Wrong choice.
HHKB Type-S!!!

Whistle while you work :))
"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

Wow, necro bump. I was reading through the first page saw the word "Ripster" and checked the date - 2010...

On topic - I really like my HHKB but would be interested in trying a 55g board, maybe even doing a dome swap. As the others have said you can probably get used to the heavier keys after a few days.

I'd like to have 3 HHKBs, one ergonomic, one standard and one with 55g.  Ergonomic HHKB would be good for the right pinky which is used a lot to do arrow keys and such.
