ludwigtheholybladeAlready there with mechanical keyboards and nice mouses (mice?). The odd thing is that I still just like my K70 and iKari mouse the most. The others get rotated to other machines where they see little use.

ludwigtheholybladeI just wanted you guys (SkipPp and ludwigtheholyblade) to know I am a serial collector of almost everything I can order. Watches, fountain pens, headphones, (just ordered a new keyboard).......My cat seems to collect cat toys as well. I guess we should start a recovery program, although I am having in too much fun collecting! Cheers! Onward to the next watch, or whatever :)
SkipPpSame. Once I got my hands on a Topre (FC660C), I think all other switches fell on the wayside, even Browns. Once I get a HHKB BT and Mech Keypad I'll most likely close the gate.
@dholik8503 I can imagine you guys fight over cabinet space as well!
SkipPpHHKBs make use of Electro-Capacitative Switches, which Topre uses in their keyboards. There is plenty of documentation on how they work, as well as the placement of certain keys unique to HHKB, but the feel of Electro-Capacitative Switches is what makes it a winner to most people, as well as being the most subjective aspect to it. Pressing keys has a fair bit of weight to them, but the sensation makes it a joy to type on.
It pretty hard to describe as you can see, so I would recommend checking out the Mechanical Keyboards subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/) and see if there are places where you can try out the keyboard (even attending meetups) so you can understand what I'm talking about. Electro-Capacitative keyboards are pretty expensive as well, so it's prudent to see what you're getting into before you drop the cash for it. But for someone who types a lot for a day job (and writes on the side), it makes the long sessions quite bearable.

ludwigtheholybladeDogs have owners, cats have staff. Hence my cat has more cabinet space than I do. Cheers!
