    Awful switch selection though.

    It's certainly enjoyable. I find I can touch type much faster on the HHKB but that may be down to the blank caps. As wonderful as it feels, it just doesn't feel "special" however.

    That's because buckling springs are the most special of all keyboards. :D How's that terminal keyboard treating you?

    Love it! Again, the lower actuation distance still feels a little weird but it's such a tactile and responsive switch without being too heavy, it's a joy.

    The actuation distance is actually really low in comparison. But once you get used to that, its hard to go back.

    Don't know - I do kind of like them and I'm intrigued by the SA profile... I already have more keycap sets than keyboards and that includes the two GH60s that I'm in for...

    Edit: Are you interested for the Ergodox kit? What I want more than anything is Dolch...

    I am, I'm also interested in Bunny's Hyper GB. I don't want all blank caps on my Dox so I need to find at least one set.

    No but it will very soon. I think that I will go with whichever is going to end first. I need caps!
