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?

Get a real force
Full-sized Realforce R2 ended up being my final keyboard. I don’t even look at new keyboards anymore.
Same here, I have Cherry and Alps keyboards too. Topre keys are the most comfortable, feels good and is not too loud. Topre is the only one I don’t feel fatigued after hours of typing. And full keyboard is the best IMO, I don’t need to memorize any shortcut and it actually looks great.
Same here, I picked one up on Amazon for $180 and haven’t looked back
R1 87u was definitely the best realforce board but the r2 was great too. The tkl plus the numpad lock is awesome, and the steel plate is incredible with topre. Best typing experience ever
I love my r2 but I wanna switch keycaps on it. Cant find any decent blank ones
or a leopold!
That’s what I did. Lucky to have someone to sell it to me.
Leopold is much sturdier and also has the nice typing feel. I don’t care it’s heavier, I prefer it that way.
I could not get used to HHKB’s lack of ability to remap capslock (ctrl on that board) to escape. Years of muscle memory I did not want to change. There is no good position for CTRL if you put ESC there. Also arrow keys with modifier I found bit hard to use.
Leopold has regular capslock which I remapped. Also has arrow keys. I do miss the old position of backspace, that is now bit further. And sometimes wish CTRL was bit higher. Overall very happy that I switched and an no longer looking for another keyboard.
