Would buy this if it wasn't for the arrow key situation... How do you guys handle it? I'm a programmer, I N-E-E-D arrow keys!

I'm also a programmer (as are probably a lot of people using these) - there's a couple ways i've heard of. e.g. a common one is Function + ASDW. My preferred method is to map F to go to the 2nd layer, where I've then mapped the vim movement keys (HJKL). e.g. hold down F and press J to move down. It's actually a shorter movement than using arrow keys. Takes a little getting used to, but I already use VIM key bindings in any editors that let me, so I like it.
While I'm mentioning customizations (which is why QMK is so awesome), some others that are handy for programming:
- map what is traditionally the Caps Lock key to: when held, Control. when tapped, Escape.
- map the Shift keys to Shift when held, Parens when tapped.

asdffdsaOmg, you have opened my world up by sharing your method with Function + ASDW. I am not a programmer, do type a ton and find myself needing arrow keeps a ton. I never thought of using an alpha key for some reason, but this is great. This might get me to try out a 60% board, thanks for sharing.

Also a programmer - I've used HHKBs for nearly a decade and at this point I can't imagine going back to any other layout.
Arrow keys are bound to function layer with [ as up, ; as left, ' as right, and / as down.

andrewdcatothose arrows, short backspace, caps=control and less bottom row keys make HHKBs the best layout imo (besides Alice)

andrewdcatoExactly!! It's far easier to get acclimated to using the FN key to get arrows than I ever imagined.
It becomes muscle memory after a few days so not having dedicated arrow keys is not a problem.
This board can be loud if you don't do all possible to quieten it down.
There is very little room for case foam but whatever you can get in there helps.
I positively LOVE the Tokyo60. I bought one "used, like new" fully assembled and another from the last sale.
I love them both. They look very stylish and take up very little room on my desk.
I expect there are better switch options but both of mine have hand lubed Halo Clear switches.
They are on sale again now so I'm trying to resist getting a third one.

I do a lot of programming and writing 60% keyboards are probably the best thanks to the functions keys. Going past a 75% keyboard just slows me down at this point. The FN key does wonders. It actually makes me faster in most cases.

Look at 65% boards. It’s the same as this but with arrow keys and page up and down.

Yes. www.caniusevia.com shows the rev 1 version of this PCB is supported. You can download the .hex file there and flashi it via QMK once and then VIA for life after that.

I just received and assembled my tokyo60 with Halo True switches and SA keycaps. The ping is so loud and awful. I tried using the padding included in shipping to dampen but it doesn't fit in the case. Any ideas?

I assembled my Tokyo60 v3 board and tried connecting it to two different MacBook Pros with two different cables. The keyboard isn't detected at all. I even tried with the original PCB that I received initially. Anyone have any suggestions?
