This is what I have at home. Of course the skulls are now at the HHKB you see in my post above. Photo is taken a month ago.

I think I want to put the Angry Summer Brobot in F2-F4, Angry Summer UMAD in F6-F8 and then the yellow, orange and red skulls in F10-F12. That's what I will do tonight, if no interruption from social activities smile.gif

Few questions to answer before you make the decision...
- Do you like the layout of HHKB ?
- Do you think HHKB lacks of certain keys ?
- Why you need HHKB ?

It's the LAST keyboard you EVER need, bro. So, RM900 is a good investment. Besides, the value of HHKB holds quite well, so if you decide to sell, you won't make a huge loss. Also, once you start buying Clacks (I hope you don't ever go down this path), then RM900 for a board is, um, very small already. That Candy Corn skull you see on the ESC, the one with the yellow, orange and white? That bugger cost us$200, stupid one piece cap!

Won't be the death of you. Just the death of your wallet smile.gif These caps are VERY RARE where as, money, can still work doubly hard to earn back. But it will be VERY difficult to get caps these days. People are trading them for other caps, they are not even selling. But I have slowed down myself. I have collected the theme I am building and I am pretty happy now. So I have told myself I will stop looking. I hope I have the willpower. LOL!

Question of the day:

Have to be Topre, right? Their HHKB Type-S is probably the most expensive non custom from a major manufacturer.

Are there any traditional bricks-and-mortar retails that specialize in Mechanical Keyboards in Malaysia?

1 layout

3 forward slash replaced with backspace which i love
4 fn key closer to arrow keys which makes it easier to press both

5 i vim
5.5 i adapt to things very easily n quickly
6 2x usb ports for my wireless mouse and thumbdrive
7 durability
8 solid construction even tho its abs frame (it will yellow)
9 i already have 4 mkb...itchy to own topre but the price is too hell to consider.

Just a note that the USB in HHKB is only useful for wireless mouse. It somehow does not have enough power to power a USB drive. Dumb, I know, but that is how it is.

Yes, if you have 4 mkb, you gotta give HHKB a try. Without a doubt the master race of kb!

Nah, i never mentioned i wanted the novatouch.

Its tkl anyway. Dont like big boards. Love minimalist /60% / 68 key boards with the least number of keys, nice layouts and butter smooth pressing.
