I’m genuinely just confused what the hype is with HHKB. It sounds just like a membrane but for 250 dollars. What the hell is the hype about?

It feels good and the layout is ideal, once you get used to it. Although no accounting for taste. It’s worth trying for a week or two, you might like it :)
What do you mean by “layout is ideal […] not accounting for taste”? I thought taste / aesthetics was the reason behind the layout? Don’t get me wrong, i really like the aesthetics, but i can’t see how it’s objectively a better layout.
It isn’t objective. But tons of people like it. The idea is to keep your fingers and hands on the home row at all times, so the modifiers are moved around and some actions like the arrow keys are moved to the function row.
Sounds like vim motions
Heavily influenced by vim
The layout isn’t “ideal” for many people who care about ergonomics given that it’s row-staggered and non-split. A split Topre keyboard would be a dream, though.
