I own an embarrassingly large number of Topre keyboards, typing right now on one I just got this week. This is beyond insanity.

The $3,600 keyboard that’s optimized for joy.

@paul Tell me a good Topre keyboard to buy so I don't buy this $3600 one. Please help.

@gruber if you can, try the HHKB. 6 years ago I tried it for 10 minutes. That was all it took for me. I couldn’t use anything else after that.

@kfirbreger They look so cool and I can see why folks love them, but I need arrow keys.

@gruber I’m gonna be that guy and go with “but actually”.
There are arrow keys, you just need to press the Fn modifier key. Normally that would suck, but it’s right next to the arrow keys so it’s so easy to do with one hand, that I don’t even realize I am pressing it while using the arrow keys.

I also get not wanting to.
