Bought HHKB Type-S, then traded it away.
Then bought another.

Never going without an HHKB again.

I know model M collectors would love having multiples to play with, but what about Filcos and what not?
Yeah, I do model M's. But I've only bought one - I've never 'bought a keyboard twice'. That's because my first Model M was free, and I bought the second (for less than $20!)
I don't usually collect things, but when I do, they're from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. My typing speed: 79 WPM

Yes, and the one you bought....  did you get it working yet?

Only by swapping the controller or using it with the 3161 terminal.
I'm fine like that for now, thinking when I have time I'll make a membrane matrix decoder with my arduino.
Thanks for remembering, though! :)

I think you can get a controller for it from clickykeyboards if I am not mistaken.  You might want to check that out.

I wish I had...

Which is to say that I have yet to find a keyboard that I really gel with. I'm hoping the Noppoo EC108-Pro I'm in the current massdrop for will suit me- if it's close, I might go on the hunt for one of those all-30g Topre boards that they discontinued a year or two ago. But once I find a keyboard I love, I will probably buy two- though it does depend what direction the market is going in, and whether it's new/in production or not.
