Pros & Cons
Pros
The only negative about this keyboard is the location of the backspace key. Especially that backspace. It's not for everyone especially if you need the function keys and numberpad often (i find that lack of arrow keys is not much of problem even when ... Read More
There is nothing better for a pure typist, and it's scary how fast you can get going. They aren't quite as clacky as i'd actually like them and i find that i might type a bit slower than usual but much more constant.
The keycaps are pbt, but there aren't any really fancy materials on display. The touch feeling of the caps (pbt) is very different with abs caps.
The keyboard is louder but feels much better without them. It has just enough click clack in conjunction with the feedback to be pleasing. The sound is less chattery on the upstroke, and it just feels amazing now.

It took me a long time to decide which mechanical keyboard to purchase and i am glad i went with the hhkb
Price
I know the price is a bit high but the size weight and typing experience are nearly impossible to beat
Packaging/appearance

Yes this one has rubber domes but you dont have to bottom these out to generate a keystroke on the screen
Competitiveness
Had it for a week so far but would definitely consider buying a type s or a realforce in the future if i was looking for a different layout
It actually now feels like a 45g board and makes the most pleasant raindrop thock sound when i type on it
I actually have one of the original hhkb that is 20 years old
You dont have to buy a types when you can just open up a regular hhkb and lube it

The reason i don’t really like it for gaming is because there is no left ctrl and it is instead where caps lock should be let’s be real no one uses caps lock on purpose anyway
