I gotta admit that I really like stock Clears, so I think I will enjoy MX Green once my JD40 is assembled and shipped. But I really wonder how practical JD40 is in real life.

JD40 is suitable for those never use punctuation.
Not really practical. Although you can map the keys to have punctuations and num keys.

But it's ergonomics and touch-type friendly.

cannot la for me blue is the max ady i wan to go down to lighther switch
sometime long hours of work
also finger fatique on blue ady
im not going green but going lighter swithces

looks like its a display keyboard more than a real thing but really cute thing to own haha i think if you like heavy GREEN is your thing man XD its nice but just few minutes i about to give up regret spending so much on green should do my home work before buying haha

want to ask since you love 60%
how is it ? is it piratical ? why people hype so much about 60% ?

because not many people use it

Is lubing a cherry mx blue a good idea or a stupid idea?

Let me give some of my thoughts on this.
Tbh 60% is really practical at least for me.
The first one I got was a poker 2. Then I got the FaceW from Sprit. I almost got the Nerd 60% as well but I opt for the tkl this time.
The ergonomics is really suitable for me, I don't really bother about the numpad tho so there's that. Gives me another option for a tenkeypad anyways if I need it
And 60% is quite easy to carry around, so there's that

Um, there's no good or bad idea. I've seen people lube clicky switches but sometimes i don't really think it's necessary.
Moreover, I've seen someone lubed till the clickiness of the switch was gone.
I guess lubing is more towards, linear and tactile switches. Just my opinion.

yeah. I use a HHKB at work so I use it almost 9 hours daily. I have no problems with 60% - that is how practical it is. The few times I have problems is when I needed to do heavy Excel work, ie I needed the arrow clusters. Then pressing FN keys and navigating in Excel was a pain! Other than that, 60% is my choice! Now I am using the 2TU at home and it was ok so far. Haven't really game with it yet, so can't comment.

that is a nice i never tired a 60% keyboard .Is there any other difference between the leopold fc660m and the HHKB other than the layout ?

fc660m is cherry mx while hhkb pro 2 is topre. the c variant is topre though.

Even though they are all Topre: FC660C, HHKB Pro 2 and RealForce, people claimed that they all feel different. I have not tried the FC660C myself so I can't really comment. HHKB is one of a kind because it is case mounted, so it gives out a totally different feel and sound - it's a very unique keyboard. You can't go wrong with HHKB if you have to choose between FC660C and HHKB. But if you went with FC660C, you will be left wondering what's the big deal with HHKB and will want one eventually.

But if one chose HHKB, won't one be wondering what's the real hype over FC660C?
Assuming first time experience with Topre of course.

I was thinking the same every one seem to own eventually get the HHKB. I really want to try a HHKB out hmmm i tired the real force before its nice.i like the leopold due to its standard layout and the arrow keys

which realforce have you tried?

i tried David 's real force

That's is Ducky Channel Taiwan distributer's of Realforce.
Realforce 104UB-DK

Spec:
- uniform 45g
- Black case (ABS)

what is the difference other than its badge under ducky ?

PFU Happy Hacking, Leopold FC660C and Topre Realforce all are using different layout.
The similarities are all using 6x ABS spacebar.

If you need of independent arrow keys and want a compact keyboard, FC660C is suitable for you.
I guess HHKB is better of course because of the layout and arrangement useful, keys needed by a typist and a programmer.
Layout always matters.

For Topre Realforce, it has a very well design of the case, it's easy to disassemble and assemble compared to the others.
Perfectly made.

It's the area of distribution. The keyboard still made in Japan.

For instance,
Ark (A) - distributed by Japan also
Ducky Channel (DK) - distributed in Taiwan
Leopold - distributed in S.Korea
EliteKeyboards (EK) - distributed in North America

The LED color of numlock/caplock/control and keycaps technology may varies depends on the series.

hmm interesting. next time if i am interested in buying a topre switches keyboard i know who to ask
and for the cm novatouch does it feel as good as real force or HHKB ?
