I own a HHKB Pro JP and I don't see why one would want to get the US version. The JP version has more keys, including dedicated arrow keys; additionally, the small spacebar doesn't cause any aggravation and it's made of PBT not ABS.
ETA: Also, if you guys get a bunch of subscribers to this poll, is there any reason not to just order from the manufacturer and have a buying agent ship the boards to Massdrop?
yiriYup... Added the white version up in the poll for JIS
I have a JIS layout topre and have no problems with it. Just remapped a couple keys and I'm set. I definitely think the arrow keys is a big deal
yiriI absolutely _love_ the US non-printed versions for it's pure simplicity and symmetry. I have three now; one for work, one for the home office, and one as everyday carry.
yiriIt's an ISO layout.. That is a definite downside for a lot of people. To name the biggest flaw, the fuckhuge enter key and the pipe being moved screws with muscle memory. Can't honestly say if different sized shift and space would affect me.
vermiculusyah I love it. carrying around a full-sized keyboard to me feels like bringing my 4U around with me. the HHKB just fits on top of your laptop and doesn't take up much space on the desk around you
