Long time lurker first time poster
« on: Sat, 24 October 2015, 14:58:30 »
I just wanted to stop in and say hello.  My current daily driver is a HHKB Pro at work along with a Dell 101.

HHKB is love, HHKB is life.  I've been debating trying to get a second for work.

Welcome to Geekhack!

A nice contrast in keyboards, both size and switch.

Do you have a particular preference for either one?

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

What can I say, I feel like Model Ms really suck since they flex and feel mushy sometimes while a quality scissor switch can actually be pleasant to use (like my IBM T500 keyboard).

Thanks for the welcomes.  THE HHKB is the first gen pro that I found on ebay.  It take some to get used to the layout.  I also have a mid 80'S Model M SSK that I bolt modded. It barely gets used though.

HHKB and SSK - two of my favourite keyboards :D
