Happy hacker 2 is a poo poo layout with a bunch of wasted space on both corners and anyone who would buy one is fooling themselves; discuss.

http://www.mechkb.com/products/mechanical-keyboards/toprequote:When you purchase a Topre, you can rest assured that you are purchasing one of the highest quality keyboards available to the public. Man, I wish I could get my hands on those private reserve keyboards that are so high quality that the public is forbidden to use them.

Mechanical keyboards are cool but there is definitely something to be said for ergonomic if you're actually typing for a living. I'm using a HHKB2 right now and honestly its poo poo for ergo and is starting to hurt my hands. I don't type that much so can manage it but if I was really doing work I would insist on a split design and would prefer something like a Kinesis.

we should have yospos clan tags that are about what switch we use to post and that way I can discriminate against non-topre users.

LUBE UP YOUR BUTT posted:topre hhkb feel really loving nice but the layout absolutely sucks balls for fps bideo james.. also if you like your arrow and f keys without having to hit a modifier all the time i guess The hhkb layout is so good that I'm probably going to end up buying another one to replace my filco.

I was switching back and forth between a hhkb2 pro in white and a kinesis advantage for a while. The kinesis won because my wrists are weak and fragile. If anyone wants a newish topre hhkb2 with no legends let me know. Id trade for a graphics card or something.

Silver Alicorn posted:is carbon fiber really that much lighter than plastic? I thought the point of it was being lighter than steel Good point. Hard to answer since I'm sure you could pick a density and thickness of plastic to be heavier or lighter than whatever number of layers of carbon fiber.

How much does a cherry switch weigh? I have a gram scale and some loose cherry switches laying around my house so I'll check later.

Should I learn dvorak or colemak? I did an hour of dvorak practice last night but then I thought hm...colemak is actually made for a computer instead of a 1800s typewriter. On the otherhand, there is more support for dvorak as its more common.

atomicthumbs posted:why not try Workman instead 3 reasons; I have a kinesis, which makes the top row more accessible, I like at least the idea of alternating hands for vowels/consonants, and I believe I'll find wider support across platforms.

Also, so far it has been pretty easy to switch. 2 hours over 2 days and I can touch-type all the characters. I'm going glacially, but haven't resorted to qwerty yet at work 5 hours in.

The gap between membrane switches and cherry switches is the same as the gap between cherry and topre. They are so obviously superior that the only type of person who would try to pedantically grasp at the word "mechanical" is a person who can't afford to have them. It's like eating caviar except actually good.
