Have you told your colleagues how much you paid for it, for comic effect?

Very nice... Reminds me of my own first videos ( no voice.... )

i made a quizz once, the higher price was 60 €

I had some strange look from others as i told them the right price...

Thank god you didn't, gives me more time to put your card back into your wallet after I've ordered one.
EDIT: ordered one using your credit card, thanks mate, it means a lot to me. I just hope you don't mind being $173.32 in debt!

$173?! Where did you find one that cheap?

I didn't.

Ohhhh, I really want one of these, someone please talk me out of it..

Not me! I've a lot of keyboards, and this one is in my top 3. I'm One with the layout. It's my keyboard of choice on-the-road. It scares people. It is small, weird, blank, and has a skull. They won't touch it. This is all a good thing.

Well, I think I'm sold. When I buy my new mac in a couple of months I think I'm going to treat myself to a blank white HHKB

Nice, where did you get the palm rest from? It looks bigger than the OEM HHBK model?

I'm seriously considering a HHKB2, I also like the idea (and looks) of the non printed keys. However the only thing that worries me is how I'm gunna learn all the function keys. I mean, how did you learn them at first? Did you first get the printed ones, learn the layout then buy the blanks? Or did you start with blanks and kinda refer to a manual or something to know which key was which?

Tape a piece of paper to the bottom of your screen. It's even closer than the keyboard when you need to look at it.

I changed my desktop background to have an image of the FN layer. Having to minimize all your windows to find out where print screen is for the 5th time in an hour is a great way of forcing yourself to remember where it is!
