Good Evening!
« on: Mon, 26 January 2015, 21:44:54 »
Hello everyone!

Relatively new to the mechanical keyboard scene. Name is Royce and I have using a PFU HHKB Pro 2 for probably close to 2 months as a daily driver at work and at home. Best investment I have ever made.

I'm just keeping my eyes peeled in this forum for that PBT Topre Space Bar!

welcome to GH!

Very nice first? board to get! looks like you'll be saving money since you bought an endgame board first! unless we get that aluminum HHKB case in the talks.

Hahah I know! In all honestly, my heart was set on getting Cherry MX Clears on paper. I tested the other more commonly available switches at Microcenter, Best Buy, and Frys and i was inbetween liking Browns and Greens. I found out about Elitekeyboards and they had test boards for Cherry MX Clears. So I dropped by their store front and I immediately like the Cherry MX Clears but they felt a tad heavy but really nice tactile feedback. Out of whim I decided why not test out the Topre boards since they were side by side and my mind was blown. I ended up pseudo typing on a Realforce and a HHKB for about 5 minutes and I knew exactly what my switch should be. So I just decided to save a little bit more and get what really felt perfect. LOL

An aluminum HHKB?! I am extremely intrigued!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Starting with the best keyboard - setting yourself a fairly high bar to move forwards :p

And I'll just throw this link in here :))
"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
