Had it once, want it again
« on: Mon, 11 February 2013, 20:03:36 »
So, I'm currently thinking about getting a HHKB Pro 2 again. I had it once before but ended up selling it. I forgot the reason why. Anyways, my longing for one has returned and I will probably pull the trigger. Anyone else have this problem?

Not for a HHKB, but I did have a NEC keyboard years ago that I loved.  I got rid of it, I think, when I moved interstate.

Recently I found another one under someone's desk at work - he was using it as a foot rest.

I rescued it, thoroughly cleaned it, and relived the experience of using one of those keyboards - fantastic!

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yes. I sold both my HHBK black and white (with labeling on both). I have since bought the HHKB in white with labeling and i am glad i did. I don't know what i was thinking to sell those keyboards. Every day i type on it i love it more and more. For whatever reason, the black and white keyboard sounded slightly different from one another. It doesn't make sense because they are the same keyboard essentially. If money was no object i would buy the black keyboard again and replace the black keycaps with all yellow (like Elitekeyboard sells). I may someday.  ^-^

You can pry my HHKB out of my cold dead fingers.

So along with the HHKB, I'm also thinking about getting the Realforce keypad. Man, having both, I wouldn't need anything else.

True, but I think I can make it work. I have some things I might sell.
