Got a HHKB Professional Hybrid off of Mechmarket here for about $120. I already own a Realforce R2 TKL and though "what the hey, I want to see what the fuss is all about with these". Got the board in, figured if I really hate it I can always resell it.

This is my progression:

First couple of days: This thing is too small, it feels a little too cramped compared to my Realforce. This layout is just stupid, how can anyone get used to this.

Couple of days later: This layout sucks really bad, at this point it's painful to remember all of this. I really f'in hate this stupid ass layout...

A week in: I kind of like the placement of control and backspace tbh...

Later in this week: It almost feels better then my Realfoce (compares the two multiple times, it does feel better... or should I say different). I still hate the layout.

Third week or so: How in the living hell did I ever type on anything other than this thing.

Later that week: This layout is genius, it's seriously the best thing ever, it makes so much sense. how did I ever live without this layout in my life (doom emacs user here)...

Now I got silencing rings and lube coming so I can make it sound a little better. Tbh I only posted here because I wanted to type more and something different than monkeytype quotes.

They will have to pry this thing out of my cold dead hands at this point, I love it that much.

Thank you for attending my TED talk.

Hello,

Looking to buy a 14inch ThinkPad that has AMD processor and at least 16gb of ram. This will be a kubernetes cluster and run linux so AMD please. Preferably 5850U or the 7840U.

Thanks

Maybe a long shot but I want to try the HHKB, been using my realforce for years just want to give the layout a shot. My budget is $120, hence the longshot... Unfortunately not looking for the lite model because those are not topre switches.

Thanks

Looking to pick one up. I love my R2TKL and I take it to work with me but plugging it in and out is a pain in the ass so looking to get a wireless alternative. Anyway let me know, thanks!

Pre-ordered the Retroid Nova but now I think I don't need since I only play SNES retro games. Still want a 4:3 though. Let me know.
