Opinions topre realforce VS HH (will result in purchase)
« on: Fri, 27 February 2009, 14:50:31 »
Hey all.
I won a reasonable some of money today!!!!

So I am going to treat myself.
I will go for (I think) a realforce in black or a black HHP2. (I have the white one)

If anyone else can think of anything as sexy then LMK. Has to be without the numpad, price not really an issue! (please dont say optimus)

:D

Congrats. I'd go for the Topre with the red escape and all the other nice stuff.

Edit: What about the ergo Topre that has been mentioned lately, the uTRON?

LOL thanks for that.
I did not know there was a Topre ergo.
That sounds very appealing. I will do a search for it now.
Otherwise I think Black realforce with a lid will do the trick nicely!!

You seem to have no problem with JP layout keyboards, so, how about Topre "capacitive compact" MD01B0?
They actually aren't that rare, and the Diatec online shop have them in stock (that does not mean they are inexpensive, though).

Thanks wellington! Its about time I had some good luck with all the things going on at the moment.
So is the black realforce 86 available anywhere in the US layout?
I cant find it in any of the usual places.

by the way didnt xs compare hhkb and realforce recently?  He has both of them if you want to pm him a question ;)  I think he said one was a jaguar and the other a bentley ;) But he did find them different in subtle ways.

Realforce 91UBK and Dharma DRTCKB91UBK (and HHKB2) are the only black tenkeyless models available, and there's no black 86U, at least in Japan.
I don't know but maybe some Korean stores have them?

Woah.  Easy, Tiger.  You know, there are these creatures in the world called women.  Some of them are even nice, and a few of them might even like you.  You should ask one of them out on a date. :)

Who needs to date women when the desk-o-bra can let you access women whose names end in .jpg, .mov, and .flv whenever you need them, and ONLY when you need them?

lol! well in my defense I have to say it really does work very well (particularly when you have a desk as crowded as mine is ;)  It saves me pain in my neck too (I used to have to crane my neck to the side to read books as I type (when typing in long quotes for instance). But ya, its definitely a niche device ;)

Try here, along with the shipping agency that Skriefal mentioned in this post where I asked about the Samsung NC20.  I haven't tried the shipping agency yet.

If you want to buy from Korea, now is the good time, since the Won is rather weak at the moment (about 1500 Won to a US dollar)

As the owner of both, I'd say I prefer my Realforce a bit more.  Was actually considering selling off my HHKB for another Realforce.
