It's great for typing and playing StarCraft. It's a dream to type on and I've had no issues with "bad quality" as many people claim that they have had. It's kinda oddly small for a keyboard, but I consider this a positive after coming off of a laptop keyboard for the last year or 2. It's very clicky and has a very nice response and feel to it. I don't really ever feel like I'm pressing a cheap or weak key that might break off if I type on it too hard or too quickly. I don't have the back lit version, although I'm sure it's pretty nice. I like it overall and I'm glad that I invested the $80 into it. It's not the best keyboard ever, but it's far from the worst and I can proudly say that I own it. It really comes down to preference though and some people don't like the way that it feels. Hope you find a keyboard that you like | ||

Both are good choices. Okay, good to know there are no huge quality differences, thanks | ||

Now guess what they cost in the US. thats about right for used T_T;;; New hhk are like 270 euros T_T and type "S" are 375 euros -_-... If you can get a hhkb that is slightly used for less than $250 usd your getting a good deal. http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rftenkeyless http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=pfu_keyboards,hhkbpro2 http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,realforce | ||

Yep, I doubt you find any decent keyboard in affordable price in Europe. Not to mention Poland. I've had SS 6G v2 for over 4 months, then, suddenly one of the switches stopped working. I've got my money back and ordered a Noppoo Choc Mini White with MX Brown. Pretty much perfect keyboard, exactly what I want: better keycaps, better switches (less fatigue for wrists/fingers), great look, probably overall better build quality, NKRO over USB (6kro is enough anyway). It only lacks a wristrest (7g has a good one imo) You can get a Noppo Choc Mini with MX Black for ~95$ including shipment to Europe here - http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments +pbt keycaps (not the abs crap) and some other gamer stuff Although you might have to pay vat (23%) | ||

Filco and Topre don't sell anywhere in Sweden so the price ends up being quite high at a similar level amasokin mentioned for france for a topre. You can however find decent prizes on 6gv2, qpad, and other less known brands. I also saw the new Corsair on sale during christmas so there are some options depending what country you live in. you can order topre from verkkokauppa.com to sweden and estonia. Speaking of which I just ordered this: | ||

The lettering being on the front of the keys was kind of hard for me to get accustomed to at first, but now that I've adjusted I'm even more in love with this amazing product. I also own a metallic blue standard FILCO Majestouch 2 with Cherry Browns (just like my Ninja one) but the regular enter key has stopped working. Aside from sending the keyboard in to FILCO themselves to get a replacement, I opted to simply buy a new one first because I couldn't stand to not have this baby for any kind protracted period of time. My question is, should I opt to send my KB with the broken Enter key or is there some kind of keyboard repair place I can take it and have the switch fixed faster?

I've been just mad about the keyboards even since. As mentioned above, the Enter key went out on my original Metallic blue one and I've been debating whether I should send it to FILCO (since I'm pretty sure that I didnt own it for a full year) or perhaps just seek out a local mech keyboard repair place of some kind...assuming they exist! I mean, the way I see it, the only thing better than one FILCO is two, right? My current beauty. Like the website says, these things just make you want to type! | ||
