tempting ( I normally do my browsing at 5000-6000DPI coz i'm a lazy arse) but the shape kinda puts me off. Doesn't look all that comfortable.

@Mr Perfect, if you can wait til the people who bought stuff from my thread get their caps and I've proven myself "trustworthy", I'll be clearing some boards including one of my Filco Zeros. Brand new and unused. Let me know yah? Cheers.


Heeey... Wait a min.. I just realised I totally forgot even posting that maniac depressive post.. RiiiiGs, are you like trolling my posts? If you wanna be friends, you can just ask you know? I would refuse of course but hey, it's worth a try on your part. =]

I would pick a Filco Ninja brown.

Naaa will be something like traveling to Italy and eating frozen pasta.

From the first page.

Only Wellington1869 thought they had transpostion errors.  Technically I think it was just a slightly slower scan rate to stay within the ALPS bouncing switch  specification.

When in doubt blame ALPS and you are rarely wrong.

 
I think Keyboard Co might have the current generation model with the Forward/Fukka switches, I asked for some clarification and they said they'd get back to me on it.

Hmm, it would be tempting. Tenkeyless with the Fukkas?

I'd pick up a Sega TeraDrive board. (In fact, I have an open WTB on one, if anyone finds one in Japan... :wink:)

yup. There are very few boards I like that are full sized..

[DivineWind]

Very interesting.  I already have a Topre so I wouldn't be looking to buy a keyboard (JIS layout doesn't play nicely with Colemak) but I was wondering keyboard accessories are exclusive to Japan.  I am talking about keycaps, the Filco Desk mat, and what ever you could think of because I will be heading over to Akiba in a few days.

[DivineWind]

Also Japanese Yen is very strong and it is rising!  Not a good time to buy something expensive in Japan...  The strong Yen is caused mostly by the Chinese pulling out Japanese currency.  I really want that Desk mat though, and would you happen to know if they have Topre keycaps?  Not a full set but different colored Escape keys and what not.
