"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

As a person interested in computers, are there any places you would recommend I must visit? For example any keyboard-related shops that I must drop by? Would be happy to receive advice on this!

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Well default answer if you want to be near a lot of places to buy/try keyboards is Akihabara. I haven't been here that long (and I've been busy ever since so haven't had as much time to explore) so if there's any specifically interesting places for keyboards (Like the more hidden places in HK) then we're probably better off asking hasu.

If you want something not as keyboard related then if you have any ideas I can probably think of a place (or ask some of my friends here who've been living here much longer than me)

I'm happy to meet up and have a drink :) Doesn't have to be keyboard related. Don't mind also if we do, can be a drop by the keyboard shops, take a look, then go get coffee or beer whichever is nicer in Japan!!!
