    It isn't food! Bits of cable and detritus out of light fittings that I wire up :p

    Capslock is a much better position for CTRL too!

    Doesn't it use Topre switches? You do know that they are just really fancy rubber domes right?

    longweight you honestly telling us you didn't know? :/

    And it's not quite that they are fancy rubber domes, they just take a bit from rubber domes (the bottom capacitive layer) and a bit from other mechanicals (having an individual spring etc under each key)

    longweigh where did you get that keyboard and how much was it? I am really thinking about getting the TKL filco camo from the keyboard company but I like the look of that board more. Is the typing similar to browns?

    Nothing like browns, my initial impression is that the HHKB2 is much nicer to type on and well worth the money, I have posted a typing video of the HHKB against my Filco with browns a few pages back :)
