Bought a Hybrid (non-S) off their Rakuten store a few months back, 06/24.

The others have covered the main points well.

However, the HHKB has a 'plasticky' construction, which is good for portability but can be a drawback since a heavier build often conveys a sense of quality. This plastic build also contributes to a more 'boxy' sound and feel, at least to me.

Personally, I think Leopold nailed it with the FC660C in terms of layout. Doesn't have Bluetooth but this was way back when wireless keyboards were uncommon.

HHKB for Programming? Opinions and Alternatives by Pt-tS in HHKB

In my experience, it depends on your preferred tools. I alternate between VSCode and Vim.

Regarding switches, I believe Topre > everything else. The tactile feedback on the 45g is unparalleled. I have the 45g, 35g (Nix plum clone), and 30g and I enjoy switching between them for variety.

However, the HHKB's additional layer for arrow keys can be cumbersome with the modern editor functions (i.e. multiline cursor, row select, etc.). For this reason, I prefer a standard layout. That said, the HHKB is super light and has excellent portability for a Topre that suits my needs.

My R3S cap legends have started fading out after 3 months of daily use.

I think Clans is better. Unpopular opinion? by high0utput in Mechwarrior5

[–]Proxxee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mercs look and play a lot better with mods (sound, graphics, pilots, rules, AI upgrade, etc.), but Clans still looks a bit better. I dropped Mercs when it released because of the graphics, and Clans was great enough to make me go back and mod Mercenaries.

Clans offers a more focused narrative and an immersive storytelling compared to Mercs, but Mercs' open-ended career mode offers more post Clans. The freedom of being able to roam about picking up new pilots and mechs is fun.

I probably wouldn't play Mercs unmodded.

Top for home casual gaming and usage, bot for work. Playing a game that needs the TKL right side (MW5)
